Where/what is newest? I see a “new” on the top page, is that what is meant?
it’s referring to the page available at /newest - the “new” link leads to it
I wonder about the bias in this survey as it goes from newest to the main page.
From one that only ever opens the main page.
Very rarely, showdead on
Usually when I've submitted something myself.
If I get past page 3 without seeing anything interesting I will generally try new.
Change the link text from new to newest. Use the big word.
Every time I come to HN, I go to newest first before really looking at the main page.
I don't even know how to check newest except by accident.
Twice a year
Couple of times a year.
I use https://hckrnews.com/ . I prefer new over upvoted.
I rarely go to the front page.
I usually go through https://brutalist.report/ rather than HN's own 'new' link. It seems to filter out a lot of slop and self-promotion.
