There is a lot of discussion on Farcaster of getting more people to use Farcaster. I think it’s obvious that you should just invite people to use it. This is how I started using it.

You need to target people who actually respect the platform and would take an interest in the community. They should come from all different backgrounds, but also shouldn’t have giant egos. They should be down to earth people who just like to post, share information, and interact.

There already seems to be lots of tech people and VCs so there’s not an obvious point in further saturating the platform with this type of individual. There is a big world out there with all diverse types of people looking for a home. I believe its possible to build a community wherever the infrastructure works.

dang, idk. straight inviting folks is hard.

we need more interesting modalities and interactivity through composability and discovery. people will show up because perceived value is greater than existing platforms.

a vibrant ecosystem of high value substitutes is the only way to tip folks over.

it’s fine for user growth, but bad for retention. what happens when content goes stale? consumers get bored and move on.

Good platform is important but someone just told me to post and it worked. Many such cases…
