“What are you doing to help small accounts on Farcaster?”

We have a lot more work to do, but here’s what we’ve done in the last few months to improve:

1. Moved initial feeds away from a follow-based model to algorithmic and interest-based model

2. A daily set of boosted accounts with <10K followers

3. USDC rewards normalized by followers

4. A bunch of experiments and tweaks to improve the home feed to show interesting casts from people you don’t follow yet

More to come!

Glad you guys are working on this important point.  Any plan on completely removing power badges so new users can get moderated to the main feed in channels?

Thanks Dan, looking forward to channel changes.  For most new users getting familiar with the platform this is a huge pain point, glad it’s on your radar.

Channels are changing soon.

Power badge is gone but some of the channels might still have moderation settings based on it (available via other parties).

Take it up with the channel owner / moderator if you think their moderation choice could be improved. They are in control.
