I&#x27;m sure that&#x27;s intentional, to prevent the creation of bubble filters in the community.  HN is already going to select for a very narrow range of people, so it does no good to further exclude parts of the community from potentially interesting content.<p>As long as the main user base doesn&#x27;t grow too large, then there should be enough on the Front page each day for everyone to find something of interest and be able to participate in comments.
