Have you ever used tools like Seesmic or Tweetdeck? Well, I have, and it was a very useful way to really follow and interact with content. I've been missing them. Now that there's a vibeshift on Farcaster, and new users/artists are arriving again, I was looking for a way to keep them in my feed, because I believe early recognition and interaction will help them stay. Just some likes and replies, maybe some tips and tricks here and there. Those kind of things. Will also help them with increasing their neynar score, which will make their experience even better. But that is difficult. As I'm not fully understanding the algo on Farcaster, I'm affraid I will miss things. So, I wanted to create what was known on Twitter as a list. It was not really obvious to me how I could do that here, so I asked @viniapp to build me a Vini App. If you want to have a rudimentary tweetdeck-like experience on Farcaster, give CastrBoard a go. Feedback welcome https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/fhJcbNWWhW6R/castrboard

When I originally made my channels, it said I would have to pay to renew them and I was okay with that. But that day never came and we’ve been able to keep channels indefinitely. If I had to pay again, I probably wouldn’t renew most of them and would strongly debate why I would renew any. I used to use channels to organize content. It made some things easy to find when search was unusable. Now I’ve come to terms with the fact that casts are ephemeral. I was trying to work around system limits using channels. I used to use them because people scrolled them and I kept them curated so they looked nice. The main Farcaster client stopped highlighting channels and made them more difficult to scroll so most people stopped checking them. As soon as I lost the purple dot notifications that there were new posts, even I forgot to check most of them. I’ve seen a handful of communities continue to thrive after the channels overhaul, but I’ve lost most of the tools I used to use because developers moved on or pivoted or sunsetted the products. Channels went into zombie mode, the network changed, and now we all feel stuck. The channel membership models were designed to combat spam. If your channel had spam, it was your fault. Most of us locked them down because we had no choice. We had no moderation tools built into the client and had to rely on third party solutions. Now, spam is much much better. Spammers don’t target channels as much. Maybe we don’t really need that model at all anymore. Are there exceptions? Sure. Channel gates can be very useful for some communities, but do 99% of channels need them now? Probably not.

Be sure to add your thoughts on channels! Forget about the trauma of the past and the old rules and constraints. New team, new attitude, new experiments. What could they be? Do they serve a purpose anymore? What would make them amazing? What would constrain them? Brainstorm. Be loud. The team is asking for feedback.

Make Tagging Great Again (in replies) Tagging people excessively and tagging folks who never responded to you were huge red flags for the old Farcaster spam label system (we hypothesized). As that system fades out and transitions to Neynar score, I believe we should no longer be afraid to tag, especially in replies! I love being brought into a conversation. I still feel like I miss things and I would rather see something twice than miss something relevant. I think if everyone committed to one tag a day and trying to genuinely bring someone into a conversation, it could make everyone’s experience more meaningful. Anyone else up for the challenge?
