This doesn’t solve your problem, at least not completely. But I wonder if being able to switch between posts and comments, or just have them intermingled, on the home page would help. Kinda like browsing new, but this was it’s not just post centric, and you see the highest zapranked items, regardless of type
Edit: basically adding this dropdown to the hot page
Btw, v interesting to intersect this idea w/ the idea of evergreen-ness.

It's an interesting start. This seems like one of the things where a lot of bottom-up efforts like the one you just described will give insights and point the way to larger compositions. Most people are so thoroughly trapped by the existing paradigms that they'll never figure it out (look at LLM chat interfaces as the most stunning example), so it requires a different kind of mind[s] to get there probably.
The intermingling idea seems very promising as an insight-generating tool. The "comment reputation" idea @k00b introduced the other week is a cool building block.

Old GameFAQs message boards were pretty active. They had a system where the topic with the latest comment was at the top so the default sort was based on activity.
I like the current hot metric but I wonder if recent activity couldn't also factor into the default hot sort
