More than 2/3 have casted less than 10 times 😥😥😥

If that’s you, tell us why. Nothing to say or don’t know the right thing to say? https://i.imgur.com/E5XePEg.jpg

Maker of Airstack: The easiest way to build on Farcaster | airstack.xyz | hihi! 


I wonder if there is anything more new caster bot @ncbot can do to encourage engagement and make this place feel more welcoming and safe? 💭

I can almost certainly promise you the answer is in the data and is all about engagement

Look at the churn rates of people who got 0 or very low engagement on their first, second, third cast and I bet it’s super high

Sounds likely. What keeps me coming here is my conviction that I *should* be supporting decentralized social media because I believe in it. It’s not just “is this better than twitter” but a moral calculation for me.

Also while I’m at it let me tag @conorbronsdon who I invited and has been too quiet 🥰

Maybe some simply haven't gotten in the habit of checking the app regularly? 

That's just a guess. I invited two great people to FC so far and had high hopes, but unfortunately neither of them is active here despite my encouragement. So I think I'll leave the inviting to others.

I’m a builder looking for the next challenge. 

The more you cast the easier it becomes 

This is definitely not the place for people who take themselves too seriously 🤣🤣🤣 

We’ll all be better off the more voices we hear from 💜💜

Me. 😢 I’m overthinking too much probably. I just need to be more comfortable with shitposting. 🤣

When I was 12 or 13 I brought home a test I got a C on.  My mom was disappointed. I explained to her it wasn’t bad, it was average. Her answer: “but you aren’t average” 💥 

That changed me.

And FC is not typical. We don’t compare stats to other networks. We win by beating our own high standards.

This is actually much better than the average social network.

The rule is typically 90 lurk / 9 react / 1 post

Still should always try to improve (so agree with your cast), but I don't read this with pessimism at all!

Staying up late at night wondering what the unrealized possibilities of Farcaster may be.

@dwr.eth who can answer questions about farcaster.network ?

Do reply's count as casts? How about recasts?

Hi Adrienne! Does this count reply casts? I reply-cast probably like 10x the number of casts I originate. But a cast is a cast amirite?

Hopefully that’s a problem that only gets better in the future.

Disengaged from the app because content discovery is a mess and it takes too much scrolling to find interesting stuff.

This graph gets worse if it’s not a curated list of people joining the protocol

This is literally just power law distribution, it's what most social networks, really most networks, fall into and will be what happens with Farcaster too as it grows.

Uncommon knowledge for context: The average number of LinkedIn connections is 2

I feel like I have so much to say but at the same time, don’t really know where to begin … replying to casts that I connect with feels much more natural

Mostly the latter. Still figuring out what I want to say on here. Also not yet in the habit of checking often
