That greatly reduces the feed’s usability for its intended purpose. I think a single temporarily pinned “index” comment (possibly shortform) that links to other comments relevant at the moment it’s written wiki-style makes more sense.
(Not sure if my use of copious self-linking to replace posts with interlinked comments seems obnoxious. Doesn’t seem to earn downvotes or remarks, and mouse-over previews make it more reader-friendly than on other sites, but others aren’t doing it. So I’m a bit concerned it looks bad, a present but currently losing pressure towards actually writing up posts.)
(By “annoying” do you refer to my self-linking or to your pinning of many comments, crowding out recent comments? I expect the latter, but it would be valuable info if it’s the former.)
Thanks for the clarification. Looks garish at the moment though, with visible URLs (edit: no longer the case). I find using Markdown editor (which is an option in LW settings) very convenient for adding many links, it looks like that index comment in source code, but presents URLs as links for the readers.

Yeah, it’s honestly been annoying even for me. Good idea, I’ll switch to that.
