Today, 256,912 Farcasters have a Level 0 Spam Label, meaning they are likely to be spammers. We can't check them one by one and see if they are a false positive; there are too many. But you can save your friends from the Spam Label right now.
You can use the Dune query below to find out who YOU follow that has a Level 0 Spam Label. You will need to sign up for a FREE Dune account and then add your FID to run the query.
https://dune.com/jkavithamahesh/farcaster-followers-and-following-with-spam-label-by-fid
Scroll to the bottom and you'll see your following and who you follow. You can't do anything about who follows you, but you can investigate who you follow and take action. On the bottom right you'll see : Farcaster - Following with Spam Label - By FID; click the "label" heading to sort the table and go through the Level 0's.
Who are you following with a label? Are they honestly being spammy? Check their account and look at their recents casts. Use my guide to help your decide. Please remember this is guidance, not gospel. The spam algorithm is secret, as it should be, so this is based on behavioral patterns of accounts that get marked as spammy.
It's time to stop being polite and start being real. Farcaster is a super cool open protocol, but Warpcast, the main client 95% of us use to engage with it, is a closed sandbox with a lot of unwritten rules and culture that you have to figure out to do well.
If you 1000% believe some of the people you follow that have a "0" label are incorrect and you are willing to stake your reputation on it, please plead your case to the Warpcast team on the cast linked below.
If you see any people labelled 0 (definitely spam) that shouldn't be, please reply with their profiles here @pichi Will build something more scalable in the future, but for now this will be very helpful.
Who you follow is important. Unfollow spammy accounts. Save your friends who are mislabeled. Their Warpcast experience is awful.
Level 0 is not eligible for Warpcast rewards. When they tag people, those who were tagged don't get notified. Their replies are sent to the "Show More Replies" bucket. They are basically invisible on Warpcast. Daily Active Users is too small to lose good casters. The algorithm isn't perfect, so we have to help bring attention to those who get caught in the net.

I love this article
Testing embeds https://paragraph.com/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels https://paragraph.com/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide https://paragraph.com/@pichi/25percent-of-my-good-followers-are-gone https://paragraph.com/@pichi/
I’m going to do what. When I’m in spam, then I will beg for you to help. 🤓🤷🏽♀️ Kidding of course. Thank you for this write up! 🙏🏼
The embeds look like shit to me on mobile. Do they look like shit to you?
Looks good to me! Clicked smooth too. I minted! ;)
It looks and reads like they work!
42 $degen 😎🙏
I'm hoping to leave spam jail soon after reading this through. Or any suggestions?
GE @pichi I thought pro subscription grants casts of 10k characters right? My last cast is way shorter but still didn't display as a whole. Is there something I am missing??
Only the first 320 charters show on the timeline but you *should* be able to cast it.
Ok, thanks for the feedback. I hope that I can cast longer very soon 🙂
We can’t fix the spam algo, but you can save someone who is mislabeled. My article gives you the tools to check and the team is listening in the cast below! https://paragraph.com/@pichi/warpcast-spam-labels-and-starfish
hmm, that's a strange interpretation. meaning label 0 but its real persona, not a spamer or label 2 but still not worthy to receive rewards etc.
I don’t understand.
what I mean or do they?
I always check my label everyday and until now it's still lv2. And it says unlikely spammy behavior. Am I visible or still on show more? Please let me know, Honestly it frustrates me every day always guessing whether I'm safe or not huhhhh
You are in snow more. I did not get a notification for your reply. You should comment on V’s cast above. This should not be happening.
ok the spam label is completely gone from me 🤣 but why are the reward points still at 500?
You showed up in Show More replies which means you still have a spam label
ahhhh is this serious? 😭😭😭 so it's still a long journey to get out of the spam label
hi Pichi, i’ve also left spam for like three to four days and my friends confirmed i’m no longer in more replies. but for some reason, my rewards have been at <500 since and i really don’t know what’s wrong at this point
Me I’m still on spam 😕
Yes. You were in show more replies here.
