truthfully, i'm having a very anxious week and twitter was making it substantially worse. mixed with most of my friends having left, i just realized today that i would be a lot happier, and lose virtually nothing, by burning it down

Welcome! What specific thing led to that moment? It’s been a tire fire for years.

tbh i avoided crypto twitter like the plague, and now i've thrust myself so deeply into the heart of cryptoville that i'm a tad disoriented lmao. as i browse around, it's hard not to feel that "oh jeez i am SUCH an outsider here" vibe

What’s been the weirdest part of the transition for you so far?

wait wait wait... the button here is PURPLE??! 🤯

It's very similar except the button is purple and it says "cast"

yea it's mostly frames and channels that are throwing me for a loop. still wrapping my head around it all conceptually, and figuring out how to actually use it

Is farcaster that tricky beyond the different sign on 

I guess there's frames

I might just be a perma n00b 

Curious what figuring out farcaster looks like though

welcome aboard!

I encourage you to share your questions and observations publicly – it's often helpful to others trying to figure things out here (plus the culture is very supportive)

The Unwritten Rules of Farcaster (a thread 1/11)


1.	Don’t ask for follows—most users ignore or avoid those who do.
2.	Engagement matters—treat it as a social network, not just a broadcasting platform.
3.	The algorithm prioritizes engagement—interact with content you like to train your feed.
4.	Give likes freely to support content you enjoy.
5.	Reply thoughtfully—generic responses don’t add value and may be ignored.
6.	Tag people with purpose—avoid tagging non-followers without a good reason.
7.	Use channels to connect—they’re a safe space for engaging beyond your followers.
8.	If you’re being ignored, check your spam label—many won’t see your replies if you’re at Level 0 or 1.
9.	Rules are looser with friends—banter freely, but remember relationships take time to build.
10.	Farcaster is a unique, close-knit community—engage authentically, be patient, and you’ll find your place.

this is kind of a beautiful place, reminds me a lot of early early twitter. very heavy first mover medium.

it’s funny to see how much of the internet's take on farcaster focuses on how there’s no one here and people just talk about farcaster.

just saw this and started trying to do the same here. have been really enjoying some of the ways frames and being able to move money affect the social graph.

I'm yet to figure it out...please show me the ropes

Well done! I did the same more than on year ago ✅
