Broadcast channels
Who this is for: admins publishing one-to-many updates (noticeboard / creator feed), not free-for-all group chat.
Privacy mode: Shared.
What it is
Admin-composed posts to followers. Followers engage as allowed (for example reactions); they do not post freely like community text channels.
How to use
- Create a broadcast channel (free: 1 active; Premium: 200).
- Choose Public ON (discovery) or OFF (share/follow path only).
- Publish posts as an admin; followers receive updates.
- Expect posts to age out after about 30 days.
Posts can include supported text/media, voice, and polls as exposed by the compose screen.
