Under the graphic of Trump, in the left center of the page, you'll see 'trending now', 'greatest threads' and 'the left column'.

Trending now and Greatest threads are presumably chosen by the software, simply based on statistics. 'The Left Column' appears to be stories chosen to highlight on the front page by staff. Doesn't matter as much for regular site users, who probably read the site more from latest threads, their subscriptions and so on, but for casual visitors, the homepage is where they land, and where they're most likely to 'get a feel for' the site.
