My understanding is shortforms have next to no visibility unless people are already subscribed to a particular person’s shortform feed. That seems about right for me? If I’m interested in what say, Scott thinks the best comments are but not interested in what Ray thinks the best comments are, then I subscribe to one but not the other.
I’m not saying this is the best possible UX, I’m just noting I’m tempted to try this with the affordances I have.
Tangential question: I know how to view all the posts by karma or by other criteria. Is there a way to view all comments by karma or other criteria? It occurs to me that part of the reason I don’t usually read comment threads except on my own posts is that I don’t know where the good discussion is happening.

As a quick note, I think it’s pretty likely we will copy the EA Forum’s Quick Takes section: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/
I quite like how it works, and I think it gives about the right level of visibility to shortform posts.

Oh boy, I can’t wait for this.
It’s done as of yesterday!
