If you disable the cache for the start page perhaps consider adding cache-blocks in those places that dont need to change? That way you can retain the dynamic fetch but cache everything else?
if you enable the smart cache and says that everytime a new article (or whatever is published on the home page), you clear the cache of the home page, doesn't it work ?
Just remember that you have to put objects id, not node ids.
@Paul dynamic fetch is too heavy, but cache for 10 min is a possibility but not very elegant.

#If 'Forum folder' has object_id=56 for example then the rule above can be more hard by adding next lines:
ObjectFilter[]
ObjectFilter[]=56
looks like a solution, but there is an unique fetch in viewmode full in folder and nothing related. Does this work, too?
