I’d suggest initially making short-form a seperate section of the site as my suspicion that if it really is a compelling feature it should be able to succeed on its own without homepage integration. Otherwise, it likely doesn’t provide enough value to make up for the loss of nuance.
On the Daily/AllPosts page, for each “day”, show an abridged list of new shortform posts
On the frontpage, fine-tune the Recent Discussion somewhat so that it shows denser content (you can already see this if you turn on the experimental features option). This helps with a more general problem of “posting a comment on an old thread feels a bit like shouting in the void.”

A few plausible plans we’re been thinking about:
Add a separate shortform feed page
On the Daily/AllPosts page, for each “day”, show an abridged list of new shortform posts
On the frontpage, fine-tune the Recent Discussion somewhat so that it shows denser content (you can already see this if you turn on the experimental features option). This helps with a more general problem of “posting a comment on an old thread feels a bit like shouting in the void.”
Curious if any of those sound actively bad.
