I think top of funnel discoverability is something to improve. 

Clear value prop, call to action to sign up, explain why there’s cost.

But the reality is word of mouth and invites from passionate existing users will be the best growth vector.

I think the Farcaster registration cost is the highest drop off stage of the funnel - most users don't have enough proof of value

The highest leverage opportunity right now is figuring out how to increase the perceived value to the user before getting them to pay; other apps use the freemium model for this problem

Reading through the reddit thread yesterday, I believe the biggest problem is people go to farcaster.xyz and there is no way to go from there to the feed. The most important improvement would be a single button, "read" or "browse" or "explore", that links to warpcast.com.

an indicator of activity would be great at the very least. Like new 1000 posts by 600 users in the last day about food, ethereum and travel

My point is: The feed is there for everybody to see, and yet one of the biggest complaint on reddit was "I can't even look at it without paying." That's a failure in directing user flows. They should be encouraged to read first, and then to sign up if they want to post.
