An option to subscribe (notifications on email or otherwise) to search terms.
Currently I’m hesitant to even glance at the Frontpage because there are so many potentially interesting things I would eagerly read and get nerdsniped by. So looking at it predictably wastes my time when I know I should (for now) be concentrating on the topics I’m currently focusing on. But I do want to catch the forum post I’m most likely to benefit from. Hence I want to be able to customize what I get sent by email (or the bell top-right).
This is probably a better way to match high-quality posts along some dimension with the readers who are looking for quality in that dimension. And in a system quality is a high-dimensional space, it’s probably more important to optimize matching the qualities pairwise rather than optimizing a global metric (karma) for estimating latent quality.
Would you like to get notified of all posts that get tagged with some topic? That might be the right way to get what you want here. You can do so by going to a topic, Moral Philosophy say, subscribing to the topic and choosing to be notified.
Oh. Yes, that would capture most of the value. I had subscribed to topics before, but I hadn’t clicked the bell. It’s supposed to be dark if I want it to send me emails, right?
