There is a lot of discussion on Farcaster of getting more people to use Farcaster. I think it’s obvious that you should just invite people to use it. This is how I started using it.

You need to target people who actually respect the platform and would take an interest in the community. They should come from all different backgrounds, but also shouldn’t have giant egos. They should be down to earth people who just like to post, share information, and interact.

There already seems to be lots of tech people and VCs so there’s not an obvious point in further saturating the platform with this type of individual. There is a big world out there with all diverse types of people looking for a home. I believe its possible to build a community wherever the infrastructure works.

Encouraging people to cast in channels as opposed to the home feed would also help with engagement to make people feel more welcome

Is there a way to sort channels based on how active they are as opposed to just seeing how many followers it has?

A small active channel on a topic that appeals to you would be a great place for a new comer to start casting in order to see some engagement & build confidence in how the platform works
