I think channels have evolved into different things, and it will be hard to try and find one fitting alternative for them. Part of the channels (food, travel, art, degen, farcaster) have the effect of hashtags. You can find posts on a topic there, and maybe using hashtags (or other forms of keyword searches) is a better solution for that use. Other channels (/poetry , /f1, /live-the-same, /los-fomos, /farcasterunion are more communities or cozy corners. They have a different function. /firefits is another example. These channels are destinations. I might not visit the channel pages immediately, but I have a feeling (and expect that) posts in these channels show up in my home feed. Even though I was sceptical of channels at first, because I did not know how to use them, I came to love the channels that are cozy corners and communities. They serve a purpose.
Maybe you can find a way forward in separating the usage along these lines? I think it's adjacent to what @nounishprof already wrote. 0 reply
