Somewhat off topic, but I would welcome having a very small section of 2-3 randomly selected posts from “new” show up on top of the regular home page.

That way “doing my part” in scanning over the enormous volume of new posts becomes frictionless.

They do this, but it shows up on the bottom of the front page and it isn’t random.

Only one of my submissions made it to the front page and that's how it got there.

that might be a problem

and I think it is a problem by looking at the posts on the front page with very low vote counts... they appear to be ads sometimes.

Yeah I've often thought this would be a good idea as well. Maybe they could be annotated somehow, e.g. blue color title, similar to how new users are green.
