My suggestion would be to randomly feature 5 new articles on the home page (probably below rank 20, so as not to pollute the top 10). This way, they get more visibility than by being only on the "new page", and get a chance to get the clicks they need.
I think that it's already the case : some articles are nofollow on HN homepage. They usually are 3 or 4 upvote at the bottom mixed with upvoted dofollow links.
