PSA about the new version of channels

1. They're no longer single topics / hashtags. We tried hashtags for a year and they didn't work. There's no canonical /food channel anymore. Instead, there will be many smaller groups about a topic.

2. The best way to think about the new version of channels — a text-based Twitter Space. There's a group of people (members) "on stage" who can post new stuff in the channel, and a larger group in the "audience". However, anyone in the audience can reply and get discovered / invited to the channel. We've improved how replies work (and making it easy to invite from replies) in the last 24 hours.

3. Casting in your home feed, i.e. no channel, will give you just as much distribution in the algo. We have not been boosting casts from channels you follow but people you don't follow for a while. The results were too inconsistent.

4. Our next big focus will be onboarding new users directly to channels when joining Farcaster.

i know it's probably too soon to tell but how things looking so far? i like the changes for the most part. yall have the green light to begin decentralizing channels yet?

Going well so far. A lot more work to do before decentralization.
