I still feel it'd be worthwhile to experiment with having the /newest content displayed explicitly as a section on the front page. There's no risk of people confusing /newest content as regular front page content this way. It's definitely true that some people will eventually tune out the /newest section in this setup, but those are probably the same people who wouldn't have checked /newest regularly anyways. However, for those who wouldn't mind checking out /newest once in a while, this would remove a great deal of the friction (I realize that clicking the new link isn't a lot of friction to begin with, but every bit helps).
