https://supercast.xyz — have fun on farcaster

The best way to change Farcaster if you're unhappy with it:

1. Use another client like @super and give the developer feedback

2. Build / fund someone to build your own client like /nouns is doing

3. Thoughtful critique either publicly or privately to me and Varun

the fixed auto follow list primarily

got a lot of old high school friends to download WC to play @perl and immediately their first comment was "why am I auto following all these randos"

it's qualitative feedback and I'm sure you're looking at engagement holistically, but dynamic onboarding could help

understood, but if you model WC onboarding off those apps, what's the killer use case for normie that doesn't care about benefits of sufficiently decentralized. their brain going to just compare the content here to twitter

maybe the magic moment is exposing them to frames as soon as possible after install, not sure

Go through onboarding for TikTok, Instagram or Twitter without giving them your contacts.

1. How do the accounts they suggest to follow get decided?

2. If you don't follow, how do they decide what shows up in your feed via the algo?

It's not a fixed list.

1. You select interests. There are accounts that are active in those interests and they have a recommendation score.

2. We also add in some randomness to the number of people you follow.

If no auto-follow, then it's a pure algo. Which effectively does the same thing, but no follows.
