This model just requires scale; eventually, I do believe it will be viable here on FC. Topically, it requires good ownership, attentive moderation, and abundant user-generated-content (i.e. the option for users to self-approve membership -> post).

Doesn't the onboarding process depend heavily on channels? Which users should the new comer follow based on their interest?

For owners and moderators: Community building/maintenance is fun, profit through promotions/donation, a sense of purpose from building something bigger than yourself For members: Community badges in exchange for activity/actions, feedback/knowledge xfer, a sense of community Why did people build/maintain online forums back in the day? And why has that behavior tracked through to Reddit, Discord, and other platforms? In my mind when I ask myself these questions, the answers are similar for “Why would people want to put in the work for channels, however large or small?” And I have asked myself this.

the same as an open source maintainer or subreddit mod, I imagine?

A more important question: what’s the incentive to generate content as a *user? Inclusiveness and being part of a community is only one aspect. I’m seeing people leave because even if they participate and interact with a friend who has posted in a channel, their interaction is not shown. if your community, or friendship circle, interacts with a post, unless they are a member of that channel, the interaction is not shown: ie visual (shown to everyone) and thus shown stats do not reflect actual interactions. People live in community bubbles outside of channel bubbles. Social media is the era of being seen, and ‘likes”….that’s why so many platforms do it, and now people are accustomed: it’s a major incentive for participation.
