We did have the Popular Comments section. For some reason I didn’t like the popular comments section – it often was showing comments that were kind of tribal.
FYI, I haven’t actually gotten the UI to be that great yet, but, I’ve tried out version of the site that renders comments and posts together, clustered by time period:
In practice, atm, the “Today” section has a fair number of comments (because the posts haven’t been super upvoted yet). Then they mostly shift to posts (and if you click “load more”, some upvoted quick takes).
But, this might change over time, if people got basically as much opportunity to see and upvote comments as they did posts.