I hope I get out soon
My label is showing unlikely to spammy but I’m still in spam what can I do pls
Thanks you so much
I am spam 2 but my comments are always in more replies. It is very discouraging
Get Out Of (Spam) Jail For Free (Kinda) https://paragraph.com/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide Thanks to @pichi for spotlighting this 🙏
Thanks for sharing!
Update, it was closer to 100,000. That’s a lot of Farcasters who: ☠︎︎ Lost their voice on the app, they are now regulated to “Show More Replies” on non channel casts ☠︎︎ No longer qualify for the Leaderboard ☠︎︎ Have their engagement considered “worthless” aka no leaderboard points are given for their engagement and their likes don’t show up https://farcaster.xyz/mvr/0x0f3b52c2
no wonder there’s only 37 of us
i wonder how much tipping affected people here. especially as many people upped their tipping amounts I'm sure they also less free with their replies and likes
I wrote about this as one possible theory. https://farcaster.xyz/pichi/0x3aa4aa73
really awkward as a new caster if i'm being honest. i don't interact with a ton of people who i'm not mutuals with (some exceptions). but if you're new, everything is a potential land mine for being spam labeled then a tipping meta can maybe teach you that "oh hey everyone is commenting on this guy's post for tips.. why not" then a meta can turn on you and.. bam.. spam label
What’s the TLDR on why that happened now in such an aggressive way?
No clue.
this will totallt bring more users to farcaster 🫠
lol, everyone I personally on boarded left last summer. When the Spam labels finally went public, I could tell that every single one of them had been given the bad Spam label for no justifiable reason whatsoever, and I cannot convince them to come back to farcaster…
same (deadass seriously) and then when the topic comes up , the fc team folks best attempt at engaging with your feedback is to ask for “specific examples” - 😭 cc @ted - not tryna merely give you shit or smth- im literally just trying to give this feedback (since it came up today and i engaged) if you want one example that especially really bothers my mind still i can think of (from like a longggg time ago - but apparently things have not gotten better still) : the great @bookofbee fc has driven away so much talent and potentially very valuable users and creators by missing the mark with these kinds of standards… - i feel like such a broken record though that it makes me feel a lil insane saying this even yet again but OK. - just in case it ever finally has impact, im writing this out yet again… up to yall - just (real, no bullshit) feedback
Farcaster should maybe look to reward those who do return and free themselves from the spam label? 🤔 Constantly growing, and encouraging active and engaged users is hard. But FC has an edge and an opportunity here, I think.
Is this saying that label 1 is apparently gone but implicitly present?
Label 1 is finally gone. It’s just binary now. Likely to be spammy (0) Unlikely to be spammy (2)
Yes, I understand that. But the fact that there are so many “Not Labeled” seems to indicate that it might be something like “Lebel 1”.
Label 1 is finally gone. It’s just binary now. Likely to be spammy (0) Unlikely to be spammy (2)

Thank you!
Ooooof 😮💨 Any word on why
No idea why it’s so aggressive.
Wow forced to exist more under radar
Wait, why did my comment appear on the surface?
To people who are constantly labelled spammy, this feels like a grind. One day you're not spammy anymore, the next day boom you fell back into the spammy bucket. I wonder what's the purpose for the team to do such drastic measures, not benefiting engagement at all
I have no idea. It’s harsh this month.
Many people do not understand how the Neinar system works and do not even think that they can get a Spam Label. Personally, I myself have not long learned about these rating mechanics) No matter how many posts I made, I barely got a couple of likes and comments, and that was rare. I still don't understand how to get subscribers)
Neynar is completely separate and not managed by the Farcaster team.
