Looking for people who are frustrated with the changes and new direction for channels. Last week, we got a lot of good feedback from people happy with / excited about the changes. See below. Now I want to highlight what's still not working for people. Specifically: 1. What's frustrating? 2. What would make it better? https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0xcf622e07

The main thing that I find myself looking for is the way to become a member. From my experience there are lots of different ways (gated, not possible, free to enter etc.) but it's actually not clear if and how I can join. Some channels have it as a link, some others as a pinned cast but there is no clear and standardized path.

Do you have a few examples of channels where this is unclear?

I didn’t know it was clear in any channel. Is there a join channel button I missed?

So there’s one person that controls the ai channel on Farcaster 🤔 I’m not a decentralisation maxi but this strikes me as strange for the sufficiently decentralised social media app

It’s not a canonical topic or hashtag. We tried that for a year. Did not work. There’s /theai You can cast in your home feed to all of your followers. You can create a competing channel. The goal is communities, not generic topics that no one cares about.

As a user it felt like it worked. Obviously you have deeper insight there. But the current iteration feels more like “does not work” to me. Going further with improvements: Add a request to join button. I don’t understand how the ux is better if you need to dm someone. Or having every channel pin a tweet saying to reply / dm

Also from a user perspective I don’t want to build up a new community just to post about ai.

Then just cast in your timeline. All of your followers see it. Casting in a channel gives you no addition benefit.

Previously the benefit of casting in a channel would expose you to new users. People that follow that channel but don’t follow you can also see it. That was the major benefit of channels to me.
