The best thing about HN is being introduced to new things, so I wouldn't want to limit that by filtering by what I already know about.

A feature which has been very helpful a couple of times is the noprocrast setting, which you can get to boot you off HN for a while if you spend too much time here.

If you click thread at the top it's not hard to see if your recent comments have replies.

Sometimes I look at https://hckrnews.com/ which just shows the recent top stories in chronological order.

Also see this github page about undocumented HN features https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented

If you want to add to HN, go to new and upvote good stories. Go to ask and answer questions. Go to show and give people feedback. Submit fascinating things. Write awesome things yourself and submit them. Teach us something. (Ask not what HN can do for you etc) Good luck.
