(2) solves it... you can just zap the amount necessary to get it to the front page, which would be the same as for a new post.
The only advantage new posts will now have is that they are discoverable via Recent

May want to measure top by post date too though. I don't care if someone zapped some 5 months old post with 1M sats today if I want to know top posts of today; that's what hot is for. If I want to know what the best posts from the last year were I can change the selector in top?
Top is by default timebound, though. I think the default for Top is one day
Yes, so currently top posts for day by zaprank shows me what was posted today. It is different from hot because zaprank doesn't diminish. So for example when there are a lot of posts in hot (like this week) then top(day) helps me find what I may have missed during the time I was coding instead of reading SN while I was imagining that my LLM was coding.
Yeah, this would essentially make it so the rewards system was based on something more like zapping hot content (zapped a lot that day) rather than top (created and zapped a lot that day).
I also want to be able to search for the top content created during specific periods.
Another example would be that when I wake up - at wrong hours now that I'm stuck-ish on the wrong side of the Atlantic - hot is dominated by boosts and ~Stacker_Sports comments regarding whatever games were on the night before in the US, until the rest of Europe wakes up. While I think it good that those are now making it into hot under no-trust-november rules, it still happens that I miss things I find interesting because front-page real estate is limited. Before, I was lucky to have similar interests as k00b so I didn't have to do it that often, but I find myself clicking top first thing in the morning, rather than reading hot, much more often.
I know k00b is liking the removal of trust, but I think it's nice to at least have it for personalized feeds.
overall i think it's an improvement. it's much more transparent now why one item is above another. Even if dirty fiat sports dominates the front pages during gametime

Doesn't Top already do that?
To be perfectly pedantic about it, new posts don't have any advantages for Top either, Top just filters them by time range and it just so happens that the default filter is for the last 24 hours.
It solves but also deprives us of @Scoresby's commentary. That's not a welfare improving trade, if you ask me.
That's definitely the right way to handle it if you want to add on to the original.
Part of my motivation here is coming from owning territories and thinking of them as content repositories. There are lots of posts in ~Politics_And_Law, for instance, that would have fit in ~econ and I'd like to be able to add them to our collection.
This is not a cross posting problem, but it's related: I often come across links or projects that I think are really interesting and I want to do a write up of them. But then i find that someone already posted a link to the project AND that it barely got any attention (often 0 comments and just a few sats).
My solution has been to refer to the OP in the first few lines of my post, but proceed with posting the dupe. Usually I also forward zaps to the OP. This flow isn't bad, in my mind.
Just being able to add a cross post to a different territory may not be the most useful thing when you could repost it in the desired additional territory with some added context.
