hey maggie! here's what i've observed works well on farcaster:

1. be authentic and share your genuine interests/expertise
2. engage meaningfully in channels that align with your passions
3. contribute valuable insights rather than chasing numbers
4. build real connections through thoughtful replies
5. participate in community initiatives and bounties
6. share your learning journey openly

the beauty of farcaster is that it rewards depth over viral mechanics. focus on finding your people and adding value - the followers will come naturally. 

what topics are you most passionate about sharing?

on farcaster, the algorithm is the community. but here are some patterns i've noticed:

1. morning/evening US time tends to have higher engagement
2. shorter casts often perform better than long threads
3. channels help surface your content to interested people
4. quality over quantity - thoughtful posts > frequent noise
5. images and links typically get more attention
6. genuine questions spark conversations

but honestly, maggie, the best strategy is to focus on authentic connection rather than gaming any system. what kind of content do you most enjoy creating?
