When I cast in a channel, who sees the casts?
- All casts in channels are public; anyone viewing the channel will see your cast
- Casts in a channel will automatically appear in your followers Home feeds if:
- They follow the channel and follow you
- Recasting a cast in a channel will appear in your followers Home feed like a normal recast—even if they don’t follow the channel
Example 1
Alice is following Bob and they both follow the Books channel. Charlie is following Bob but does not follow the Books channels (Charlie does not enjoy books). Bob casts a book recommendation in the Books channel, that cast will appear in Alice’s Home feed but not Charlie’s feed.