If too many people end up with the Spam label, this could negatively affect the Farcaster platform. After all, developers and Projects are looking for an environment to attract an audience, not invisible users)
Did one of your friends get marked as spam by the algorithm this week? 100,000 people got sent to Spam Jail. Want to know how to save them? https://paragraph.com/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide

This is really helpful @pichi ! Thank you. Discovered a lot of friends that apparently are suggested as spammy. I wonder how can I check if it hit me?
I got this notification so you have a good spam label.
I checked mine, most of them are artists. Seems like algorithm has something against art 😁
Thanks for share it again pichi hope we can help our fren n brothe for out from the spam jail:)
I was really helped by this 🥹Thank you very much @pichi
I’m so glad!
I am really grateful. I have many friends who support me, help me fix it. And also my gratitude is endless to you.
Very interesting 🤔. My spam label is 2, but I never see myself in the rewards rankings not showing up. And the opposite situation, many of my friends have a 0 mark, but they are in the rewards, and we are all definitely not spammers
Nice n clean! Wonderful🙌
Paragraph never opens for me
I really needed this thanks a lot
Always good to keep up with your placement with the spam labels, I know a few peeps that have had spam labels tagging you here, if you have spam label lets try to get ya off & maybe I can offer a few tips on things to avoid that may seem pretty harmless but can look like spammy behavior to the algorithm… Hit me up and I’ll try to help @patriziabarnato @hurric4n3ike @gabriellagomusic @vidaverde.eth @cvnuitter @jedxo @plaga
Do you know how we can get off that list, my friend? Because you of all people know that we are real and that we only post about our activities 100% IRL.
@pichi @ted who would be best to try and contact to get this awesome public goods account off the spam list🙏
https://paragraph.com/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide
Thanks buddy !!! I don't know whether to laugh or cry with this 😂 🤣 I am more than verifiable.It will be great to know those tip you are talking about 🫶🏽
I’m trying to find who to contact about getting real peeps off the list!!😉🤙
Thanks ezin 🙏💙
You should connect with cryptonjal, who said: "I've improved my script to detect spam more accurately and set some boundaries to prevent false positives (never 100% guarantee). It will also not detect all spam accounts, but accounts that show the same behaviour as a group." Join the conversation in the /farcasterunion channel.
Does my followING count go down if people are marked as SPAM? It would be interesting to see if I've accidentally followed potential bots in the past.
Yup. https://farcaster.xyz/pichi/0x82b8d8a2
Interesting to see I was following 5 with the label. Mostly low volume but a couple of people I still assume to be genuine.
https://paragraph.com/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide
Wow. We thought the reaper was aggressive this week and now we know. 81,151 accounts lost their good label. Be careful out there yall. You can check your label in the mini app below by @mvr He religiously tracks this data so give him a follow if you are interested in the spam labels. https://farcaster.xyz/pichi/0x3aa4aa73
Wowow that’s insane…shouldn’t be this big of a shift
Insanity
Algo chose violence this week https://farcaster.xyz/kenjiquest/0x130f5263
Instagram did spam purges in its early history in similar fashion
That's hug number
This frame shows February as the last update and my followers aren't accurate
lots of user🥲
81k is a lot. Sad thing is that a lot of genuine users were among those who lost good labels. I hope they don't get frustrated and quit FC.
Hey, what happens if our storage gets full? That’s kind of a spammy thing, right?
Thanks for sharing dear 😊
I think this is the first NFT that you can mint with your Pro Badge. Hot damn people here ship fast. @sayangel kills it again. Go follow them and love/like bomb all their casts to ensure they get some Rewards leaderboard love.
Is this utility?!?
YES! I didn’t think we’d see this for weeks but devs gonna dev!
I've been following @sayangel . But it's unrequited love. lol Well, I still minted it.
Thanks Pichi! I'm a sucker for shipping an NFT that's got some interesting mint logic :)
It’s AWESOME
legend
Cool! @toadyhawk.eth thought you would like this @sayangel would you mind sharing more about how you made this one happen?
happy to share! which part do you want to know more about?
