Lead developer for the Forum here. I’m trying to ramp up the amount of feedback I get and this thread was very useful.
Addressing one large theme—sorting and filtering:
I was excited to see people wanting more sorting options because I’m working on something related right now. My goal is to make it easier to get e.g. the top posts in the past month. It’s still very much in early development and I want to make it something that works for LessWrong as well, so no promises that it’ll ship the way I’m currently envisioning it.
In order to get that though you have to find the AllPosts page. LessWrong has a sidebar on the left that’s auto-expanded and has a link to the AllPosts page. I’m interested in what the EA version of the LessWrong sidebar should be and this conversation has updated me towards building that sooner.
It would be great if the AllPosts page displayed the first ~100 posts instead of just the first ~16. Every few months, I find myself spending several minutes repeatedly clicking the “Load More Days” button.
Quick note that if you set All Posts to “sort by new” instead of “sort by Daily” there’ll be 50 posts. (The Daily view is a bit weird because it varies a lot depending on forum traffic that week)

Seems reasonable.
