PSA Clearing up a few misconceptions 1. Casting in your home feed gives you the same distribution as casting in a channel. 2. Everyone can read and reply to casts in channels 3. Most people will appear above the fold with a reply. 4. We changed the way channels work to shift them from hashtags to communities. 5. If you’re annoyed by the changes, just cast in your home feed. You’re not missing out on distribution or discovery casting in a channel.

> 4. We changed the way channels work to shift them from hashtags to communities. Ah! Now I get it. I think a better approach would be: - restore channels to how they used to be - add a new concept "communities". Let the 2 things co-exist and compete in nature and then kill the weaker one. Communities are totally different than channels. I don't think there's any fixing that. Just create a separate concept and restore channels

> - restore channels to how they used to be They weren't working. Why would we revert to a previous concept. Letting a non-working product creates confusion. What was working for you about the old channel model?

What do you mean they weren't working? I was posting relevant content to relevant channels and getting relevant replies. I was visiting channels and seeing content to the channel name. From a user perspective it was simple and it was getting better.

> I was posting relevant content to relevant channels and getting relevant replies. That's strictly from people following you. We were surfacing that content to people in the channel that don't follow you. We have the data where people were seeing that cast and replying to it. Very few people visited channel pages. Feedback was they were uninteresting and in many cases spammy. Seems like you were an outlier in liking the old model.
