We’ve been rooting for channels since day 1 On Channels Day (7th June), we’ll celebrate folks who make channels great - mods and users who show up in channels everyday. we’ll pick the 100 most active channels and drop a Channels Day NFT to the top 50 users on each of these channel leaderboards. you can check your rank and share directly from the channel app. https://cura.network/memes/leaderboard?leaderboardType=lifetime

great post by @patriciaxlee.eth most new people who come to farcaster are trying to find their tribe, people they relate with, communities they can join or be part of. channels have the potential to enable exactly this. we just have to make this dead simple - simplify channel discovery, membership, make it easy to manage and grow channels (notifications, leaderboards, manage spam), and let anyone find/post in channels across any app on farcaster.

legos for channels are starting to work. build/manage your channel-> identify top contributors->rewards all of this seamlessly in few seconds. few channels have started to experiment with revenue via subscriptions, which can go back to fund community rewards.

wrapped up a great call with some channel mods/owners talked about possible roadmap for channels, what's missing, magic moments. some common threads: - channels want more ways to drive engagement and growth, not just distribution. - discovery is important across apps, but so is having direct access to your community. - folks run different types of channels, so flexibility matters across feeds, onboarding and moderation. - the idea of owning your front page for your channel without relying on one app is powerful. thanks to those who still show up for channels!

yes! each farcaster channel can have its own subscription revenue, which can also be used to fund rewards to channel leaderboards. this is how channels can be like subreddits, but with their own business model.

there's a natural polarization in how people view/feel about channels. there's nothing wrong with all the iterations that went into channels. i just think that building a follower graph or distribution (like X or FC app) is different than building a community around a topic/interest that demands moderation, curation, etc. sure everyone wants distribution, but when you're building a community, distribution is downstream of *actually* building a great community. the big unlock of farcaster protocol can/should be, taking your identity and graph to different apps, where you can easily read/write into a context or form factor (reddit, twitter, tiktok). I think we have a rare chance of making this happen if we open our mindset about channels as a primitive vs. view them in just their current implementation on the farcaster app.
