Feature update: I have added to the profile page a new highly-compressed overview of all of the user’s LessWrong contributions!
In the right sidebar you can find a single diamond for each post and for each comment that the user has written.
Hovering over the post/comment lets you read it, and clicking opens it.
The higher karma items are colored a darker shade of green. (Comments up to 50 karma, posts up to 100.)
Posts that have been curated or that have passed the annual LW review, are gold/brown.
It caps out at 250 posts and 500 comments, where you can click Show All to view the rest.
I currently think this is a very simple and visceral way to get a sense of someone’s activity on LessWrong. As a bonus, it also makes pretty patterns :-)
My main concern with this is that it is too visually distracting from the content on the page, so I’ll keep an eye out for that over the coming weeks and check if it feels like a big problem.
Again, the invitation is open for feedback/suggestions!
(In case anyone’s wondering, I had been thinking of building something like this since Inkhaven, and I did not primarily build this in response to the comments on the new profile page, but I worked on it presently in the hope that it could also help with some of the desires people have.)
It includes deleted comments, probably also in the comment count (which is higher in the new panel than the mouse-over comment count).
The number of posts doesn’t match either, but it’s less clear why. The number of posts in the new panel matches the posts displayed in the All Posts tab minus shortform, but the number in the mouse-over view is higher.

Maybe also add a link to the shortform (though mousehovering the first comment seems to work).
Agree that quick takes need to be findable! Probably we’ll soon make it a tab alongside posts and sequences.

Yeah, our post and comment counts have been janky for a long time. I should force a recount sometime.
It looks too red to me that it just seems like a highly downvoted post.
Oh interesting! I’ll play around with lighter shades of yellow/gold.
