What it says on the tin. Many forums of similar style, not limited to just roleplay, have some sort of option that allow members to see unread threads or new posts. We currently have an option that notifies us on the dashboard for new messages in threads we're subscribed to, but I think it'd be nice if there was a section where you could see new posts from the entire forum.
Naturally keep Just Talkin to an exception to this rule, since it's pretty much RPR chatroom.
I searched for similar suggestions and this thread is what looks somewhat similar to what I'm proposing, but to clarify, I'm thinking of a section, like the Your Posts tab, for example, that instead lists new posts from the entire forum.
Edit: Replaced 'topics' by 'posts' in the title, since topic and thread literally means the same thing lmao.

Seconded!
Similar to our own personal notifications feed, an overview of "here's what people wrote while you slept" is my equivalent to opening the newspaper in the morning. It's also a good way to find public RPs to read along with!
I think I'll lobby for either of these two options:
I'd prefer it if such a feed were either "X most recently active topics/posts" or "topics/posts in the past X hours" (24, 48?), such that people returning after a long absence don't run into a wall of text, but are met with more of a teaser of what's been going on since they last visited.

I think I'll lobby for either of these two options:
(a) Only show topics that have recently been replied to. In case someone's up rapidfire posting with their partner, or a general RP or forum game is really busy - so that few, very active topics don't risk dominating everything else in this feed.
(b) Show both recent topics and posts, but in side by side columns. Same reasoning as above, except now with a preview of recent posts as well.
