When I posted, the front page felt “spammy”, with lots of generic, low-quality posts, presumably from first-time posters. I now rarely click on anything below 15 karma, but that was >50% of my frontpage.
Thanks! That’s great to hear because it’s a problem I’m thinking about right now. Obviously we can’t just not show low karma posts to people because every post was once low karma (and every author too).
One solution, which I think I mentioned to you before, is to have a more curated and streamlined frontpage, for those who want to only see the best of the (recent) Forum. Below is a mock-up:
Would something like this solve your problem do you think? Posts which appeared on this page would be hand chosen, with a similar bar to the Digest, but updated daily.
PS- I know it is bad product discovery to just ask lol. I still think you get some evidence from a strong no or a strong yes.
Is there a way for me to filter posts below say 15 karma from my frontage? I couldn’t easily find it on mobile.
I don’t think so. Best bet is to use the all posts page, weekly, sort by karma. Then close your eyes when you scroll down to posts below 15 karma.
What was the use case here?
