I’ve gone on EA forum much more often when I get regular emails about new posts on the EA forum. I want to check LessWrong more often, but… I don’t...
The EA forum had a mailing list that was hidden and very hard to search for; took me around 6 months after it launched for me to know that it even existed: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/zRoXctENAsLchwryn/sign-up-for-the-forum-s-email-digest
On the home page of LessWrong, on the side bar, I clicked subscribe, and email, but I’m not getting any emails from less wrong.
I prefer not to have RSS; I think I tried figuring out how to get RSS to work, but then got confused / it had too much activation energy to set up properly?
Other things I can try
using tabsnooze / snoozz to open windows on a scheduled basis
setting up a recurring email to remind me to open up LessWrong
However the newsletter is better because I can see interesting posts that I want to read and directly click on them.
Hmm – you should be able to subscribe to our curated email feed (this sends out an email once every 3-4 days or so). Doublechecking you’ve checked your spam or promotions folder?
I just took a look at your account and it seems like it should be set up to receive curation emails.
Strange… I haven’t been getting any emails.
