Feels like there needs to be an easy way to send a request for becoming a channel member?

Why can't I request to join a channel?

See the points from the FAQ below, but basically we wanted to avoid creating yet another inbox for owners. Additionally, owners may not want to have people requesting to join. Your channel, your rules.

Additional thoughts 

1. Channels are not hashtags. We tried that version for the last year or so. Didn't work. With the new direction, they are communities run by individuals or small groups. They are opinionated. We think that's a good thing.

2. One way to think of channels now is they are text-based Twitter Spaces—some people on stage, but a large audience.

3. Reminder: you can always cast in your home feed (goes to all of your followers) or create a new channel.

4. There are already a bunch of tools like Cura from @openrank, /channel-kit from @zachterrell, or @modbot from @haole to let channel owners opt in to have request to join flows. Or token gate with @moxie.eth or @hypersub.

5. We added a link in bio that works with frames to help make this easy.
