Thanks! However, /top is not exactly what I mean. top orders by popularity, and filters by date. This means that when people want to see interesting posts they go to top, and new posts depend on people viewing the default latest. Reddit has a top view too, but the default view is called “hot”, and it shows posts ordered by a function of both popularity and date. This means that the front page shows both new posts and recent highly rated posts. New posts which get a high rating remain in the hot view for a relatively long time, while less interesting posts drop quickly down the list.
This means that people immediately see interesting posts on the front page, but we don’t depend on other pages (latest) for new posts to get rated.
