Warpcast onboarding flow as of August 1, 2024 I've seen an uptick in casts talking about improving onboarding for non-crypto-people. So here's a live onboarding I just did. I'd say it's pretty close to any web2 experience with the exception of upfront payment. You'll notice: 1. Minimal crypto UX — we use in-app purchases and Passkeys 2. The majority of onboarding interests used to populate the initial algo feed are non-crypto. 3. Since we no longer do initial follows, the initial feed nudges new users to follow more people. (Remember, the number one reason people churn is not enough content in their feed.) 4. Aside: crypto people don't sync contact book but non-crypto people do (because every other social app does this). However, that means the new people don't immediately find people they know the network.

This is great! Just need a rock solid “quick start guide” for new users to guide them through the first few hours and days. Love the progress.

No at-scale apps have a quick start guide iirc. TikTok has a swipe up / down single screen guide. If it's not intuitive, people will leave. Average person does not read the manual.

Good point, agree it needs to be intuitive. My concern is that channels and moderation is so complex and different between channels and a new user might get easily frustrated and leave after not getting much engagement. From some of your other posts and hiding (and possibly removing) PowerBadges this might get fixed.

The more likely reason is most new users aren't willing to grind on posting enough to build an audience and get engagement.

Yup, some of us love the “grind” while others will easily get fed up and leave. Right now if you’re scared to jump into someone’s replies you won’t succeed here. It creates a more tight community and you get to know users better but you have to put in the time. I worry some are putting in the time and grinding but are just doing it wrong and leaving. That’s what I was getting at, there has to be a way to give new users a direction when they are starting that gives them the best chance of sticking with it.
