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.

Does the algo favor text over images and frames?

It favors what you are likely to engage with. Each person is different.

Thank you. I dissent realize it was this personal. If we clear our everyone we follow and start over, do we reset our own algorithm too?

We don't have a way to reset, but it's based on what you like and reply to in your feed.

Thanks for the intel. I'll try with the hard reset myself by starting over.
