I can cast to zero channels now. The new default “invite only” behaviour is not a good way to build a social network, imho. If I am locked out of “where the discussion is happening,” then I imagine *many* more users will be too. The app becomes dead on arrival for 99% of us.

To be fair, your last cast to main was five months ago and the change was heavily weighted towards recent activity because there needed to be some cutoff. You can still just cast to main about whatever you want. If you do that, your ideas will naturally find their way into communities that want to discuss them with you.

Maybe I’m misunderstand channels; but if I (or let’s imagine somebody who just started on FC and has no followers) post in main, there doesn’t seem any path for my cast to find its way into the gen-art channel, unless somebody quotes it? It seems to lock out a lot of people.

This is the way. The previous algo pushing people to cast in channels was a bad paradigm. The app was too heavily weighted toward channel usage and new users were not going to figure that out. Now the app works more like a social network should.

Casting to main has historically not been a way to be seen. When I first came here, casting to channels was always encouraged.
