I think Lesswrong's solution only works because they have a small community, and they have a lot of comment junkies that want to read every new comment. Reddit and HN also have new comment feeds (https://www.reddit.com/r/all/comments/ https://www.reddit.com/r/all/comments/ https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments), but I don't think anyone but bots read them. Granted they could be made more prominent like on Lesswrong.

- mos_basik 10y ago>reddit.com/r/<subreddit>/comments/ Thanks for posting that; I'd never seen it before. As my sister comment said, for smaller subs it could be quite useful for finding active discussions - like on /r/truefilm or something. People always say "sort Reddit threads by comment age if you want the 4chan experience" and that has some merit - but that only applies once you have chosen a thread to open. A subreddit-wide comment feed gives an idea of which threads are active without relying on the blackbox thread ranking algorithm Reddit provides.
