Not in the sidebar, but, you could switch your homepage feed to All communities and sort by either active or hot to get the same effect. That's where they would pull their posts from in this case anyways.

How extending reading time benefits the user?
In fact I'm not sure, but maybe this will allow the users discover more. for me, nice titles attract me, i like to jump from post to another with this.
Although more engagement with a product is taught to be a good thing on itself (especially from marketing pov) it does not necessarily translate into quality of life for a user.
Why have a trending sidebar when you can just look at the front page?
