Personally, not liking the short list of Discussion in favor of News. Makes it more difficult to keep up with current discussions.
The short list of discussion items is because there are no new items to display. It's not because we are choosing to not show more. It's currently set to show 20. (Thank you for the feedback)
I shortened up the list of news items, it was only long for testing, to see what was going on. (Thank you for the feedback)
I've disabled the feeds that were duplicating posts, and added them back to the home page, the old fashioned way.
Let's let it run another few days and see how it goes. We'll make tweaks, and see if any of it is worth keeping.
