With the rate of posts being that far up, there may have been a lot of posts that were totally overlooked, especially those that started at 1 or 2 karma, since they disappeared from the frontpage very quickly. It may be a good time to look a bit through the All Posts page (which I assume most people don’t).
(That could be true even if some people upvoted more during this week rather than less. Maybe the posts that went above 20 or even 10 karma had an advantage, but I doubt the 1-2 karma posts did.)
I gotta say, having the power to just gift someone 2$-21$ with the click of a button, at no cost to myself, was pretty neat :-)
I’d suggest a community norm of “if you think your post(s) got overlooked because of GHW, feel free to resubmit slowly over the next ~month”. (Where I’m not sure what resubmitting looks like exactly—if you move to drafts and then publish again, does that bring to the top of the front page while preserving comments?) I’d likely do this with one of my posts but not the other.
Yeah I felt like maybe my post about my metaethics/anti-realism sequence got overlooked. I saw that by the time it was promoted to frontpage, it was no longer directly visible because of new posts or high-karma older posts taking up the frontpage space. I don’t care about the karma but I was hoping to get some more comments on the sequence from Lesswrongers. I never crossposted any of the 9 sequence posts because that would be cluttering up people’s attention, so this is the only time Lesswrong hears about this pretty big amount of content that I put together.
Yeah, if your post was on frontpage for less than an hour I think it’s fine to draft it and re-publish a week or two later. Site isn’t quite used to having this much content.

Yeah I think this is okay this time, especially if your post fell off the front page in under an hour.
I feel this is a good norm too. I expect the trivial inconvenience is sufficient to prevent most people from resubmitting.

I published an article on induction https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/7x4eGxXL5DMwRwzDQ/commensurable-scientific-paradigms-or-computable-induction of decent length/complexity that send to have gotten no visibility at all, which I found very discouraging for my desire to ever do so again. I could only find it by checking my user profile!
Alas. I think re-posting in a week or so is fine.
