Most of my friends hate crypto. They are either developers who think crypto is just for grifters or people who were in crypto and are down bad. Neither groups want any part of anything web3/crypto/blockchain/bitcoin related.

I haven't even told many friends about it because most of them aren't really into crypto and based on the content here, I think crypto has to be within someone's top 3 interests for Farcaster to be engaging enough to stay.

For folks with solid Twitter followings, I've found it to be a bit of a tough sell from an engagement standpoint

They don't use Twitter or use it very passively so no interest in other services that resemble it. The reddit angle might be an easier sell but they're also mostly passive users, FC channels don't have the amount of content that subreddits have.

I think if we onboard active web 3 people in consumer oriented fields (artists, gallerists, project founders, collectors, founders of consumer apps, podcasters, writers) we’ll get their audiences on I think it’s also hard to see what’s inside due to mobile app download + payment

I think the conversational wavelength on Farcaster right now is tech-oriented which is good in a way, but we need more zeitgeist conversational starting people on board to bring their followers on board Eg. Imagine if Taleb wrote about a certain topic here exclusively, we’d have an entirely new set of people on FC

Most of my online friends are artists and art collectors on twitter. They came, felt the community was too techy and buildery and not art friendly, and left.

they go where most of their friends are. unless you have a critical mass of users, it's hard to convince especially non-crypto friends of a new platform. i keep on trying to convince my friends ;)

I don't have such *online* friends, but a number of friends either (i) didn't see the appeal, (ii) don't speak to people on the internet, or (iii) don't think it's the best place to promote their work

And the lack of the ability to edit posts is also very annoying, if you made a mistake somewhere, you have to delete the post and do it again.

I just onboarded 2 team members. Until they followed individuals their feed was empty. If you have a button saying "show me awesome casts" on the home screen just after onboarding, it might be a little more sticky.
