Warpcast onboarding flow as of August 1, 2024 I've seen an uptick in casts talking about improving onboarding for non-crypto-people. So here's a live onboarding I just did. I'd say it's pretty close to any web2 experience with the exception of upfront payment. You'll notice: 1. Minimal crypto UX — we use in-app purchases and Passkeys 2. The majority of onboarding interests used to populate the initial algo feed are non-crypto. 3. Since we no longer do initial follows, the initial feed nudges new users to follow more people. (Remember, the number one reason people churn is not enough content in their feed.) 4. Aside: crypto people don't sync contact book but non-crypto people do (because every other social app does this). However, that means the new people don't immediately find people they know the network.

Smooth, I like it. You’ve probably answered this elsewhere, so apologies: What about recommending channels (tied to interests that you already have in there) instead of or in addition to users? If I’m new around here, topics/channels may be more familiar than people, more quickly populating the feed and giving me exposure to those with shared interests. Also resolves the empty space at the top.

We will do that once we have enough channels that we can reliably give recommendations from (without following people). Most channels have too little content. But then a bunch of channels have too much content (not enough signal). Working on improving that. We've found the best way to get someone to retain is they follow enough people.
