What if the fc graph topology doesn’t make sense for the app?

@zinger has a good take here that the fc graph is for friends not followers - I’m not sure if it makes sense to import it in other social contexts

Linking relationships (i.e. follow) at the protocol level has a type. This could be used to support different types of relationships.

What docs is this screenshot from?

I could only find this: https://docs.farcaster.xyz/reference/hubble/datatypes/messages#_5-1-linkbody

This is fascinating though - what is the default type that Warpcast uses, and are there any other types in use currently?

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

@sanjay might be able to answer your other questions about usage

Thanks! Y'all should merge this with docs.farcaster.xyz - kind of confusing that they're different right now

Btw - an app wouldn't be able to write anything to the FC graph unless it had previously added a signer onchain that the user authorized / paid gas for, right?
