We also get complaints about those stories not being covered enough. The HN front page is suboptimal for nearly every individual user no matter what we do.
(This is not a criticism of the OP, nor a complaint - I just think it's interesting.)
I, for one, am glad it's not optimized for everyone. It's tough to find places with new exciting content that's adjacent to what I like, which HackerNews does exceedingly well.
I also enjoy the moderation style, which weeds out low-effort posts that plague other communities, so thanks a lot for all the hard work, Dang and team. Keep it up!

Edit: grammar
Plenty of places on reddit have a tag system so that you can filter out COVID-19 or Ukraine/Russia on world news.
Is it time to have something like that on Hacker News?
I think the short answer to that is 'no' or 'it wouldn't be HN'. At great length:
