I’ve been following Lesswrong for months now, and only because of this post did I found out that there’s more posts hidden under ‘main’ than just the promoted ones. So Thanks Elo!
I now wonder if there are any other hidden site features I don’t know about.
I have to say this is not very good design. Why would you hide posts in such a non-obvious way. It’s also rather inconsistent. The discussion page opens an overview page of newest posts, while the main page shows only a subset of newest posts, and shows the full content instead of an overview. There is apparently a way to get both main and discussion on a single page (see the links Vaniver and ike posted), but then for some reason the overview page is formatted completely differently.
I agree that this is not a good design, and even when you use the link which gives both main and discussion, I dislike the format compared with the normal discussion page.
I now read all articles (from both main and discussion) using an rss feed, but it would be better if there were a link at the top to “all posts”, formatted in the style of the discussion page.
O wow.

useful feature: the little envelope below comments and posts allows you to follow a post and receive future comments on it in your inbox
