Farcaster

If you want people to join your network, you should give them a lot of ways to potentially join  

Farcaster currently only has one way to join: Warpcast via mobile 

- Can't join via desktop 
- Can't join via another app without a Warpcast mobile workaround

It's an open social graph but you can only join one way

Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Snap went years without having a non-mobile sign up path.

Fair point but a lot of crypto people use desktop at a higher rate than the average person 

If crypto people are still the main growth target then it seems like enabling a desktop sign-up path could onboard more people

All of those crypto people use Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp. You have to sign up and use your phone.

People use those apps *despite* them requiring mobile signup, not because of it. Also, those are all messaging apps, which have a lot less of a use case on desktop than a social network like farcaster.

Yes, but that leaves the question: Is the app compelling enough?

If the app is compelling enough, people will sign up on mobile.
