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

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.
