PSA about the new version of channels 1. They're no longer single topics / hashtags. We tried hashtags for a year and they didn't work. There's no canonical /food channel anymore. Instead, there will be many smaller groups about a topic. 2. The best way to think about the new version of channels — a text-based Twitter Space. There's a group of people (members) "on stage" who can post new stuff in the channel, and a larger group in the "audience". However, anyone in the audience can reply and get discovered / invited to the channel. We've improved how replies work (and making it easy to invite from replies) in the last 24 hours. 3. Casting in your home feed, i.e. no channel, will give you just as much distribution in the algo. We have not been boosting casts from channels you follow but people you don't follow for a while. The results were too inconsistent. 4. Our next big focus will be onboarding new users directly to channels when joining Farcaster.

Does the algo favor text over images and frames?

It favors what you are likely to engage with. Each person is different.

Thank you. I dissent realize it was this personal. If we clear our everyone we follow and start over, do we reset our own algorithm too?

Feels like this is the right approach. Will give me something to do on the 15 hour plane ride.

the bulk unfollow is fast. recommend approaching your follows organically. use the opportunity to transform your feed and resist following some users out of obligation or social nicety. the added benefit is, if enough impactful users unfollow spammy users, their FarScore's will fall (afaik). That has other nice benefits.

I played with the tool to remove inactive accounts but ran into a lot of bugs. Maybe it’s time to resubscribe and pull of the Bandaid.