I'm super excited by pro being onchain tbh. So many interesting mechanics which could be done with it
Awesome and funny
Fomo fomo fomo
He’s considering doing another for people who didn’t go pro!
I found one other earlier… https://farcaster.xyz/chronist/0xb7495920
Yes! Another fantastic one!
Fantastic one, thanks for sharing ✨
you caved!
I needed WiFi. We chatted for 4 hours on the Union last night and I didn’t want to rush.
Got mine!
Woot! It’s so smooth to mint here now. I love it.
I have many ideas on what to do here now, other than my current postings, bc of how everything I’ve interacted with has gone so smoothly. Feel very inclined to try and build here 👀
Thanks for sharing. Minted one!
Woot! Glad you got one!
Nice 🔥🔥🔥
HUGE changes to Spam. Spam is now binary. The algorithm is now set to likely to be spammy or unlikely to be spammy. The weird limbo level 1 level is gone and good riddance! Half of accounts on the network don’t have a label (probably inactive). Resources below on helping friends who are mislabeled.
https://paragraph.com/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels
https://paragraph.com/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide
37 users and they have spam label
Maybe this will bring back the people who left a while ago. A lot of them were marked as spam about a year ago.
I hope so!!!!
Hi pichi, not related to spam but I just wanted to ask if the $anime token is still okay? Thank you 😊
All the liquidity was drained from dumping.
Hiyya auntyyy, it's been a while! Not sure if you've noticed since the last time I complained bout the /anime-manga token it's still not active 🤔 You sure backend is good? The charts on gecko terminal has been frozen and can't be swapped out only in 🤔
Looks like all the liquidity is gone from dumping.
Sweet, let's get back to spamming!
lol, I’m waiting to see how verifications play a role and if they change the metrics! Glad we have a new baseline.
yeah will be interesting for sure. I did all the things lol
Some accounts that are free from spam still has their comments under “show more replies”
Hmm. That shouldn’t be happening. Worth posting examples to /warpcast Also, the labels get updated daily, but the public data set only gets updated once a week so it’s possible that they look OK in the public data set but they really have a bad label in reality
Thank you
I've seen a lot of my friends here who got spam label "1" and "0" even though they just joined a month or a year. This guide was made by pichi to help farcasters be jail free. It won't be easy and we don't even know where to start guiding those who were labeled as spam. You may use this as a guide and make sure to cast accordingly.

tl;dr Warpcast team says to “cast a lot*” to succeed—but the * matters. Spamming low-engagement posts won’t help; 75-80% of casts get ignored. To win on Warpcast (and qualify for rewards/airdrops), your content needs engagement. 🔹 Prioritize quality over quantity—engagement beats sheer volume. 🔹 If your casts get zero interaction, rethink your approach. 🔹 Not a creator? Be a curator—share valuable content with context. 🔹 Text-based posts perform best, even for art—add a story or insight. 🔹 Warpcast rewards interaction and experimentation. Adapt, engage, and play the game. Don’t want to? You don’t have to. Farcaster is open and infinite. Use another client. Ignore all of this.
We talked about it today on a session we did for latam with Ted.
Oooo! I’d love to hear more!!!
Noted, thank you so much for this information pichi!
So good 😊
Appreciate everything you are doing and clarify for non-OG users! 🙏

These tips, to me, are the most valuable content on Warpcast Thank you Pichi
Thanks Alot for this info , I was casting my As* off but now I know what to do .

Is this normal ? Never got points ever Wondering if there are other ppl who don’t score any points, if so, why ?
So it was the same for me for a long time and I think the scoring only happens when the people replying have a high enough social rank
Mh I feel it’s more because i’m a spam… Last social interactions I got are mainly from high social rank accounts Also my « probably spam » label will have a year soon…. Sent an e-mail one week ago, got the automatic reply I guess… Who can I contact and who can help me?? Really anoying putting efforts in something that ignore you and to fed with « have good engagement, cast a lot but don’t spam… » etc What am I doing wrong ? Why can’t I manage this ? Why it’s centralized decision, arbitrary, Also have a screen of @dwr.eth reset an account that complained not having a badge…. That’s unfair, plans got changed from this situation, making me in an inconfortable position…
Really not sure who to contact … would have suggested @dwr.eth as well ! Maybe @anemale.eth can help ! Or @pichi she always know who to contact !

