Currently a channel works like a public forum. There are plans to add additional privacy control and settings in the future, but for now you can think of it as similar to creating a public forum or a subreddit.
This means the channel description should be very clear about what kind of people you want to attract, and you may need to invite some seed members to start the community as well as some community building.
I think the key thing to realize is that this is not your private space where only you post, but a place to bring together people with similar interest.
