Our top priority right now is increasing the supply of interesting and entertaining content on Farcaster. We've shipped the following in the last week: 1. Longer casts 2. Narrowcasts 3. Reply bumping is back in home feeds 3. Chanel rituals 4. Cast drafts 5. Trending cast notifications 6. X mentions experiment 7. ...and maybe something else coming in hot end of day Check out /fc-updates for more details.

Why is this your top priority? In talking to users who have signed up and paid for a Farcaster account (the hard part), the consistent theme is "there's not enough interesting content compared to X." So we're tackling the problem from a few dimensions: 1. Reduce friction for casting more (recent Warpcast product work) 2. New primitives (the Frames team is working on a few experiments here) 3. Home feed experiments — continue to improve the Warpcast machine learning model to surface relevant posts from channels you follow and content people you follow (but you don't) find engaging. This helps solve for a very common problem where inactive users don't follow enough people. Additionally, we're starting to see progress for new content on Farcaster from other, non-Twitter-like apps such as @drakula and @moshicam.

Unfortunately because we live in a status based society. You need more celebs on the app. Content has to be broader than onchain in order to cast a bigger net. Right now Warpcast is a forum for onchain activity.

I think this is a deliberate strategy. First, we onboard ALL of crypto. Then, they will help us onboard the rest of the world. It's a strategy that makes sense to me. All crypto people have interests outside of crypto, so they will bring those interests here. I think the focus should be on dismantling crypto twitter, for what we have here - a much better alternative. And I believe this is the approach they are taking or it's my understanding after reading several things @dwr.eth has written on the topic.
