I think two things need to be done:
1. Encourage more people to monitor the "new" page, and
2. Slow down the submission of crap to the "new" page.
For instance, why is there no karma threshold for submitting new links? I just had a quick look, and there's several new links from someone trying to sell holidays to Vietnam with an account that was created eighteen minutes ago.
- ryanwaggoner 16y agoAgreed, and once those are done, I think some exposure of new stories on the homepage (similar to Reddit) would also be helpful.
- detst 16y ago> 1. Encourage more people to monitor the "new" page, and Even though I know what "new" does, I seem to interpret it as "create something new" instead of "view new submissions". Maybe I'm just an odd person but I think changing that to "newest" could make a difference if there are more people like me, especially for new users.
- hugh3 16y agoGood point. Really, looking at the list of the newest submissions should be exciting, but most people seem to see it as a chore. I'd do A/B testing by changing it to "Hot Fresh Exciting New Links!" and see how many people now click on it.
