Channel update summary

Since this cast yesterday, we've already:
1. Brought older channel casts back to user profiles
2. Added a dedicated channels tab in notifications to everyone
3. Proposed an iteration for how replies work to be more inclusive

Still on our radar:
4. Make it easier for people to request to join a channel, leveraging the growing set of tools built by developers; channel owners can decide how they want to do it
5. Make it easier to invite people to your channel from a reply / DC / profile
6. What to do with abandoned channels

What are we missing?

Also worth pointing out that the next "big" project is onboarding directly to a channel.

Rough idea: you can invite someone to Farcaster and when they sign up, they immediately join your channel(s) and their initial home feed is weighted toward your channels and people you interact with a lot. 

Should help solve having a group of people to interact with on Day 1 without worrying about not having access to channels and/or spam labeling.

personal feedback:  i usually select a channel when i write a cast. it pisses me off when i can't select it, i don't go to the channel page => search for host or link => message a person. also once you've done it you need to wait a few min and update the page so it actually lets you cast. 

i'm really struggling with these new channels update and it made my experience so much worse

but I know that it exists, or what’s the expected behavior here?

It also shouldn’t appear in your channel list if you aren’t a member.

Data

Warpcast

Farcaster

Travel

today’s case: 
/data
/warpcast 
/farcaster 

use case for all 3 channels is the same - I needed support.

it was /travel yesterday, there’s a join link in the header but I’ve lost a few minutes of my life doing the loop of looking for a channel => looking for the link => clicking the link => updating the app => writing cast again

What channels are you casting in that you haven’t casted in the last 90 days?
