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. 91% of you failed to figure it out and got a spam label and now you are invisible. No one see your tags. Only your followers see your casts. Few people see your replies. You feel ignored and don't know how to get out of this purgatory. You must understand why you got this label and how to avoid it in the future.
We all know spam when we see it: viagra ads, a Nigerian prince who just needs a small favor, constant repetitive text. We, and algorithms, are pretty good at detecting this. But Warpcast isn't looking for Spam, they are looking for users who are being SPAMMY and this is a key difference. It's not about if you are a Bot or Not. It's not about proof of humanity. It's about if the algo thinks you are being spammy and labels you as such.
This is the million dollar question. Here is the official cast about making spam labels public and the definition of Spam and Spammy behavior by the Warpcast team. The Github contains a JSON file of all the FIDS the team has labeled. At first release, the raw data set says: { likely_spammy_users: "236865", might_spammy_users: "200705", unlikely_spammy_users: "44054" } which means 91% of active users on Warpcast are labeled as spammy (This data was from January 23, 2025 when the labels were first made public).
Note: The algorithm was run again on February 20, 2025 and the new numbers are:
Likely spammy users: 232,867 (Level 0: Worst Label)
Might spammy users: 171,103(Level 1: Limbo Label)
Unlikely spammy users: 90,653 (Level 2: Best Label)
~82% of casters are labeled as spammy. This is MUCH better than a month ago! Almost 40,000 casters got upgraded to Level 2!
We're making the Warpcast spam dataset public. Over 400,000 accounts have been processed by our model, which determines the accounts that are most likely to generate inauthentic content or unwanted notifications. https://github.com/warpcast/labels
From the Warpcast Team:
Warpcast's spam models predict the probability that an account might exhibit spammy behavior. Spam is defined as behavior that intentionally generates notifications for other users in a way that benefits the author and annoys users who receive them. Some examples include replying with generic llm generated responses, bulk following accounts, posting irrelevant or generally offensive responses to other people's posts. Spamminess is not related to whether an account is being controlled by a human. There are many bots that are not spammy and many humans that are.
Our models make these predictions based on the combination of a number of factors including the account's historical activity, social graph, message content and the moderation actions that other users have taken on their account. No single factor will get an account labelled as spam.
There isn't ONE single action you can do to be labeled as spam. It's a combination of many factors, but the above text is purposefully vague. If we know the exact mechanisms the team is using in their model, the spammers will learn to avoid them. The best way to see what the algo thinks is spam is to look at a sample of accounts that are not spammy and a sample that have spam labels.
I choose to look at the Top 100 OpenRank accounts by engagement, the Top 100 Organic FarScore (FarRank) aka Airstack accounts, the top 100 accounts by Neynar Score, and the top 500 accounts on the Warpcast Rewards Leaderboard. All of these data sets are publicly accessible and give us great insight. While the Warpcast Spam Algorithm is secret, these public data sets are a good approximation for high quality accounts and correlate highly with each other.
You can look up your FID directly in the GitHub JSON file linked above, or you can use one of these two frames on Warpcast:
Compez's Frame is beautifully designed and let's you check friend's spam labels as well. He tries to make it a little more user friendly by color coding your status, but his language does not match 1:1 with the JSON file in the GitHub causing some confusion on the timeline. Your goal is to see Green on his frame and be labeled as "Low Risk: Unlikely to engage in spammy behavior." Anything else means you have a Warpcast Spam Label.
🎉 Announcing Warpcast Labels frame beta 🚀 🧵/5 We’re thrilled to introduce Warpcast Labels frame, a powerful new feature designed to bring clarity and transparency to account behavior on Farcaster. With over 400,000 accounts analyzed by FC team advanced spam detection models, Warpcast Labels help users identify accounts that are most likely to engage in spammy or inauthentic behavior. Let’s dive in! 🔥 @v @dwr.eth @horsefacts.eth https://warpcast.com/v/0x04ad8f78 https://labels.genyframe.xyz
MVR's frame is an exact pull from the Warpcast data. Level 2 means you are "unlikely spam". Level 1 or 0 is a Warpcast spam label.
I Am A 2 What about you? https://spammer.hamst.art/frames/spammer/230238/iam
If you have a spam label you need to stop what you are doing immediately and completely change your behavior on Warpcast right now. Spend the next hour cleaning up your feed. Think of your personal feed as your Warpcast resume. Make it look good and cast differently going forward.
Most spammers feeds are full of frames. Allowance frames, game frames, whatever the new Farcaster meta is. Frames are fun and viral but you are overdoing it. Oversharing frames looks Spammy. If you are casting mostly frames or casting the same frames everyday, you look spammy. Top Casters rarely cast frames. When they do cast them, they usually write about why they chose to cast the frame and tell you why you should use it/try it out or give a shout out to the person who built it. They are sharing something cool, but they usually share it once and they are overly cautious in sharing. You can share frames, but your profile should not be littered with them.
The best way to see what the algo loves is to study the Warpcast Rewards Leaderboard and draw your own conclusions. Look at the Top 10 on any given day. Look back 7 days on their casts. How many frames did Top Casters share?
