Seems to be a way of making Bluesky style feeds with Mastodon-style services, well that’s what I gather from reading the FAQ. They don’t actually explain what this is anywhere.

Yea I’m thoroughly confused, what even is this? Is it open source, code anywhere?
It is open source, though the section in the FAQ just links to github.com, but I found the actual source code: https://github.com/patchwork-hub/channels. Seems to be a Mastodon fork, which becomes even more apparent when you actually look at a channel: https://channel.org/@feelgoodart
From what I can gather, this is a way of having an account boost content from certain creators or hashtags with some filters applied on top, honestly pretty cool but I wish they explained it better than ‘connecting the open social web’. Like the page explaining it has a terminal case of marketing speak.
Yea okay… Not sure what the point is of not just explaining it clearly 🤔
