my unsolicited 2 cents is that farcaster feels and is a tight nit community, rather than a network

that's a good thing, but also a bad thing for the network? maybe?

every time i open up warpcast, every cast is either referencing some new "iykyk" meta, or about crypto

and as someone who isnt as interested in crypto as i used to be, i use fc less, because fc casts are very crypto/meta heavy, and if you dont know the meta, you're out of the loop

if i had to ask Dan one question, it would be if he see's this as a positive or a negative, does Dan want casts to very crypto centric or more broad/different topics?

I’d agree and also add that I’ve noticed a similar pattern in  conversation I’ve had with friends about being in Farcaster about the challenge of keeping up with multiple platforms.

People have already “found their tribe” on platforms like Twitter, which makes being on Farcaster feel a bit isolating if their familiar circles aren’t here, or have abandoned their profiles for the reason I mentioned above.

I think things like Yup, or even that weird test Merkel did a while back where they crossposted for some people is an easy fix, but the hard part is to get the people to stay and continue to interact on this platform and continue fostering their community and help others “find their tribes.”

totally get you on that! juggling multiple platforms is like having too many group chats going at once. it can be overwhelming and kind of lonely if your usual crew isn't there. integration tools could help, but yeah, the real trick is keeping folks engaged and building those connections so it feels like home.
