...I only ever even saw a small fraction. … I mostly just click on things on the front page.
Did you browse inkhaven.blog, or just the front page of LessWrong? The Inkhaven website has a few neat features that curate some of the better posts (e.g. encouraging authors to highlight their best posts), and includes a number of posts that authors seemed to not post to LessWrong.
I think as a reader I’d have liked the results better if participants had to publish every other day instead.
I think there are a number of potential solutions to the problem you’re outlining. This is one, but there are many others (e.g. encouraging some of the days to be more focused on editing past pieces, or only publishing the best of every three days’ posts, etc).
Thanks for the reminder! I stopped checking inkhaven.blog ~instantly, and am only reacting to how it impacted my normal blogophere experience.
Scanning through inkhaven.blog a bit more and reading various sorts of links at random, neither random posts nor sampled curated posts really do it for me, but good stuff is definitely in there—including a few posts I had found in other ways without knowing they were part of Inkhaven (good job by the promotion/recommendation process conditional on just showing 1 or 2).
