My main method is the >400 points feed: https://hnrss.org/frontpage?points=400

That gives a handful of items a day that I can decide if I want to read or not. I tweak the threshold every once and a while when I feel like I am getting too much or too little.

I also have a few other feeds that I am subscribed to for keywords that I am particularly interested in with much lower thresholds.

Then of course when my feed reader is empty I will sometimes just browse the site.
