Farcaster

Virtually all of the people on Farcaster with large audiences:

1. Don't have large audiences elsewhere (Farcaster is their first time with a large audience)

2. Didn't know me or Varun and didn't know each other. The "Farcaster OG scene" is net new creation of Farcaster.

3. Were early and stuck around when everyone made fun of Farcaster (and people still do)

4. Continued to cast interesting stuff, casted in channels when we suggested people cast in channels

5. Warpcast onboarding asks all users for their interests

6. Based on the interests, we pair the account with an initial set of follows

7. There are 200+ accounts on the list, weighted toward accounts that get the most engagement / drive retention, but a large group of people benefit

8. On our list to improve, but the reality is outside of "I should be on the list!" haven't seen any concrete proposals to improve

The only way to grow on farcaster is to reply to people, individually, with meaningful replies, but unfortunately a lot of people don’t want to put in the work

I’ve yet to see someone make this list and not have a good following

It’s a very different audience than CT

Sorry, i disagree with your take. Being active at replying others doesn't work like it used to. I literary watched your account blew up from 5k to where it is now, seeing how active you are with replying others (so its okay to point others to what helped you grow)

- The issues currently is the biases with power badge
- Most top engaged posts now aren't worth any genuine reply aside simping for tips and all

If you light a lamp for someone else it will also brighten your path


i appreciate the response brother and have always loved engaging with you so respect your opinion for sure

you may be right that it doesn't work like it used to, but i do think it would help a lot of people tbh

it's less about gaming metrics and beating the algo and more about making friends and letting stuff happen naturally
