How to improve your leaderboard ranking 1. Choose a niche to a top 1% caster on Farcaster today and try to have one extra thoughtful cast a day (like a mini blog post) 2. More generally, cast *a lot* (many times a day); doesn't need to be about the above niche 3. Use catchy, brief titles, see @balajis 4. Make your casts text-heavy 5. Write text in short paragraphs (2-3 lines max); avoid wall of text 6. Include one embed only (link/image/video) 7. Engage: Reply to comments 8. Direct message followers your most important posts 9. Create niche-focused group chats and post links to your casts to help kickstart engagement

Question about The Algorithm: casts that immediately get several likes get way more views than casts who get even more likes and recasts but over a longer period (12-24 hours), is that desirable? IMO my better takes are often the latter, I suspect partly due to timing vs size of active audience. I could do a better job scheduling (I don't at all rn) but that feels undesirable for farcaster at scale. I assume you're using a time decay component but I feel like it might need some tweaking, at least until the size of the active audience is much higher.

I'm also curious if my impression is incorrect. In which case would be nice if there was better tooling to provide correct impressions to better calibrate what we think resonates with what actually resonates.
