New experiment on Warpcast Narrowcasts - Limit your casts to channel followers - Cast in niche / esoteric channels without “annoying” your audience - You can toggle between everyone and channel followers only - The composer will remember if you previously narrowcasted in a channel

FAQ 1. What happens when I narrowcast? > Normally, when you cast in a channel it goes out to all of your followers—regardless of whether they follow the channel. So if you’re a /diet-coke enthusiast, all of your followers will see your silly casts about caffeine in their home feeds, even if they prefer /coffee or Pepsi. But with narrowcasts, you can limit your casts to only followers of /diet-coke. Note: this is a Warpcast-only behavior for now. Other clients are free adopt or disregard this. 2. Are narrowcasts part of the protocol? > No. They’re an experiment. 3. How long will you run the experiment? > For a couple weeks. If it has low usage, we will likely remove. If usage looks good, we’ll work on incorporating into the protocol. 4. I want to see all casts from everyone I follow even if they narrowcast but I don’t want to follow every channel! > Try using another client like @supercast or @herocast

Another question: is there any way to tell if someone else's cast is narrow?

So is the narrowcasting now the default behavior when casting in channels? I don’t see a way to turn it on or off.

Will this be distributed by something like an A/B testing? Or will you guys be choosing who gets it by a specific criteria of your own?

Hell yea, been hoping for something like this. Question: If I don't pick a channel will only my followers see a narrow cast?

So I need to follow the channel to see what someone I follow cast, is that right? Can we have an option on our side (followers) to see everything that the people we are following cast, if we want?

This is a flat out dope update. I can ask for feet pics (excuse me— toe spacer info photographs) without all my followers knowing. Prayers have been answered 🙏

Great idea! Love it. Sometimes I post in niche channels and don't want ALL my followers to be bothered if it would only interest members of the channel. In fact, I wish BlueSky had this--or even channels at all. 😅 Everything is better here.

Can we get this functionality but in reverse? Instead of users deciding if to narrowcast or not, you can decide if you want to see the channel-specific casts (per channel) of users you follow?
