I think the issue is more to do with the low engagement rate / reach when ppl do share interesting content for their community. that and the fact that its much harder to grow on here vs other platforms. (I love fc btw, just some feedback Ive heard a lot)

I have the same experience on most other platforms tho. If I share something I find interesting on X, I get no engagement. Because I haven’t spent time building an audience there. Same with IG, etc. Anywhere you go, you will get poor engagement until you spend time building an audience.

Ah. That sucks. Might be different if all you share is art, i get really good engagement on FB and it was much easier to grow a new account on IG, FB & Twitter for me.

I wish the suggested follows showed accounts I'm truly interested in. I see little to no artists in there rn tho. Not sure what the solution is.

Perhaps it is because art isn't being recognized and valued by the platform? It doesn't show in trending, and it doesn't show as suggested follows for new followers, so we're left relying on each other to find the new artists here? As for building an audience, I've been her since February, posting multiple times daily, and crossposting to various channels (which isn't possible on other platforms), yet my average reactions per cast is (I think) roughly 22. I get that the entire audience on Farcaster is smaller, but that's not a great result when I share an image that got 65k reactions on Facebook, for instance.

On Fc, you have to spend more time building an audience and a network. You can’t just share something and expect good distribution here. You have to spend the time creating an audience.

While I agree its important to invest time to build an audience, its really not helping a new platform onboard new users if the algorithm prevents organic reach / growth & account discovery in the initial years of its launch. Especially for artists who already have to spend an enormous amount of time marketing themselves on 3-4 other platforms. Most people I see having a lot of success on FC spend 4-8 hours day on the app. How are artists supposed to find time to create if 1/3 of their day is dedicated to growing their FC audience? Its never gonna happen they’re just gonna leave and focus on platforms where their content is seen more easily. The amount of time I’ve had to spend on here to grow my account was probably 4-5x more than IG, FB & X. Def a big issue to address as it will keep preventing mass onboarding imo.

Is your audience here worth 4-5x as much as it is on other platforms? I don't fuck with other platforms, and this is my first experience as a creator but I have heard from others, that building an audience here is far more lucrative than elsewhere. My real point is, that if you have limited amount of time to spend on FC as an artist, you would be better off working on building relationships and an audience first before worrying about sharing your art in a bunch of different channels.

Sorry totally missed this, yeah that's what I assumed. I personally do not know many artists who have made more on here selling their art, there are a few yes, but it's def not a high %. I am not personally struggling, but the feedback I've gotten from pretty much every artist I've onboarded who ended up leaving was the same and had to do with reach / engagement / growth being too low. I'd love to keep onboarding, but this is a major barrier. I'm only talking about the art community btw.
