Why not just have a “light”(lite?) subreddit, and put anything that would be a top-level open thread post in there? If we are going to make a new subreddit just for that, wouldn’t it make sense to start titling them by topic rather than by date range? (Perhaps a links topic would still be useful.)
If we don’t go that route, I think stickying is lightweight and would be effective.
That’s exactly what I had in mind with the subreddit idea! And just having a more casual place for LWers to hangout might be good for community building, even if every post isn’t directly related to rationality.
