The Unwritten Rules of Farcaster: Cast A Lot*

When the Warpcast team says: Cast a lot* to be successful and be eligible for airdrops and rewards, that’s a huge oversimplification. 

There’s a BIG asterisk in there that’s invisible, but important understand. You need to cast things that are going to get engagement. Casting for castings sake isn’t going to work out in your favor. 

75-80% of casts on Farcaster get zero engagement. That means no likes, no comments, and no recasts. This is bad.

Great thread as usual @pichi. One thing that I noticed recently is that top (and quote) casting seems to be valued more algorithmically than replies. Not that commenting is bad, just not given the same points as the others at the moment.

Me neither, but in reality the algorithm doesn’t know what is being added to the conversation, it just rewards certain behaviour and demotes others

Many people feel the same. I’m seeing a lot more quote casting over replying. I think if you add to the conversation, it’s not necessarily a bad thing!
