#1 is something we’ve been thinking about awhile, although implementing it in a way manner with a clear, clear UI is a fair bit of work so it’s not planned for near-term.
If this were the case, I imagine it could be nice to make this a lot more obvious (like having “common knowledge” sections of the site to familiarize yourself with before posting).
We’re working on distill things down further, but this is roughly the intent of the library page (with R:AZ and Codex being the most important and the curated sequences being next most important). This is certainly a lot of content. The recent Canon/Peer Review discussion may hopefully result in distilling these things further down, but when all is said and done there’s just a lot of content.
I think even if we distilled things further you’d still run into people criticizing you for repeating something, so I think the best approach there is to start with lower key posts (perhaps using a Shortform Feed to hash out the idea) before investing a lot of time into an effortpost.
(Oftentimes, new angles on old ideas are useful anyhow, but it’s still helpful to know what came before so you know how to cover it differently)

Take a look at how lobste.rs does this.
(Actually, a lot of the functionality and UI stuff mentioned here, and in your recent thread, is something I’ve worked on when tinkering with my fork of lobste.rs, and I think there are a good few lessons / transferable design work / etc. there—email me if you’re interested in discussing it.)
Thanks! Re: #4, I think that gets explored a bit in this thread:
