FID vs. OpenRank "Engagement" Ranking: - https://dune.com/queries/3901607 - *ridiculously heavily* skewed towards the earliest users of Farcast - Why? Because the algorithm starts off by selecting a trusted group of core users based on metrics heavily biased in favor of early users (see https://docs.openrank.com/integrations/farcaster/ranking-strategies-on-farcaster). - early users receive multiple boosts to engagement due to similar algorithms being used everywhere (e.g. Power Badge, Degen Tips), which results in a positive feedback loop. FID vs. Follower Count: - https://dune.com/queries/3901623/6557858 - nearly impossible for users who registered after a certain point to create the mega followings of the earliest users Why not use first cast or registration date? Dune's Neynar data doesn't have this <= 2023-09. If anybody has an alternative data source I can use on Dune, it would be much appreciated. Next: I investigate the degree of cliquiness in early users, if anybody is interested?

Oops I meant to CC you guys because I actually did this based on @artlu 's response to you re OpenRank and then I completely forgot to! @artlu I couldn't do the analysis by registration date because the neynar data on dune is bad prior to 2023-09-05

I haven't done it yet, but for a subset of ~50 accounts I was gonna run a query for date of first cast. Maybe min( . , . ) against registration date. Still not perfect because of pruning, but this affects a tiny subset of users. I don't think it's worth the effort for a one-off question, but two possible data sources for archivists: - Searchcaster has been continuously up in prod for a long time and doesn't prune (afaik) and it has an api. Maybe it becomes the de facto source. - @pixel has some old archives that could independently verify for the first 4k or so FIDs
