Ask HN: How do you keep up with HN?

As a recent recruit (and a happy contributor/beneficiary) of HN, I've been busy getting a feel of things here.

One issue that has been puzzling me so far is: With so much going on here, so many new threads, so many posts and what have you, how to keep up with everything in general?

I did find the creative use of title prefix conventions like Ask HN, Show HN, Tell HN etc. and the 'New' section to be somewhat useful from this perspective, but that's not really near enough to keep up with everything that happening here.

I'm still trying to figure things out for myself but please share your method/s and ideas.
