# Channels

Public Discovery at Scale: discover great channels, follow updates efficiently, and reduce “channel spam” in your daily reading.

Channels is Conso’s public discovery layer on top of Telegram channels. It’s designed to help you find high-quality content, keep up in time order, and turn “following” into a single, readable timeline.

<mark style="background-color:$primary;">**Typical use cases**</mark>

* You want to discover channels beyond what you already follow.
* You follow many channels and want one place to catch up instead of switching chats.
* You want a Web3-focused content line that stays chronological and scannable.

<mark style="background-color:$primary;">**What you get**</mark>

* A browsing layout optimized for continuous reading (less friction, fewer interruptions).
* A Web3 Picks line in time order, built for “catch-up” reading.
* A Follow Timeline that aggregates your followed channels into one scroll, reducing repeated appearances that feel like spam.

<mark style="background-color:$primary;">**Key parts**</mark>

* Explore — public discovery and browsing
* Web3 — curated Web3 content delivered chronologically
* Follow Timeline — aggregated timeline for channels you follow

#### How it works

<mark style="background-color:$primary;">**Explore: discovery that learns “what’s worth it”**</mark>

Explore is built for finding good channels and good posts *before* you follow them. In practice, it typically relies on:

* Channel metadata (e.g., category/tagging) to understand content domains
* Reading behavior signals (what you open, what you skip, what you finish) to shape what appears next

  The goal is not “infinite random content”, but a repeatable browsing path that gets better as you use it.

<mark style="background-color:$primary;">**Web3: curated, chronological, and token-aware**</mark>

Web3 is intentionally a time-ordered line so you can scan updates quickly. When posts mention token tickers, Conso can surface that mention as a shortcut to market context (so “reading → checking prices” becomes one flow).

<mark style="background-color:$primary;">**Follow Timeline: less switching, less repetition**</mark>

Telegram channels often post in bursts. Follow Timeline is designed to:

* merge followed channels into one continuous timeline
* improve perceived “signal density” by making catch-up smoother and reducing the feeling of one channel dominating your feed
