i'm fine with filtering out highly-ranked global content. this was my main problem with reddit: it was difficult to filter out highly-ranked content that i didn't want to see. hubski has solved this, but still makes it easily available on the global pages (equivalent to the difference between reddit's frontpage of your subscriptions and /r/all). highly-ranked content that is outside my filter bubble of followed users is okay to keep off the front page.

but i want to see content from people i've followed that hasn't been voted on very much. afiact you only provide feeds for "hot" content from people i've followed, no feeds for obscure content.

i also want to see globally obscure content promotion on the main page. i am fine with seeing new content outside my filter bubble, and it's available on the low-ranked global pages, but users have to actually think about it and then go there. most users are consumption-oriented, and will look at the front page briefly, upvote things that are already highly-ranked, and then be done. if you can divert attention from the main page to new content, you will improve the ability of new content to get off the ground.

i don't remember the "global post" mixing feature. did it show new global posts, or highly ranked global posts?
