I agree with your characterisation of the problem—new good new comments on old threads can get missed. A ‘sort by new comments’ option would probably help. An alternative would be to use a mixed algorithm to make up the default frontpage. A mixture of recent article/recent posts/lots of upvotes. I’m happy to discuss this more.
