No Channel Channel.

I still haven’t figured out channels.  I need to just create my own and make it easy lol

Channel changes have significantly change the « FC game » we’re all playing.  Let’s talk abt it

Old meta: cast in channels for distribution 

New meta: cast in channels for connection

The reasons for casting in channels has changed. Casting in channels is friction - you have to select the channel rather than YOLOing your post to your followers.  The new changes add MORE friction (must be a member) while reducing algo boost.

We will likely have far fewer casts in channels but hopefully those casts will get engagement from people who actually care about the topic.  “Connection” isn’t easily measurable, but the idea is that you will more satisfied posting into a channel because the quality of discourse will be higher.

I think I’ve come to realise that Channels are communities not distribution channels.

No one knows cause they keep changing them

Channels give no distribution boost 

Cast into home feed or channels for the same result

However some channels host contests like /itookaphoto which you need to be able to cast into a channel to participate
