It’s open to everyone. Algo is based on engagement.

Talking of engagement, I’d love to chip in something. I feel like the Farcaster algorithm could use some improvement, particularly in ensuring fairness. Now I’m not saying it’s completely flawed, but one major issue I’ve noticed is the Trending Casts section. Some casts that appear there don’t seem trending-worthy, while others, from highly consistent and talented creators like @depressivehacks @shamanistic.eth and some other creators who I feel like they’ve been making banger casts (in my own opinion) never seem to make it to that section. This raises the question: How does the algorithm determine which casts are “worthy” of trending and which ones aren’t? And if it’s strictly by engagements how does it pick it up ?

Also believe @boldleonidas said something related to this in a now deleted cast before he went back off

I have had a grand total of 3 (three) trending casts so far, and my (unverified) theory is that it has something to do with the amount of people, and the gravitas of the casters who interact with it..

As someone who has lurked here for awhile, my ✌🏼cents is it has to do a ton with the fact that too many “Creators” automatically received thousands of followers when newbies were added, and they automatically followed a ton of “house” accounts (the Dan Fans). My ex invited me, has like 60K followers, but a majority of those were because he was someone who got an automatic follower when someone new was added to farcaster. So a lot of “OG’s” have a bloated following count, leading to bloated interactions, and a failure in algo? Idk I’m a normie I’m not sure how it works but that’s my observation. I wish people like my ex weren’t given the automatic following bc he’s an asshole and doesn’t deserve it lol but that’s neither here nor there. I had to unfollow a lot of the Dan fan crowd. Tbh I feel like deleting my account daily, but then I remember I do enjoy the smaller creators - like @imthedude so I say fuck it I’ll stick around.