*@V aka the CoFounder of Farcaster shared some clarifications: "Posting frames is not bad"
Generally good advice, but I want to correct a few misconceptions: 1. Posting frames is not bad 2. Recasting is not bad The best advice is to post original thoughts. It's OK to quote, reply to, tag and engage with someone when you have something useful to add. https://warpcast.com/pichi/0xa84514e6
Most spammers feeds are also full of recasts with very little original content. Your feed needs to be mostly original content. When you hit the recast button 100 times a day, you look spammy. You can recast others cast, just not excessively.
Top casters quote cast. They add color, insight, or shout outs to the things they cast. They layer their own original content on top of the cast to make it more relevant to their own followers. They promote others, but with context. Quote casting is the HIGHEST honor on Farcaster (and the Original Caster gets notified about the quote cast in a way that stands out in their notifications) so sharing this way is a great way to get others attention.

80% of your timeline needs to be original content. Don't steal content from the web and post it as your own. If you do this in highly curated channels, Top Casters are going to block and mute you and NEVER interact with you. It's better to not cast at all than to cast slop. 20% of your casts can be quotes, recasts, and the occasional frame thrown in, but most of it must be unique on the network. Your home feed needs to be engaging and I need to be able to make a judgment call on you in one minute. When people look into your feed to decide to follow you, this is what they see. Make sure its good. Quality is key.
If you have a spam label, people who don't follow you don't see your tags anyway. You are wasting your time. Do not cast a frame that excessively tags people. Do not cast a top level cast and randomly tag people. The algorithm hates excessive tagging and punishes it swiftly.
Tag your friends all you want. But anyone who doesn't follow you is a stranger. Do not tag them. They don't see you tag and therefore don't reply. When they don't reply, you look even more spammy.
Use channels to your advantage. Engage with people who don't follow you in channels and respond authentically to your content. This builds trust and they may start replying back. Once you have a rapport, you can engage with them more if they keep engaging back (likes OR comments). If they don't respond, move on or try again once your spam label is upgraded.
If you see a cast on your home feed that doesn't have a channel tag and the person who casted it doesn't follow you, skip it. DO NOT REPLY to it. The person who casted it won't get a notification of your reply anyway. They most likely will never see it. Your reply is orphaned: it gets zero likes or comments and looks like SPAM.
You shouldn't engage with Top Casters who don't follow you back, unless you see them casting into a channel that you are also a member of. Engaging with them outside of channels will probably get you a spam label. It's not worth it to try to get their attention. Join their hypersub or a channel they moderate. Unfollow them. Do not engage with people who don't engage back.
But, the rules are different in channels. If you are a member of that channel, everyone will see your comment. You have an equal shot of being seen. Use this to your advantage. Find well moderated, well curated channels who are building community. Spend most of your time in these channels. Engage authentically with other members of the channel and slowly build your network. YOU CANNOT GET A SPAM LABEL PARTICIPATING IN CHANNELS. Lean into channels. Find topics you are interested in and contribute.
Most Farcasters WANT authentic connections, but they are hesitant to interact with people who behave in a spammy or bot like way.
Many people with spam labels are non native English speakers. Many use Chat GPT and other AI tools to "fix" their English. Do NOT do this. It makes you sound like an LLM Bot. It's way better to say something in English and also say it in your native language to give English speakers a heads up that you aren't a native speaker. I don't care that your English isn't perfect. I care that you are genuine. If people think you are am LLM bot, they will ignore you. If they are unsure, they will ignore you. When people ignore you and your comments are orphaned with no engagement, you look like SPAM.
When interacting with a stranger on Warpcast (aka someone who doesn't follow you), you need to use full sentences. gm, hi ser, and random emojis look like spam and are not appropriate. Do this with your friends (aka people who follow you) not with everyone else. Automated accounts engage in this behavior, so most casters ignore them. The more your are ignored, the more you look like spam. It's better to not reply at all than to reply with low level slop. Do not attach some random photo or some AI generated nonsense to a reply to stand out. This just makes you look even more like a bot, and everyone will ignore you. When no one engages with you, the algorithm thinks you are spammy and will label you appropriately.
Deboosting Engagement Rings We're seeing more rings of users promoting "slop" - typically generic images produced by llm or copied from other places on the internet several times a day. Will be aggressively deboosting these with algo changes and also marking such users with stronger spam labels.
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 the box on the left hand side 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. If they are being spammy, unfollow them. If they are marked incorrectly, help them get out of Spam Jail using the resources below.
The spam algorithm runs daily, but we only see public updates on Thursday evening (US Pacific Time). If you change your behavior today, maybe in a month you will be re-labeled. We don't know. This is the first time the labels have been made public, but all hope it not lost. Change now and hope for the best. You can also create a new account and start over following these rules.
There is a small chance you are labeled incorrectly. The algorithm is far from perfect. If you believe you haven't done any of the above and shouldn't have this label, get a Farcaster friend who is willing to stake their reputation on this and have them plead your case to the Warpcast team. Remember, the Warpcast team won't see your tags or comments because you have a spam label.
