I've been here near a month and a half now and I too find the interface slightly frustrating. Even with only 70 odd followed I still miss things I'd like to read, often until it's been up  for 4-5 days. It doesn't help that the notifications seem broke at the moment, notifications come for feed updates but not for comments/replies. That being said I have no idea what the answers are, maybe more sensible sorting as you've suggested or perhaps an easier to access list of followers which shows how many posts they've posted since you last visited the list. Great post either way :)

I think there are decent workarounds but it is still quite time consuming and error prone for me to keep up with everything. 

I wasn't aware notifications were "broke" or working any differently, I guess that would be a big deal though. 

I was thinking the same thing with the followers/following tracking unread posts/time visited, problem is as far as I'm aware none of that type of data is tracked.

When I first started here - just in June this year - you would get notifications for comments  people had made. Chrome also had popup notifications for when people commented. No idea how it works I admit but I'd like to see it fixed then leveraged so you can get notifications for when people you follow post things. Then I wouldn't miss as much :)
