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

this is sad because there's so much interesting content on here

if there's one thing the Farcaster team has done well it's onboard funny, unique, smart, awesome people

it's just that the content is hard to discover because, well, you know

big disagree 

people onboard then they don't see anything so they bounce

content discoverability is 🗑️ on here as we discussed when you and I had an in-depth 8 message back and forth convo and not a single one of our followers saw it because of the choices that were made regarding what goes in the home feed

@xmon.eth was posting about the lack of content discoverability recently 

was also frustrating to have to explain to my friend @ariusderr the other day that he can't just reply to people on here to get visibility, he has to quote recast for any followers to see his reply content

so it's not just lack of content for new users, it's also that there are artificial limits on the visibility of THEIR content which is a dopamine killer in its own right

has any new user actually told you that there’s not enough interesting content so that’s why they bounced?

i’ve heard this sentiment repeated but i’ve yet to hear a new user actually say this
