Where/what is newest? I see a “new” on the top page, is that what is meant?
I wonder about the bias in this survey as it goes from newest to the main page.
From one that only ever opens the main page.
Change the link text from new to newest. Use the big word.
If I get past page 3 without seeing anything interesting I will generally try new.
Usually when I've submitted something myself.
I don't even know how to check newest except by accident.
Every time I come to HN, I go to newest first before really looking at the main page.
Twice a year
I use https://hckrnews.com/ . I prefer new over upvoted.
Couple of times a year.
I usually go through https://brutalist.report/ rather than HN's own 'new' link. It seems to filter out a lot of slop and self-promotion.
I rarely go to the front page.
