Warpcast

Farcaster

This isn't the main reason that people aren't onboarding onto Farcaster 

Warpcast has done a poor job of creating network effects where active users try to onboard their friends.  I think many active users are discouraged to attempt to onboard their friends or social circle bc  a) it costs $5 and b) there's not enough fun things for friends to do with each other like Words With Friends, Wordle, HQ Trivia etc.

People already have too many messaging apps so I think Warpcast needs to offer messaging/social plus more fun activities in order for new users to onboard to yet another social platform or messaging app

the $5 thing is the most blatantly obvious factor in all of this, seriously lol

🎩 first, but I like being part of this experiment that is the Farcaster network. 

job: token analyst. Talk to me about football, sports, crypto, outdoors, growth, econ, investing, chess

just do like a No Fee Week on Farcaster to test or something 🤷‍♂️

I dunno, I think looking at comments in another thread, onboarding is only one piece of the friction. 

The test channel idea is cool, almost as a way to familiarize them with how it works without ‘spam’ consequences.

Or 10 user invited for every “real” user to try onboarding a group of friends.

A “free test” channel would be cool too - doesn’t even need to be onchain, could just help onboard friends groups and demo all the channel capabilities from cross-posting to open actions and frames.
