Wouldn’t option 2 above mostly resolve these concerns? Community stuff would still be fully visible on the frontpage, just boxed into its own section rather than intermixed.
I do prefer that layout in that sense (not all senses). I’m not sure that’s the format the community or staff will end up trying though. They might conclude that section isn’t separate enough to solve all the problems with people wasting energy, getting discouraged, and being nerdsniped.
