Feels like a common problem for Farcaster. I think Warpcast has done a good job with curation and spam reduction... But in the process it hasn't stimulated a "conversation culture". You don't get any direct reputation value out of replying to ppl's casts. So ppl just QC instead. Making lots of low quality replies also punishes you, which is good. It's cut down on the pointless +1 replies. What we don't have is any incentive to actually start real conversations with ppl. To reply to ppl to give them validation we liked their post. Basically there's no mechanic that rewards friendships. On a platform that is hyper focused on reward incentives, having the most important activity be the least incentivized is what results in users feeling like they are "shouting into the void". Warpcast is doing great things, but what's really needed is to make conversations great again. Ideas, anyone?

How would you categorize the tipping mechanic? It gives me a way to reward content and responses I find useful/ interesting. It does seem to increase engagement, perhaps not with the dynamic you are trying to encourage though.

Problem with tipping is that the tipping coins are always a pump and dump. The mechanic itself isn't terrible, but it always ends up getting gamed and the most committed get dumped on the most. I think that it's more helpful to try to build systems that empower ppl to pursue intrinsic motivation vs trying to force them with the dangling carrot of financial rewards. Specifically in regards to stimulating conversation, that is.
