I’m here for the discussions on topics. They aren’t always time sensitive or latest news. Maybe it’s learning thoughts from a few months back on an announcement. We are low time preference folks eh?
So my feature ideas to solve these needs could be i) most commented (not just top) in last x days (top level like latest, top) ii) search with a filter or sort by most commented.
What you all think?
Both are great suggestions!
Adding most commented would be great. I definitely need to add more options to search too.

Some kind of wiki of the bestof SN would be nice to see

I like the idea of most commented I do tend to click more on posts that have a lot of comments because it's a good signal for discussion, what could be cool is unique comments/commentors vs straight comments because sometimes its just 2 dudes chatting up a storm and some posts are a bunch of people

Probably less now b/c it costs exponentially more to do multiple comments as of last week. But yeah, I think we should have both sats and upvotes as separate functions because they serve separate ideas. Sats for "I like this." and "Thank you" and then upvotes for "I think more people should see this" which could resurrect an old post to the top if a few people did it. Would work even better if we could follow certain users' activity too. That way a more followed user could upvote an old post and it would get magnified by people who agree.

Perhaps topic categories can be the next addition?

Great ideas. Voted with plenty of sats...
