Farcaster

Ngl feels wild that I have 400k+ followers on here and have a bunch of posts that get less than 10 likes.

I know its kinda an impossible problem to solve but psychologically just feels weird.

Def on me to post better content but makes me not want to post niche stuff I care deeply about and instead just engagement farm topics that are more in the meta.

Anyone else or just me?

Onchain is the new online - FID 206 -  cooprecords.xyz

why does the number of likes matter when it comes to posting things you deeply care about?

Thanks for sharing. I guess the algorithmic feed naturally makes the content have to compete more for the top spots, and those spots are influenced by what the broader public of Farcaster likes to engage with... or maybe the interests of the public as a whole have changed since the platform grew in the past year

Because the entire reason FC was so enjoyable early on is that niche content was received way more positively and with a much wider convo than on Twitter.

I felt like I could post open and honest takes on things that were personal to me and not feel alone in those opinions.

To then have that come full circle where those posts don't get engagement makes me feel like they are invaluable again and to just bull post and talk about trendy topics instead.

I can post a deep thread about songs we're dropping on the label I'm super passionate about or my mixes that I put a ton of love into but instead a post of me buying my own MOXIE fan tokens which takes 5 seconds gets 10x more engagement

Likes aren't the end all be all but they def matter a lot in terms of encouraging you to post more or less of a specific type of content.
