Channels update

1. It was a big change, but overall I think sentiment is net positive across a good chunk of the network

2. The most common frustrations:
a. losing access to a favorite channel, esp. if you had a streak in it
b. seeing your reply "below the fold"
c. older casts in channels disappearing from personal profiles
d. many channels not having clear instructions for joining

So what we're doing this week

3. Continue to talk to users (mostly me) and pay attention to feedback

4. We're considering some tweaks to how above / below the fold works for non-members, esp. if the original caster is following someone. We won't make any sudden changes here, fwiw

5. Strongly considering adding back older casts in channels to profiles (with a label on the cast). The data is untouched at the protocol level, just hidden on Warpcast right now.

6. Continue to get feedback from channel owners / mods / users / developers on making request to join a channel a primitive similar to invites. Again, no sudden changes.

we're positive and building towards the new changes around channels. thanks to everyone who tried Cura over the weekend. we got great feedback from channel mods, devs and users. 

today, we want Cura to help you onboard relevant members for your channel with ease, without spam. to grow channels, Cura should help you identify those who're engaging with your channel but not members yet. 

Once your channel membership is in autopilot mode, we want Cura to help you identify and curate quality users and content within your channel. you can leverage insights, leaderboards, referrals, incentives based on everything Cura offers. 
 

here's what we prioritized based on the feedback we got in the last 48 hrs.
- send me a DM if Cura doesn't work for your channel
- drop any other pain points or feature requests below

Looking forward to testing some of the Automated features!
