just put up this prototype of what i call subjective farcaster:

a collection of cached endpoints which can be used to calculate the number of likes on a cast or the number of followers of a user filtered based on 2 degrees of separation from the viewer's social graph i.e. only counting interactions from the viewer's follows or the follows of the viewer's follows

would like to turn this into a cast action but it's really slow

hosting an instance of the api at https://subjective-farcaster.steer.fun

cypherpunk wannabe, engineer working on @frames /open-frames /opencast

Would be also the 2nd call slow? As I understood than at least the links are cached for a day?!

2nd call is decently fast yeah. maybe i should just build it

yeah would definitely have to do that hehe. the server that i'm hosting it on takes minutes to build up big networks from scratch. let's see how it goes once it has most of it cached

Is it possible to run it in an own named thread, if it not finished just ping a message (to also avoid timeout errors), like: still collecting… try again or so. And then (if you have a unique thread name,e.g. viewerfid-hash) just again waiting up to 3-4 seconds.. I mean I would wait for the outcome, as this is quite interesting 😊
