This is the second time this was posted, and I’m really really glad that it was because I forgot about it the first time. It got ~30 upvotes each time (therefore disappearing relatively quickly), even though the second post was improved even further, and it seems unlikely that it will get an appropriate amount of upvotes if posted a third time, even though most people probably missed it both times.
Lesswrong needs some sort of solution to this, Lesswrong as a site should be more optimized towards steering people towards joining groups in person (and the events side tab is still extremely easy to miss). Putting this doc as the “featured banner” at the top is a really good idea (in a week or something, so all the people missing it now will be more likely to see it then instead of double-layering) but it’s a temporary band-aid solution. We need the structure of the site to redirect more people to more in-person groups.
It was not actually reposted exactly, it was just not immediately promoted to frontpage as the mods were had priors about living documents not being kept up to date. Alignment Ecosystem Development sees this as one of our top priorities, and demonstrated that we’re serious about trying to fix this problem.
For generally redirecting people to in-person groups, LessWrong has the Community section in the sidebar, which seems pretty good.
