Systems and methods for digital channel transitions

A system comprising:

• a display module, stored in memory, that:
• provides, to a user of a social media application, a consumption interface that displays a scrollable stream of social media posts from a plurality of different channels, wherein (1) each channel is dedicated to social media posts from a designated source, (2) social media posts are linearly displayed within the stream one after another, (3) each social media post created by a particular channel is displayed within the stream prior to the display of any social media post from another channel, (4) for the social media posts of each channel, the consumption interface automatically scrolls, at a predetermined speed, from displaying one social media post created by the channel to the next social media post created by the channel, and (5) the consumption interface automatically transitions from displaying the social media posts created by one channel to the social media posts created by the next channel;
• displays, within the consumption interface, a series of social media posts from a first channel, automatically scrolling from displaying one social media post within the series to a next social media post within the series at the predetermined speed;
• and
• once a final social media post from the series has been displayed, automatically transitioning to displaying an additional series of social media posts from a second channel in queue to be displayed immediately following the series of social media posts from the first channel by:
• signaling a transition from displaying the series of social media posts from the first channel to displaying the additional series of social media posts from the second channel by automatically scrolling, from displaying the final social media post from the series to displaying a first social media post from the additional series, at a speed that is decreased relative to the predetermined speed;
• and
• scrolling, at the predetermined speed, from displaying the first social media post within the additional series to a second social media post within the additional series;
• and
• at least one physical processor configured to execute the display module.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• provide, to a user of a social media application, a consumption interface that displays a scrollable stream of social media posts from a plurality of different channels, wherein (1) each channel is dedicated to social media posts from a designated source, (2) social media posts are linearly displayed within the stream one after another, (3) each social media post created by a particular channel is displayed within the stream prior to the display of any social media post from another channel, (4) for the social media posts of each channel, the consumption interface automatically scrolls, at a predetermined speed, from displaying one social media post created by the channel to the next social media post created by the channel, and (5) the consumption interface automatically transitions from displaying the social media posts created by one channel to the social media posts created by the next channel;
• display, within the consumption interface, a series of social media posts from a first channel, automatically scrolling from displaying one social media post within the series to the next social media post within the series at the predetermined speed;
• and
• once a final social media post from the series has been displayed, automatically transition to displaying an additional series of social media posts from a second channel in queue to be displayed immediately following the series of social media posts from the first channel by:
• signaling a transition from displaying the series of social media posts from the first channel to displaying the additional series of social media posts from the second channel by automatically scrolling, from displaying the final social media post from the series to displaying a first social media post from the additional series, at a speed that is decreased relative to the predetermined speed;
• and
• scrolling, at the predetermined speed, from displaying the first social media post within the additional series to a second social media post within the additional series.
