Maybe an unpopular opinion here but I am finding HN to be more and more like Reddit everyday. I normally only read HN articles that have atleast 500 points or more and have notifications setup for it. In the past I used to get only 1 or 2 notifications a week. Now I get atleast 4 a day. I find it hard nowadays to keep up.

The New section also has plenty of interesting submissions that don't make it to the front page, though it would be easy to lose hours reading them
Maybe there are more users now?
I only visit HN sine September 2020 and yet the growth of the user base in just 17 months seems obvious to me.

Covid and WFH probably contributed to that growth as well.

Perhaps you could increase the notification threshold.
