>Flagging on the other hand to me on a post as such and other attempts genuinely sadden me because I was only able to discover this flagged post because people wrote about this article in the post I built which has also promptly got flagged. I find that annoying myself. However, at the suggestion of another user, I began looking at https://news.ycombinator.com/active https://news.ycombinator.com/active instead of the front page. The "active" page (as its name implies) includes the most active discussions regardless of whether or not they've been flagged. I find it to be a much better place to find stuff to discuss.

On top of these methods, I will often surface content and discussion by looking at: - the search page for the last 24H, with a list of both "title" keywords and "comment" keywords, based on how many results are appearing - the comment histories of folks I have enjoyed. I do this by modifying the query string in the URL field. I am quite glad that these modes of finding content on the site take a little effort- I already have a 180min time out and it's not the healthiest way to try and find my news. This is, fortunately, the only social media site I am actively writing responses on, other than some message boards. And I don't try to book mark my way through those keywords- I just have a set of stuff I find in comment threads I find interesting memorized and look for those threads ("measles", "salvador", "venazuela", "flock"). But I find it a lot easier to find general news and conversations I am curious about using that method.
