How do channels increase distribution for a cast?

If you cast in a channel, you have the chance—based on how much engagement the cast gets—to have the cast get recommended to people who don't follow you.

Not feeling a channel? Just cast! It goes to your followers.

For channels created external to WC, are there any plans to stop showing casts that were posted into those channels? 'Replying to external content' doesn't preserve the Context Container of those channels. The ux isn't great for WC and that negatively impacts users & the ecosystem.

Do they appear in the feed? I thought they only appear on the Casts + Replies tab on profiles (so basically invisible)

also channels are migrating away from just fip-2

What do you mean by migrating away from FIP-2? Will it not break existing parent_url mechanism?

Thank you, KMac. Sounds like protocol-level channels. Where did you learn about it?

There's a new development from merklem that has plans to be worked into a new FIP that updates/replaces/is alt to FIP-2 channels. Not sure of the details but expecting some features move into protocol eg oboosts, moderation, metadata that type of thing. I'd imagine it's better & rides along side FIP-2 but 🤷‍♂️
