Farcaster

one of my only requests to farcaster as more users join and reactive:

building from zero on any platform is hard, and can feel extra hard when it seems there's already a strong in-group (as it seems here).

if someone (re)joins and says it is hard to grow here or that engagement is tough, i encourage you find truth in it before getting defensive or snarky. the latter isn't going to keep anyone around, but the former might.

i would love to see farcaster lean in and embrace new and reactivated users by:

1. replying to new users as much as you expect them to reply to you

2. sharing what's worked for you or others if you see someone share their struggles (and acknowledging it does take time and effort)

3. make someone feel heard, not unwelcome or inadequate

if we want farcaster to grow, let’s be the reason someone sticks around and not the reason they leave.

shout out to @keccers.eth, @matthewb, @bradq, @afrochicks, @garrett (+ many more!) who are really good at engaging with all users!!

One thing that would be great is better tools for recommendations and algos. Maybe it's me, but I keep seeing the same names and faces everywhere. (yes, its usually the same in group). 

Where do these new sign ups go? 

Showing new joiners, or more names that are similar to another profile (just like Twitter does) would be really helpful. Would love to expand network here actually, but not even sure where to start...
