Farcaster Devs

something missing for most apps that use the farcaster social graph to seed their own network is keeping that social graph in sync

for example zora suggests people to follow when you sign up initially but i 
actually want it to sync my new farcaster follows too

i also had this problem when building Stories - the miniapp depends entirely on your farcaster social graph. i could store every user's social graph in my db, but there isn't really a simple way to keep it up to date

i ended up fetching all the user's links and checking which of those users are in my db every time they loaded the page to generate their feed, which kinda sucks. 

would be nice to be able to subscribe to a webhook for a subset of users for when their social graph changes. maybe something neynar would be interested in solving @rish @manan?

This webhooks already exists. Subscribe to follow/unfollow events for any set of fids.

Separately, also have an indexer service that can write follows to your db so you don’t have to worry about keeping it in sync manually

yes see all APIs here: https://docs.neynar.com/reference/update-webhook

back in the day, automod wouldn't run if no programmatic webhooks 😁

ps - you have to maintain the existing filter on your backend because an update overwrites the existing one with the new one

can i programmatically update the FIDs for the webhook?
