Farcaster

Nature

still feeling weird about how channels work on farcaster.
a few things that make it frustrating:

· memberships lock exploration: instead of encouraging me to explore new channels, the membership system made me stick to the ones i'm already in.
· managing pinned frames is annoying: i need to keep the frame pinned in /groupies so people can join, meaning i can't pin other casts to the channel for visibility.
· notifications are easy to miss: i never check the channel notifications tab, a friend had to message me to finally see and accept their invite.
· posting friction: tried posting in /nature yesterday but wasn't able to since i wasn't a member — the process of going to the channel, finding how to join, then coming back to write the cast again is too much, so it's easier to cast no-channel instead.

am i doing something wrong here, or is this a shared experience?
i miss the old farcaster, where i could just explore and post freely in different channels.

Nope, I hate it too. Waaaaay to much friction, can't believe they thought this structure was good. 

I don't even bother with channels anymore because of it. Tried to post in /base months ago, saw the membership block and never returned.
