Comment on Ask HN: Many quality articles don't go to the front page. What is the problem?parent

Another obvious cause of submissions falling too quickly off the "new" posts page is that there is only room for the latest 30 posts. Seems like we could fit another 3-5 posts on the "new" page if we removed the posts that have already hit the front page. Of course, this is only a minor band-aid that doesn't solve the root problems, as you pointed out.

Getting dead ones off the page would yield another few.

You can set "showdead" to false in your profile.
