Increasing the number of people Farcaster is reaching without having solved retention (which is a function of supply of interesting and entertaining content) is a recipe for wasting money and time.

I've never understood this argument, but you make it often: 1. It's a waste of time and money to draw new people to Farcaster until retention improves 2. Retention is a function of having good content 3. Therefore, let's not draw anyone new to Farcaster. If we buy your assertion in premise 2, that retention is a function of good content, then how do you get more good content without onboarding new creators? Yes you can squeeze existing users for more content, but don't you also need a denser network of interesting content creators, too.

Isn't one function of the other?? More people onboard to FC, more content in the feed.

just an idea but syncing contacts from other platforms / nfts sold to __ wallets so its easier for artists to find their collectors / followers and follow them easily could be a game changer for new users looking to grow faster :)

Agree. It's like filling a cup of water with holes and being more concerned on having a strong flow from the faucet rather than fixing the hole first.

imho the content's form is the marketing, and max retention is aesthetically no different than ritualistic behavior. there's something to be said about facilitating forms of ritualism like "wassailing" and leveraging everything possible out of that for synthesizing interesting content. farwalks already manifested. how long until roving GoPro yappers on unlonely? how long until "change my mind" campus incursions? not saying this is worth the bandwidth to entertain at this precise moment, but idk, seems like a bit of chicken & egg, along w/ cost savings of picking what can be crowdsourced.

Thoughts on interest-based friends being the hook rather than entertaining content? That's what keeps me and many others coming back, feels like there could be an unlock by leaning into making friends (underserved since FB imo) rather than attracting the best content (lot of competition)

I'm trying to increase retention with games like /sands-of-sumaii ! The game concept comes from the biggest RPG bot from Discord. The whole point is to keep people involved in your discord server (retention). It's a proven game/system and I'm just putting it on Farcaster instead of Discord.

How could we increase retention? Without solving this, any effort to attract more users might result in them leaving quickly due to a lack of interesting content!
