Virtually all of the people on Farcaster with large audiences: 1. Don't have large audiences elsewhere (Farcaster is their first time with a large audience) 2. Didn't know me or Varun and didn't know each other. The "Farcaster OG scene" is net new creation of Farcaster. 3. Were early and stuck around when everyone made fun of Farcaster (and people still do) 4. Continued to cast interesting stuff, casted in channels when we suggested people cast in channels 5. Warpcast onboarding asks all users for their interests 6. Based on the interests, we pair the account with an initial set of follows 7. There are 200+ accounts on the list, weighted toward accounts that get the most engagement / drive retention, but a large group of people benefit 8. On our list to improve, but the reality is outside of "I should be on the list!" haven't seen any concrete proposals to improve

I very much recognize myself in 1–4. Never really used Twitter, don’t live in SF or NYC, am not a founder nor a dev, I don’t hang out with Dan nor Varun. Just got in early-ish and stuck around, casting consistently about what I like. It’s worked out well and I’m grateful for it

i guess i don’t see the value in spending time sharing my thoughts on things i’m not knowledgeable about. how did you overcome that block?

I also try to stay within my lane in terms of knowledge, but I find that genuine curiosity about topics outside one’s expertise is better rewarded / less punished than on Twitter, where you’d be called all sorts of demeaning names for daring to step into someone else’s intellectual turf
