Hi everyone,

I am trying to achieve a network effect within an app I am creating. Please refer to the screenshots attached for better context.

1. Every user can belong to one or multiple channels
2. The channels(s) a user belongs to determines who is connected to them.  
Connections are used to determine who users can interact with in the app.

I know I will end up with a one-to-many relation in my database in Glide, but not very clear on how to get there.

If there is already a thread that outlines thes steps to achieve this, I would appreciate the link.

Many thanks.
