If by newest you mean new, then I check it several times a day. It's a nice way of finding interesting content and submissions that will never make it to the Frontpage either because of bad timing or whatever reason.
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.
Where/what is newest? I see a “new” on the top page, is that what is meant?
it’s referring to the page available at /newest - the “new” link leads to it
yes, the "new" anchor links to /newest
Usually when I've submitted something myself.
If I get past page 3 without seeing anything interesting I will generally try new.
Change the link text from new to newest. Use the big word.
Very rarely, showdead on
Every time I come to HN, I go to newest first before really looking at the main page.
Couple of times a year.
Twice a year
I don't even know how to check newest except by accident.
I use https://hckrnews.com/ . I prefer new over upvoted.
I rarely go to the front page.
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.
