Is warpcast channels meant to be like reddit where people post in carious places within the site?

Not really sure tbh. Been reflecting on what’s best for /cryptoleft - I almost think a giant group chat is almost more valuable

I’m not sure if that was the intention. It’s kinda turned out like that but I think channels have been tricky so they continue to tweak

it’s hard to say, they don’t extra propagate your posts like they used to do. you can have your own club, but personally mostly not directly checking channels I have the feeling they might actually want to get rid of them, but well, they’re paid for so they can’t just take them away lol but good to know: “Channels are being prototyped in Warpcast and not fully supported by the Farcaster protocol. They may be ported to the protocol in the future if the feature is deemed successful or they may be removed entirely.”

They were like hashtags where if you followed the channel you saw the posts in your feed. This was changed and now they’re kind of useless. The idea, as I understand it, is they want them to be like Twitters “communities” where the posts are public but can only be seen in your feed by following the person; otherwise needing to go to the channel or profile of the person who posted. I don’t see it working tbh. I think hashtags are unfortunately just a better system and if they’d built a maximum number (between 1-3), stylized them outside the main text of the post, and allowed people to follow tags, it would be far more impressive. Calling them channels though gives them something to sell.
