I would like if LessWrong provided an optional newsletter like the EA forum digest, for people who want the chance to catch non-curated posts without having to open LessWrong and sift through it directly every few days.
Here's what the EA Forum digest looks like : a list of titles + author + time to read.
I don't know exactly how much manual curation goes into it and I'm not asking for that. I'd find a simple karma threshold and this format valuable.
I am also writing up this quick take notably because I've had discussions with other people who'd like this, and because recently costs of development and maintenance of software like this have gone down.
I don't find the existing RSS feed a preferable alternative.
- I have never setup an RSS feed reader or similar process, I don't think I want to and guess most LW readers are similar.
- It seems it would on top of that would take extra work to get the format I want out of it
