some takeaways from talking with farcasters irl in /paris yesterday: - in total 11 people showed up (2 directly from the airport!), engaged users are motivated to connect irl - everyone looking for alpha (stated preference as joke, revealed preference seriously); a lot of degen, defi and clanker talk - from content creator pov, goal is audience growth, and warpcast/farcaster/web3 tools in general do not provide enough analytics atm to achieve this - my 3rd year hosting a meetup, first time hearing people express not 100% positive sentiment, mainly on concerns of user growth, lack of client diversity and difficulty for new accounts to break through

I think it is indeed very difficult for new accounts bc their casts are usually hidden. And many times people donโ€™t spend the time with them. There should be some incentive for new accounts. Maybe a tab with casts posted only by new accounts?

Great idea, I was one of those users and while I joined FC in February last year, I started using it just two months ago when a friend introduced me to the community. I think new users need a lot of encouragement and very important for growth of the network

Yes, it takes time, patience and consistency to build a circle here. But with time, it starts to get easier. There are a lot of nice people around.
