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.

The single most useful thing anyone can do to help Farcaster is invite 1 person and be their Farcaster sherpa for the first month.

1. Onboard them

2. Start a direct cast with them (make sure they keep notifications on)

3. Start sending them interesting people and casts

4. Answer their questions

5. Encourage them to cast in channels they might have top 10% (or 1% knowledge on)

Most of the ppl I know are normies - I gave up on actively introducing them to Web3 until the computer is clearly more powerful than the casino

I don’t mind onboarding someone if they’re already interested (which rarely ever happens) but I’m not an evangelist - I don’t like telling ppl what to do and what is better for them - they need to dtor 

Feel free to tell me I’m part of the problem (maybe) but I don’t wanna put ppl and my own rep on the line bc the current Web3 is unstable to say the least

Have recently started using Farcaster and can totally agree with this, I'm still in my starting days and there's some learning curve with this compared to your traditional SM apps
