Farcaster

I’d love to see posting in a channel have an advantage again.

Beneficial to the poster to grow their reach and find new audience/followers.

Beneficial to the reader to discover new people about topics they care for.

Building getinboxzero.com and sharemint.xyz.

I also run a YouTube channel, "Learn from Open Source": youtube.com/elie2222 

If the channel has a strong small "cozy corner" community — those users will visit the channel and see the content.

Unfortunate reality seems to be topic based (hashtag style) channels don't seem to do that well and it generally is uninteresting categorization of content and flooded with spam forcing rendering clients (Warpcast) to apply filters.

Clear examples: /farcaster and /warpcast channels. People post in these channels with the assumption that they reach 200K users with content that has nothing to do with the protocol or the client.

No creator is entitled to reach by default and it is a grind on any social network.

For Farcaster speicifally, what works really well over and over again for someone to increase their reach:

- Reply to other users casts with genuine interesting replies adding to the conversation.
- Post unique content unrelated to the common crypto box that you are really passionate about (cooking, home decor, classical music).

Being a member of a channel does not mean every cast to that channel appears in home feeds regardless of author.

Most users only see casts in home feed an never visit channel specific feeds (tabs or navigate).

Hence — although posting in a "popular" channel seems like it might get more eyes, reality of usage patterns is that its barely impactful for cast reach.

This is the reason team has been telling community to "just cast in home". No need to overthink which channel to tag a post. They are not hashtags.

assolutamente. would love to hear more https://warpcast.com/gt/0x7363f710
