One general question, folks. This is my first lesswrong post. What do I need to have this post as part of the “promoted posts” and consequently accessible to more readers of this site. Till today I never even noticed the new tabs post, which is currently the only easy way to reach my post.
“Promoted” posts (appearing on the front page) are chosen by the editors on the basis of substantive new content, clear argument, good writing, popularity, and importance.
My understanding is that one of a handful of editors has to manually promote your post, which they tend to do if (a) they wrote the post, (b) the post gets a high (about 20+) score, or (c) it’s about a Less Wrong meetup.

To be fair, the editor in question doesn’t promote all of their own posts.
Absolutely—I didn’t mean to imply that was the case.
