Oh, also just for the record, we have a pingback section at the bottom of every post, above the comment section, which basically achieves exactly this. If you write a popular response to a post, it will show up right below the post for anyone to see!
I find that feature extremely helpful a lot of old sequence posts are outdated or have detailed expansions which often ping the original post, that alongside with precise tagging makes lesswrong easier. I don’t know how feasible this is, and how much usage it will garner but a pingback, tagging or bookmark feature for shortforms— since people are resorting to expanding various ideas in this format— would be useful, whereas in early era of lesswrong there were extremely short posts, which makes searching for them much easier.
(Or alternatively make shortforms more like twitter and add a low character limit)
