I’ve added filtered lists to homepages on several projects before and I’d caution that to populate multiple “most recent” lists with overlapping filters, you really need a very active community to begin with. Now when your community is that active, you’ll also have a much richer set of content to work with for building a dynamic homepage. In that case, a block of different lists might rather come off as static and not so visually appealing.

Though for a slightly different angle, you could also explore just putting one or two lists with a manual time filter. That could even feel more dynamic for the users. As in this view:

That’s a feature I took from the Central theme and it’s available here as a block component: [Manuel Kostka / Discourse / Blocks / Top Topics · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/manuelkostka/discourse/blocks/top-topics)
