Somewhat off topic, but I would welcome having a very small section of 2-3 randomly selected posts from “new” show up on top of the regular home page. That way “doing my part” in scanning over the enormous volume of new posts becomes frictionless.

They do this, but it shows up on the bottom of the front page and it isn’t random. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380

Yeah I've often thought this would be a good idea as well. Maybe they could be annotated somehow, e.g. blue color title, similar to how new users are green.
