Why doesn't the pool section appear on the front-page?
Opening https://news.ycombinator.com doesn't show the pool section in the top. But visiting https://news.ycombinator.com/pool shows the pool as well as the other sections in the top.
You have to follow the Lists link at the bottom. The mods are very hesitant to add more UI elements to the frontpage.
Sorry, what is the pool? On first glance, it doesn’t seem any different from the main page.