Thanks tho for sharing
hmmmmmmmmm🤔
Wasn’t scoring some points for awhile too Was just because I wasn’t too active But when I became alittle bit active and vice versa I got some reward last week.
But I’m active I guess :/
Yeah but I think to boost your score you’ll have to reach audience with bigger numbers ig.
スパムの話がまた浮上してるので付け加えて言うと、確信をもってスパムではない人の救助方法がある。ただし、これをするには自分の信用をかけてやることなので、連帯責任とまでは言わないけれど覚悟をもって「この人はスパムではありません」と強く言える根拠が必要となります。 @pichi の「Save Farcasters from Spam Prison」のParagraghからのスクショですがVarun氏に懇願することを推奨しており、↓の引用先のスレへと案内されています。 なので、本当にSpam Labelに納得してない人は以下の対応の上で開発陣にSpam Label 2のキャスターにリクエストを入れてもらうとよいと思います。 ・携帯設定でのVerificationで自分のScore Levelを1000ポイント以上（Level 1以上）に設定する ・自分がスパム的活動をしてないか、手を胸に当て再確認する。 ・V氏に申請してもらう

How many of these folks cast consistently? (5 days in a row!) 11,558 How many of them are considered quality casters? (Level 2 spam labels) 2,110 https://dune.com/queries/4742322 Epic query by @mvr
Good Starter Pack idea right there
Oooo! I will think on this!
Cast everyday yet still my engagment is SHIT
I don’t think we really have the numbers we need and even with notifications on for people I still feel like I miss their casts and miss notifications!!!! I feel crazy some days. And I can never tell if people see my posts.
i see you pichi 👁️ 👁️
mine too, it's worse than ever and I can barely even make it in the top 1000 for rewards anymore 😂🙈
I feel that for sure it’s so segratated again and back to reading/audo book for @cdixon.eth honestly it seems that /warpcast is moving to the corporate models vs the web3 concept. TLDR this book is taking me forever to listen to
And you are a rockstar so wtf over? Ur not alone
it's even worse for smaller accounts (like mine) unless they're doing it on purpose that you really need to reply guy 24/7 to be seen also different timezones makes it much more difficult
pretty much yea replying and engaging yet honestly I’m lucky to get 5 likes or 2 comments on a cast these days and that is saying something. Mainly my cohort has moved on or found many pain points here when I keep trying to reach out engage find new circles to met folxs and continue to do my usual routine it becomes so hard and way more effort than I have time for these days.
This is how a lot of people feel like on this app. It's gatekept as a mfer
The algo is harsh. It really likes text based posts the most and that’s not my style at all.
Been fighting and working for visability for myself and others since I came back to this app so at this point I want to say it’s been almost a year. I’ll be like that cockroach that wont quit. https://heroes.fandom.com/wiki/Cockroach
U are not alone
Tbf FC is the only social media I use and I don’t cast everyday.
That’s a harder use case to track!
Sounds like a good starter pack!
Farcaster seems to be using DAU as a KPI, but if they don’t continuously analyze the data while filtering out bots, they might misinterpret the actual situation. The most important thing should be the user experience. Lately, the home feed feels off. I wonder if they’re tracking impressions.
It feels weird to me but I changed time Zones so I blame it on that.
