As your goal is to build community, I would time new posts based on posting and commenting activity. For example, whenever there is a lull, this would be an excellent time to make a new post. (I noticed over the weekend there were some times when 45 minutes would pass between subsequent comments and wished for a new post to jazz things up.)
On the other hand, if there are several new posts already, then it would be nice to wait until their activity has waned a bit.
I think that it is optimal to have 1 or 2 posts ‘going on’ at a time. I prefer the second post when one of them is technical and/or of focused interest to a smaller subset of Less Wrongers.

(But otherwise no limit on the rate of posts.)
