I think there needs to be criteria for _why_ post should end up there. Whom should the post be interesting to? There are two possible different audiences/scenarios:- - This post is interesting to read for beginners of the topic or for anyone generally curious, who do not have any deeper knowledge of the topic.
- or
- - This post is interesting to those with in-depth knowledge of the topic and follows certain tags on the specific site.
- I don't really see the need to promote the latter kind network-wide.
- SE kind of mixed these two. On SO, I had posts of mine end up on the HNQ a couple of times even when the topic was some nerdy, fairly advanced, programming language-lawyer thing that couldn't possibly be interesting to beginners, let alone a broader, general audience. I suspect it was some mod with specific personal interest in the tag who promoted them.
