So … a new LW2 participant will by default be presented with a front page suggesting to them that they’re supposed to read all of HPMOR and that not having done so means they haven’t yet done their duty? I strongly advise against this.
Better, if feasible: (1) by default a new user has an empty reading queue; (2) by default a new user is presented with a thing saying “Go here to set up your reading queue”; (3) making that go away without actually adding anything to your reading queue is easy, but (4) adding things like the Sequences or HPMOR to your queue is also easy.
I, too, recommend avoiding the “Continue eating your veggies. You have eaten 4 out of 25 turnips. Your progress in eating turnips is 16%” nagware, especially at the top of the front page.
