what changes could be made that would encourage users to explore

Microcontent, context.

News sites (though not HN) typically categorise stories topinally: local, regional, world (often forthrr by region), events, disasters, crime, politics, business, labour, science, technology, sport, culture, entertainment, health, real estate, transport, style (with varying overlap).

Jacob Nielsen on microcontent. I'd prefer a brief lede 'graf, say, 10-20 words (about a tweet), well chosen for framing item(s).
