i always be forgetting to view posts in the channel feed, i'm like 98% home feed

channels feel much more like tags rather than communities, is it just me?

building reel.farm and farcasterstudio.com

Could see clients choosing either model but I’m bearish on channels as tags.

Tags are dead technology. Most modern platforms ignore them and tag with machine learning anyway.

Channels being communities solves a lot of onboarding and content issues. Let’s people with niche knowledge find a home and offer valuable immediately. It’s more healthy engagement.

My opinion is channels now are too transient and ephemeral. They could be destinations where you build a reputation, collectively create a knowledge base and have more to do than see the last 10 casts.

o interesting, would you say channels are more like tags? rather than like a subreddit/discord community

very few people click through to channels

Been on the tag train forever. For some reason people are in denial but it’s true

wowow had a literal shower thought the other day that channels felt more like tags

if you wanna find the hidden gems of good content and casters, go to channels, not home

I have certain channels I click through all the time.

Maybe channels needs more ways to express sub culture

In Reddit certain communities thrive and it becomes an obsessive place for people.

I think music in farcaster has become somewhat that, if there’s a way for that channel to express their subculture more it’ll help fan the flames

I wanted to post this into /coffee and /music, and it made me wonder:

Has there been any consideration to make the parentUrl property an array so you can post into multiple channels at once? Could turn channels into tags in a way 👀

I am like the opposite. always scrolling in channels and rarely finish my home feed...

Home feed is the community. It’s happening now. Channels are the library. They’re about deeper, more focused content.

I spend most of my time in home feed but I find the most valuable and interesting content when I intentionally go to a channel. Channels map well to my current interests/rabbit holes. So there might be periods of time where I’ll be obsessively checking a channel for content.

True/False curation makes em kinda shitty

Need some kind of tiered curation mechanics

maybe it's just the way they're structured?

Memers 😂don't forget to click on the respective channel.

i am too on my home feed mostly. but it shows the channels i follow too a bit. but i go on specific ones all the time
