Our top priority right now is increasing the supply of interesting and entertaining content on Farcaster. We've shipped the following in the last week: 1. Longer casts 2. Narrowcasts 3. Reply bumping is back in home feeds 3. Chanel rituals 4. Cast drafts 5. Trending cast notifications 6. X mentions experiment 7. ...and maybe something else coming in hot end of day Check out /fc-updates for more details.

Why is this your top priority? In talking to users who have signed up and paid for a Farcaster account (the hard part), the consistent theme is "there's not enough interesting content compared to X." So we're tackling the problem from a few dimensions: 1. Reduce friction for casting more (recent Warpcast product work) 2. New primitives (the Frames team is working on a few experiments here) 3. Home feed experiments — continue to improve the Warpcast machine learning model to surface relevant posts from channels you follow and content people you follow (but you don't) find engaging. This helps solve for a very common problem where inactive users don't follow enough people. Additionally, we're starting to see progress for new content on Farcaster from other, non-Twitter-like apps such as @drakula and @moshicam.

Why do you think there is no interesting content on Farcaster, as far as I know? The real interesting content is here, not there. I've used X quite a little to know it's not interesting, while I was hooked to become a DAU on Farcaster from day one that joined!!

I’ve been onboarding my web2 artist friends and Coven team (that is mostly web2 native) to farcaster and let’s just say it’s been hard to retain them. There’s just so much to wrap your head around. How do we make the onboarding and retention better?

Unfortunately because we live in a status based society. You need more celebs on the app. Content has to be broader than onchain in order to cast a bigger net. Right now Warpcast is a forum for onchain activity.

Personally, I really enjoy the content I find on Farcaster. Sometimes it’s not quite my style, but the passion for creating quality content shines through. What I personally don’t like and struggle with every day is avoiding getting lost among bots and achieving any kind of organic interaction with people who appreciate my content. It’s frustrating to post in channels that, despite being focused on ‘Art,’ are completely inactive. Even when I do receive reactions, it seems that 80% of the time, they’re from bots. I believe these challenges will eventually discourage content creators who are still trying to understand how the protocol works and find it difficult to build a community (as is the case for me)
