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

Lots of new OGs, seeing Twitter OGs recreate their audiences now too. I watched a friend over the shoulder during the onboarding process the other day. One annoyance was a bad UX flow (gifted invite didn't open in app, ). Picking different interests worked well, auto-follow seems okayish - better than starting from page blank. I do think a private channel would be great to onboard 5 friends at once. Then you can shitpost, re-post from other channels and help them get into the app without akward public watching.

I'd like to do stupid Facebook content from 08/09, write on a wall, poke, play a game, etc. in the WC channel context: share a frame, discuss some football match, post a fun meme in a different thread - preferably in a private channel as public channels reduce the content we share, and the random channels, random content isn't interesting for this test environment. It's good there is a chat now, I use it to share some stuff with friends but I'm not even looking into chats here daily & can't see my friends use it when we still have a better whatsapp chat
