## Content

There was a time when we resisted the order channels would bring to Farcaster. Our benevolent dictator pushed ahead and forced our hand with the AlgoCore. Now channels flourish, but most die undiscovered while very big channels get flooded with low quality or outright spam as casters seek reach to the masses. Channel hosts across the ecosystem experiment with creating the right mix of moderation, gamification, and laissez-faire to create the sub-communities they envisioned. This talk will consolidate insights on what happens inside channels and how it forms communities. Expect data (and network pictures!) At the end, we are all hopefully a bit wiser on how to use channels when we cast, and how to moderate channels to grow our sub-communities and the ecosystem.
