I remember when reddit had to implement something similar leading up to the 2016 election, because the entire front page was spam from "the donald* or a few vocal left-wing subs, and it was putting everyone off.
The solution was pretty much what you described.
Even a limit of posts per community would be great. 2-3 from each community max in the first 100 would even be awesome. It would also force a lot of lesser known communities into peoples top posts and help growth in them.
I agree. The turnover of the front page already seems configured to be rapid, so during the less active times of the day, this problem with flooding happens more.
