Comment on Ask HN: How do you deal with HN FOMO?

Comments

For reading, the algolia interface allows you to choose an exact start (and end) date (+ sort by popularity). It is easy to jump directly to where you left off, even after, say (exactly) 55 days.

But you will miss out on the live interaction. (Rant alert) HN is VERY BAD at this. It is very hard to join conversations after a very short span of time (1 day, 2?)

1. Your threads are sorted by the date of your comment, not by the date of the last replies to them.

2. No notification

1 + 2 = you simply move with the flow, or am I missing something here?
