if warpcast had “stories” like Instagram, would you be interested in seeing parts of my day (or other farcasters’ days) that don’t necessarily deserve to be on main feed?

i would use it almost daily and start allocating some of my instagram time here instead.

here’s me leaving the office today :)

re: your second exception, do you not want to build close relationships on FC? 

asking because i have found that one of the reasons i keep coming back here is the friendships i have formed as a result of being here (@greg @grace etc).

what's the reason you're here?

Super cool photos but I don't think I would like 'Stories' content taking any space on feed

Two exceptional contexts:
- at an event like Farcon, would be cool to see what people are up to (but I can just follow the channel)
- if I had really close friends on FC, then it would be different

my POV: fleets was never going to work in 2021.

the platforms where stories thrived, Snapchat and then IG, were anchored and designed around relationships / connection; by the time Twitter launched fleets, it had already evolved into a global media platform powered by performative content where connection =/= goal.

i liked formerly-known-as-Twitter stories much better than Instagram. so sad the y sunsetted that feature.

oh thanks! didn’t know this existed. still would prefer them to be temporary and have replies route to DCs or Face instead of public channels.

why is it compelling to you?

but personally i would love that because i want to know more of you and about you!

I don't use IG but would use a stories like feature here.

agree. unless someone recreates snapchat (with public stories + private photo DCs or GCs), don't think this as a standalone client would work on farcaster.

This is the power of Warpcast’s position. If they built this feature AND some other client launched this as a standalone product, I would default to following on Warpcast only I think.

ditto! i share your concerns re: text-driven platform given stories has had poor traction on them before. 500M WhatsApp users use "Status" (equivalent of stories), which is +2x the # of Snapchat users but only 20% of overall WhatsApp users (2.7B).

warpcast is WhatsApp (GCs + DCs) but also Reddit + X + ig so i rly dk!!

i would love stories bc i'm a very visually oriented person - i love capturing moments and memories visually and love seeing how other people view the world as well. that being said given WC being a text and channels-first product maybe it wouldn't be the right fit feature wise yet

same!!! not to make this a gendered thing, but my girl friends LOVE using ig stories to share updates, snippets of their day, etc. i almost think they prefer it over text.

side note: i love that you are posting on farcaster more often!!!

Yes :) IG stories and stories highlights are my most used tools for sharing/consuming content

Adam. Trying to take this #bereshi and turn it into arkloud.xyz.  it's not coming along nicely, were for certain 'far and fewer."

the current stories UX experience is v dif from the initial.

ig launched stories in aug 2016 after seeing the snapchat's success w/ it. both platforms saw it as a means of sharing casual, everyday, behind-the-scenes content to drive sense of connection.

6mo later, ig added ads and... :) 500M users still use it daily.

Is that what you think stories are? I feel like they're sort of push notifications with more obnoxiousness than the main feed. 

Sticks them right at the top.

weird. what is your personal purpose for using Instagram? and wdym you need to feed material if you want any engagement? what needs to be rethought?

i'm pretty touch and go with instagram, but 100% use stories more than i use actual posts on the main feed there. and friends interact with my stories more than posts :)

I don't know. To me "stories" is this stupid feature on Instagram that I have to feed material to every day if I want any engagement on the platform but I don't use it otherwise and it makes no sense to me. If it were to be brought over here I hope it'd get rethought from top to bottom.

channels

yay! i agree! 

also here's my POV on fleets. i think it could work on FC in 2024 whereas it failed on twitter in 2021 because FC is still driven by relationships / connection (hence /channels and subcommunities forming) akin to Snapchat / early IG.

This reminds me of twitter "instagram stories" but they killed this product a while ago. Would be supercool to have it here!

We could create a « story » channel for that right?

good :)

i'm not done with instagram (most of my non-URL friends are there... for now), but i dream of the day where i can scroll through my friends' stories without having to see a random ad every other click.

Absolutely. I'm so done with Twitter and Instagram. Would use the heck out of that

last night i fell asleep thinking about the idea of making an instagram client for fc bc i used to love instagram and now i hate it

so, yes i would also use it

These kind of photos are rad and I’d want people to share them somehow but Stories feels like a conversational black hole with one to many participants.

It’s probably not the only reason but once it launched I feel like IG feed quality has completely sunk.

Yeah I would enjoy Warpcast stories actually, I'd post on there
