I think of a channel as something inbetween a read-only announcement page and a curated discussion from highly engaged community members.

It's not meant to be as busy as a Telegram chat - but also not meant to be *only* major announcements.

They should let you find key posts, key contributors and key convos.

There is a bot somewhere that converts channel ama’s into web pages

More of this kind of thing

telegram announcement channels have a pretty good ux for this

announcement post -> discussion chat for each announcement post

some of the alternative reddit-style clients probably would do this if/when channels are a protocol feature
