What is the most frustrating thing about Farcaster right now? Reply and like the replies from others that resonate. I’ll only ask clarifying questions (ie I won’t tell you you’re wrong) and then respond to a dozen or so top answers in a video this weekend with how we think about it.

The fact that users have to pay just to create an account, there’s no “free trial” I know you guys are working on driving down the cost but it’s still unclear what the incentive is for non-WC apps to use FC for identity given that it adds friction and the value ultimately accrues to Merkle

No native token = never ending supply of new tokens trying to become the de facto token of Farcaster.

For Warpcast: replies are second-class citizens even though that’s where most of the interesting interactions happen Too much focus on top-level “bangers” and one level of reply bumping isn’t enough Usually the deeper the reply thread the more engaging it gets, would love to see a UX oriented around that

1. The protocol should theoretically allow for simple transactions to be seamless and they are not. Kind of a crypto problem. 2. Scanning channels is burdensome, making #3 worse 3. My actions create a worse algo. I’ll like casts to support people or because I’m influenced by their momentum. I’d like an aspirational feed rather than a reflective feed.

I feel that signers are a ticking bomb. Very low visibility on what signed with with signer, who has a signer you have approved, what will happen if you remove it, etc. Maybe it's my OCD (I only have it for this type of things), but it stops me from feeling free to use stuff.

love the “i’ll only ask clarifying questions” add-on btw, generated some very interesting discussions in the comments imo

One of the most frustrating things about Farcaster right now is the new channels feature. It’s frustrating when a channel that should be 'community-owned' ends up being locked down by an 'owner' (often early FID but ...) who limits it to just 10 or 50 members able to post. If a channel is meant to serve the broader community, it shouldn’t be locked or controlled by a single owner. Would love to see more flexibility and openness in how these channels are managed.

I find it hard to discover new interesting content (in a very passive and lazy way)

better multi-account support would be a big help, currently using Supercast to fill the void but can’t answer DMs

I think my ‘frustrations’ are Warpcast related, not Farcaster: 1. No chronological feed - I use /recaster to scroll and see casts not arranged by an algorithm 2. Misleading cast engagement metrics - I have to open Recaster or Supercast to see the real number of likes, recasts and replies on my casts I know why you hide certain cast engagements because you try to battle spam But I think your spam filters are too aggressive and hide many real likes, recasts and replies 3. Missing active badge - to me, this badge is a signal of account authenticity, not a vanity symbol; I’m more inclined to follow or follow back an account with an active badge than one without because chances are the latter is a bot Again, I’m switching between Recaster and Supercast to check which Farcaster accounts have active badges

Hard to form connections. I’m not interested in growing a following, so much as connecting with like minded people. It’s probably more of a me problem, not a protocol problem. I’m hoping the recent channel changes allow more interest-based connection.

Wasting time thinking about what channel to post to. I like channels, but that should be auto done by an AI and happen AFTER the post.
