channel

Channels will make a comeback one day once Farcaster scales 10x or more. I think people will yearn for more cozy corners around specific topics, themes, communities, etc

Today, Farcaster can often feel like one big Discord or Slack

New users are excited about channels so I do think there’s a situation where they could be used to spur growth around specific topics or communtities but moderation is hard and I dont tbink channel hosts will invest time and energy given that channels arent a priority and the future of them is unclear  

One idea that I would like to expeirment with as a channel host is the ability to toggle narrowcasting is the channel default where casts in the channel do not show up in the main feed unless the user explicitly checks a box when drafting the cast 

I think this could foster better conversations around specific topics while not gumming up the main feed 

Given that we all want more content and more interesting people on Farcaster, it may be too early for this experiment

If you’ve read this far, let me know your favorite channel!
