why don’t people form small groups (3-5) around an interest, create a channel, and cast/reply to each other? it could: 1. amplify reach (shared audiences) 2. create richer, more dynamic discussions (shared effort) 3. build deeper connections maybe it feels like extra work or it’s hard to find each other?

instead of person A, B + C casting about topic Y in their own siloes (which happens), it’d be better — for them and for the network — if A, B, C casted in one place and engaged w/ each other. Bluesky, TikTok algo etc. make it easy to discover discussions on specific topics. hard here, so topics don’t grow.

feels like this is a groupchat. 3-5 people in one groupchat works best as UI. You aren't guaranteed to see the messages in an algo feed and going to channel is extra effort vs opening the groupchat in your usual message app

Because none of my friends are going to pay $5 to use Twitter but with only 1000 people. The issue is onboarding. People just say nah. This is the real issue. There is no incentive to get normal people on here. Until they subsidize growth and attack churn like a SaaS would then it’s just gonna be the same 1000 people casting at each other everyday like it is now.

I think because this type of conversation/group works better in group chats. Needs some privacy to create connections.

This is just how channels are now right? You can’t join them and everyone who was already in them just posts without you being able to add to the convo.

Maybe we need a "Make a channel from discussion thread" button that invites everyone in the thread and maybe seeds the initial conversation. Not sure if lots of tiny channels is best but worth a try.

With FC as is, a group like this could have appeared organically. Why didn’t it? I think it’s because it’s hard to keep 3-5 people engaged in this kind of discussion, especially with current FC UI. You need to have someone driving this kind of effort, and even when you do it’s not easy because the feed might not surface/remind people to reply.

I will say I've searched on Farcaster to see if there's a channel for something (Blueprint) and, not finding anything, decided not to cast about it because I doubted I'd get any interesting responses. Is it easy to create a channel these days?

this sounds like the public/private clubhouse-like group chat @erik and I think @dwr.eth discussed at one point why wouldn't they just create a group chat for it instead?

Doesn’t this naturally happen anyway where people form collectives, orgs, etc and start posting under that umbrella and themselves?
