Looking for channel owners that spend at least 5 hours a week on growing and managing their channels. I had a group of people like this last fall, but a bunch of those people no longer seem to be actively working on their channel. Want to find the people that are *currently* committed to channels. Please reply here if that’s you.

i no longer create new channels or moderate any of my channels, i even rarely look into them i only post to channels as opposed to my home feed because i think it still gives visibility boost? without the algo boost i'd only post to my home feed

You are saying channels give no visibility boost? Shouldn't following a channel funnel casts from followed channels into the home or following feed? That counts as more visibility in my book. Otherwise it should be called "favorite" not "follow"?

Zero boost. Has been that way for a long time.

Not even a boost to people who follow that specific channel? I always thought that posting in a channel would boost the cast to the users feed who follow that channel

Thought same, what’s the point of a channel then?

There isn't much of a point without this imo it's more just social signaling or tagging around a topic/interest/theme of that channel

Is filtering useful if the content isn’t the best? Need honey to catch bees

It's a good question, but also 'the best' probably isn't the necessary objective for most community spaces, more like.. on topic and of value 😉 Maybe more useful to consider signal vs noise ratios

Yep, the best can be a local minimum instead of global best. However, if someone surfaces niche content you can expect the algo won’t individually pick up their content unless it’s tuned to serve to the members of the group. The members chose to follow for the content, not just be members.
