@DavidRoberts At the risk of derailing: is there a queue where one can see "all new answers"? I tend to rely on checking the front page but this only shows questions with recent activity, and some of this is editing — Yemon Choi Jun 11 at 21:16

@YemonChoi mathoverflow.net/questions?tab=Newest works, I think. You have to go through the 'questions' link in the menu on the left (under the hamburger lines, for me) and then you can pick 'newest', 'active', 'unanswered', or even a custom filter for instance for just the newest with the tags you care about. — David Roberts ♦ Jun 13 at 4:35

@DavidRoberts AFAIK tab shows new questions and not new answers. — Martin Sleziak 1 min ago

@YemonChoi It is not in the same nice form as the various tabs available on the questions page, but one can search for answers and then choose to order the search result by newest or active. Sometimes it could be reasonable to restrict this to the list of tags you're watching. — Martin Sleziak 2 mins ago

Getting a list of new answers to old questions would probably be a task for SEDE. Search on the site allows to restrict by the age of the post, but the active tab shows the questions which were bumped for any reason. Feel free to ping me in my chatroom if you want to discuss this a bit more (so that we avoid a long exchange in comments). And maybe something like this would be a reasonable as a separate question here on meta. — Martin Sleziak 1 min ago

@MartinSleziak oh, whoops. Wasn't paying enough attention to the question. I guess the 'active' tab is the next best approximation, before actual SEDE queries like you suggest. — David Roberts ♦ 14 mins ago

@YemonChoi sorry, it seems I completely mis-read your question! See Martin's comments — David Roberts ♦ 13 mins ago

I was wondering why David's suggestion wasn't yielding what I was looking for. @MartinSleziak - thank you for the offer, I am a bit too busy to engage properly right now, but I may get in touch with you at a later date. — Yemon Choi 14 mins ago
