The only way to grow on farcaster is to reply to people, individually, with meaningful replies, but unfortunately a lot of people don’t want to put in the work I’ve yet to see someone make this list and not have a good following It’s a very different audience than CT https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/6d7ad4e2-91d3-43d1-ec30-2c4a7d1e5300/original https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0xf1bd3734

I very much recognize myself in 1–4. Never really used Twitter, don’t live in SF or NYC, am not a founder nor a dev, I don’t hang out with Dan nor Varun. Just got in early-ish and stuck around, casting consistently about what I like. It’s worked out well and I’m grateful for it

11. Platform Improvement Feedback: Vinay Débrou voiced concerns about Farcaster's insular nature, sparking a critical discussion.
Unpopular opinion: Warpcast is very circle-jerk oriented at this point. Despite this issue being raised by many people here, it seems like the team doesnt find it important. https://x.com/safetyth1rd/status/1808419820322660481?s=46
12. Community Growth Mechanics: Dan Romero explained the algorithm behind the auto-follow list, inviting suggestions for improvements.
Virtually all of the people on Farcaster with large audiences: 1. Don't have large audiences elsewhere (Farcaster is their first time with a large audience) 2. Didn't know me or Varun and didn't know each other. The "Farcaster OG scene" is net new creation of Farcaster. 3. Were early and stuck around when everyone made fun of Farcaster (and people still do) 4. Continued to cast interesting stuff, casted in channels when we suggested people cast in channels 5. Warpcast onboarding asks all users for their interests 6. Based on the interests, we pair the account with an initial set of follows 7. There are 200+ accounts on the list, weighted toward accounts that get the most engagement / drive retention, but a large group of people benefit 8. On our list to improve, but the reality is outside of "I should be on the list!" haven't seen any concrete proposals to improve https://warpcast.com/vinaydebrou.eth/0x5458eaa7
13. Presidential Election Buzz: Mleejr shared intriguing stats on Polymarket's presidential election bets, underlining significant wagering trends.

14. Community Games: Raul Onastool launched a rescue mission for Brian, urging users to collaborate in a fun, interactive game.
Guys we need your help! Brian is trapped at SEC Headquarters as we speak. Gary has him locked away in the interrogation room. Thankfully, a group of incredibly skilled hackers from a group called the /1337 Skulls were able to tap into the intercoms system at the SEC and give all of us the ability to communicate with Brian directly. Here's the catch: we can only command Brian to move using the four cardinal directions: N, E, S, W. When asking Brian to move, go to the /brians-rescue channel and enter the command: !movebrian <dir> If your command is correct, Brian gets one step closer to the exit. If any of you enter an incorrect command, Brian will be sent back to the start. Work together to help Brian escape Gary's evil clutches. But the last of you to enter the correct command wins the entire round. Good luck! https://warpcast.com/hk/0xcdf841d4