I’m at 269 on /appreciation channel! Trying to get to 365! 😊
Recently 3 of my friends who joined new got spam level of 0 but they inly joined here few weeks ago .How can I help them now ?
https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide
So I’m 1/11,558. Thanks for that stat. I’ve Been wondering bout this. I know we got rid of some bots but followers dropped and engagement at lowest levels for me at least 🤷🏽♂️
Posting everyday but didn't get engagement🙂 It's realy hurt
I didn’t get this notification. You probably have a spam label. https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels
Yeah I know about the spam label. But pichi, my account last update on spam label was 2024🙂. You can check my recently post. I tried to avoid all those things that will make me spammer. can you kindly tell me why my account spam label last update only 2024.?
The Unwritten Rules of Farcaster (a thread 1/11) 1. Don’t ask for follows—most users ignore or avoid those who do. 2. Engagement matters—treat it as a social network, not just a broadcasting platform. 3. The algorithm prioritizes engagement—interact with content you like to train your feed. 4. Give likes freely to support content you enjoy. 5. Reply thoughtfully—generic responses don’t add value and may be ignored. 6. Tag people with purpose—avoid tagging non-followers without a good reason. 7. Use channels to connect—they’re a safe space for engaging beyond your followers. 8. If you’re being ignored, check your spam label—many won’t see your replies if you’re at Level 0 or 1. 9. Rules are looser with friends—banter freely, but remember relationships take time to build. 10. Farcaster is a unique, close-knit community—engage authentically, be patient, and you’ll find your place.
(2/11) 1. Don’t ask for follows. People don’t like that. Most casters ignore anyone with F4F or anything like that in their profile. Some of this behavior stems from many moons ago when you needed 200/400 followers to get an “Active Badge” and then a good ratio to get a Power Badge. Many airdrop farmers flooded the network with F4F posts that were nothing but spam in the hopes of being eligible for airdrops. This soured most of the network on F4F. You may be new and tempted to join in on these chains, but it will be detrimental to your experience here. Who you follow matters and by following people you give them power and your own reputation. Choose who you follow wisely.
(3/11) 2. It’s a social network, not social media. Broadcast only doesn’t work well here. People want to chat so make your posts easy to comment on and engage with. Ask @warpee.eth about the difference and why it’s important.
(4/11) 3. The home feed algorithm is shaped by engagement. If you want to see more of something in your feed, interact with it. If you scroll by and don’t interact, the algorithm assumes you don’t like it and will stop showing it to you. It’s why you probably see the same people over and over in your home feed and not others. Teach it what you like. Use the following tab and scroll channels to broaden your content. Smash the like button
That’s one of the things that I most like here. 💚
Nicely framed..
Hello @pichi, you're absolutely right. The key difference between a social network and social media is the level of interaction and engagement. Farcaster is a social network where the focus is on building relationships and community. It's not about one-way broadcasts, but rather, it's treated like a public group chat. As Adrienne and NounishProf explained on GM Farcaster, Module 6, "Reply more than like, yes. You should cast your original content, but get into the replies. Ask people questions, engage, be authentic. If you treat Farcaster that way, you are more likely to be successful and have a lot of fun while you're doing it" (27:38, https://youtu.be/eMGf-Q33WxE?t=1658). In essence, the focus is on interaction. You're not just broadcasting messages into the ether. You're part of an ongoing conversation, an active participant in a community. This is the essence of Farcaster. Hope this helps, @pichi!
The F4F behaviour (and also "I''m giving away X, rules: follow me and tag 2 friends:"), also feels very Web2 to me, where you need a lot of followers to qualify for potential advertising earnings. Farcaster is built different.
I feel like most of the “tag X number of people have turned out to be rugs or scummy. I definitely understand wanting your project to go viral but I can’t think of an example where it’s worked out here.
Do people still do the F4F thing? I haven’t seen that in quite a while…

So it's like Valentine's Day?
White Day is celebrated annually on March 14, one month after Valentine's Day, when men give reciprocal gifts to women who gave them gifts on Valentine's Day. It began in Japan in 1978; its observance has spread to several other East Asian regions like China, Taiwan, South Korea and countries worldwide.
