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

pls let’s hear the truth that is there’s really only a set of hand picked accounts you have on the autofollow list. come on let’s stop the bs. love u tho

autofollow list for 200+ people?

Good luck to decentralization

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


you can make a client where the autofollow list is different

but my gut feeling is that this doesn’t matter enough to merit that
