Quick layman explanation on Frame:
- You create site, site has link
- Site has meta frame tags
- You post site link to FC client
- Client parses the meta tags
- If supported, will embed the Frame, if not fallback to simple embed
- Click Button will send POST to site link
- Response from site is HTML with new frame

Wrap your head around frames

Frames are a brand new feature that allow mini-app like interactivity within casts. 

This cast from @king does a great job breaking down how they work

I had thought my custody addy was sufficient for the festivities, but you’ll want another for top fun.

Another great tip.

You should also include @purple and /purple for those that want to go deeper down the rabbit hole in supporting the Farcaster ecosystem.

Ya. That would have been smart! Will add to the thread

Think of it as an in game currency you can buy, use and earn (just sent you a tip). 

You'll need them to do specific things on the app, like start a channel, mint an NFT or connect your account to other applications. 

When using the web version, you'll see a link in the sidebar. Buy them there.

What are Warps?

Simple: Makes it easier to add a Farcaster app.

Advanced: Another way to pay to connect a Farcaster app (which has an underlying onchain transaction) that is not an in-app $0.99 payment but is compliant with App Store rules.

Wait, what?😵‍💫

Is there a chronological option to view channels? Thanks for the info.

Hi @jess. Where can we read the rules of Farcaster channel?
We just received the warning for our Airdrop post here that we do every 24 hours to decentralize our GameFi Staking space.

We would appreciate your response. Thank you!

🌈Granted by @base & Merit Circle & Google Web3

I’m not a channel host. But posting airdrop shills (regardless of your intent) will get a warning in many channels.

Farcaster channel is not an announcement channel. It’s a place to share topics directly related to FC.

There’s a quality bar. 

“You need a complete profile and (inbound reaction + replies) / casts ≥ 1”

Please follow me, I will follow you back, and follow me

Theres a chance you might have been muted or marked as spam? Is that a potential issue? Where you doing something silly at any point (follow for follow, spamming channels etc?)

Are there any known Warpcast support yet? I have a problem where all my posts to channels being invisible. 

Thankful for any ideas on how to solve this.
