I believe Somewhere Else only high-rep. users can see Closed Questions (except their own). I think that is a pointlessly elitist attitude, for lack of a better term. On the other hand, I realize that *generally* speaking, Closed Questions are just needless clutter to most users, most of the time.

I suggest an easy way to toggle viewing of Closed Questions on/off on the main post page, with default for new users and non-logged-in users of "off". In addition to a toggle that *anyone* can use, at any time, include a User Profile option to determine the default configuration for that user (either per Community or global - whichever is easiest to implement).
