Farcaster

“What are you doing to help small accounts on Farcaster?”

We have a lot more work to do, but here’s what we’ve done in the last few months to improve:

1. Moved initial feeds away from a follow-based model to algorithmic and interest-based model

2. A daily set of boosted accounts with <10K followers

3. USDC rewards normalized by followers

4. A bunch of experiments and tweaks to improve the home feed to show interesting casts from people you don’t follow yet

More to come!

Growing a small account is not easy anywhere. Period. I’d argue it’s easier to grow on Farcaster than on X or IG or any other platform. Keep showing up and be active.

Yup 

I have grown my follower account on this platform to twice what I have on X in half the time

Power badge was a huge help of course

I'm sure all of us who were fortunate enough to have them did

Everyone else ... not so much lol

I understand the common complaint from many of our peers that without PB they feel invisible here

I know I wouldn't have grown my account like this without it

That said, I do think many of our peers need to evolve from a mindset of broadcasting their art (social media) to more genuine value-added engagement on the platform (social networking)

The things I learned from our peers when I first joined the space on X like posting my art in group chats to try to amplify one another, responding to shill threads, etc, didn't seem to work for me there and don't seem to work here, either 

While I'm not selling art through my presence here (only an extremely lucky few prominent artists seem to be selling art anywhere), at least I don't feel invisible this way

I hope you see what I mean

Imagine all those who don’t have PB. Honestly, it should disappear forever from anywhere on Farcaster, not just on Warpcast.