If you want to participate in Warpcast Rewards, you have to avoid a Spam Label of 0. You aren't counted as a follower and your comments are basically invisible to most casters. More developers are going to take these labels into account over the next few months, so it's important to do everything you can to stay in the god graces of the algorithm. Being "a real human" is not enough. You need to respect the culture of Warpcast and cast in an authentic way.
Level 0 is not eligible. Level 1 is eligible if you get enough engagement
Warpcast will remove "likely to be spam" accounts from follow counts soon. Likes and recasts from spammy accounts have been removed from counts for several weeks. We're now going to remove follow counts from these accounts as well.
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.
This is @V's original thread about the Warpcast's Teams thinking about the spam labels and how they built the algorithm. It is required reading IMHO.
Some thoughts on spam on Farcaster and how we tackle it. First question - What is spam? The naive answer is "automated activity" but this isn't right. Over 75% of spam we find comes from real humans who have phones, wallets and x accounts. The best definition is "inauthentic activity". It's that feeling you get when you realize that someone who is following, liking or replying to is doing it to benefit themselves and not because they're interested in you.

Thank you Pichi, we always learn from you..We followed your rules but the problem remains in synchronization. My last synchronized L is 28 December.
Давно столько не читал! Даже интересно было, спасибо!
Great analysis and advice, OiChi. Will share it in the poetry channel to help people be more effective and fun casters.
Why would it be so difficult to have a success guide for new user onboarding new users with a card like this in the onboarding flow? @compez.eth how did you arrive at these for best practices? Was it in a cast or something?
Can we stop encouraging them from quote casting. Anytime someone quote casts me that I don’t know I almost always assume it’s spam
It’s about 6 months out of date. The meta has changed. https://paragraph.com/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels
Change your behavior ! I love that !
big facts
It’s my article :) click the blue link
Such a gangster
Im guilty af of #5
This needs pinning somewhere for all new users, i was totally unaware of it for a week 😂
I spoke too soon 😭 they found me... I wasn't sure at first but their feeds all look similar, the one with the pro badge had me fooled for sometime although I had a feeling something was up. Any detectives round here to help confirm or deny that these accounts are bots/spam? I would hate to falsely accuse but also, would be a nice eye opener they are just new and doing what they can with what they know.
If you are unsure and their profiles look suspect, mute them. If you can clearly tell they are automated, Block Them.
It's looking suspect... I'll triple check then I'll mute 🥲 hopefully they aren't real. Gotta keep our purple home clean & safe! I need there to be a list of accounts we've muted, so I can sift through them to triple check after some time has passed... For my heart lol.
It’s next to impossible to find accounts you’ve muted. I keep a list. Most people probably don’t.
Please dont, im a real dude i swear 😂
Lol I'm happy you responded because as you did, I went back to your profile & I spotted your cast about the energy card your son pulled! We had a small exchange too 😂 Sorry to lump you in but I had to scroll quite a bit past all the "junk" to find the one human looking cast that I just so happened to interact with 😆🤦🏾♀️ Pichi is a legend when it comes to quality casting & what will send you on a one-way ticket to spam jail lol. My one advice is, only share the things that you actively use/participate in or people/things you believe. Your home page is representative of you, so be mindful of what shows up there 🫶🏾
I’m going to give you some tough love. Your timeline looks super spammy and you are indistinguishable from the automated accounts here. https://paragraph.com/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels

Check my feed cast, pls
I've read it thanks bro... if only it could remove the spam label, I would buy it.. lol 😆
GN my eyes are bleeding but it seems like I’m the perfect FC user
gn congrats on your score its very high, not sure if it was real but i saw one that was like 1.05 on here a bit back from a big account like borodutch or someone like that idk
As far as I know the cap is 1 I just checked and you have it! Well done 🤝
oh thanks so much i thought mine was 0.95 and cheers 🤝
I also thought 1.05 could be done. I’m 0.9. Wonder what I do to increase
make sure to not follow spam accounts
idk but hope you're able to
HUGE👀🖤
I need to grind more for that 0.01 missing 🫡🖤
Crazy😍
Good job sir !!! Ur post is good and got some engagement so u deserve the 0.01 point u don't have !!
I need that extra 0.01 hahaha
Goodnight dear
Farcaster Pro is an important step forward in making the protocol sustainable. Raising a bunch of money from investors and spending it is not sustainable. It’s a tactic not a strategy. If the protocol can charge a fee that people are willing to pay annually, then it will have budget to spend on what is important to the protocol—independent of any one company. We’re starting with a pragmatic, optimized for speed approach today where we are centrally collecting, deciding (via an algo) and distributing rewards. In the next few weeks, subscribing to pro will be onchain and permissionless. In the longer term, ideally we can figure out how move rewards to something more akin Bitcoin or Ethereum block rewards where funds are collected and distributed entirely at the protocol. We’re not close to this and not a near term priority, but it’s where we would like to get to. (Solve the problems in the correct sequence.)
What's the advantage to going onchain and permissionless? That features can be implemented by 3rd party apps?
Yes. Will explain what makes a good pro feature in a separate post later today.
👏👏👏 Good vision for funding a protocol- work out the details as we go.
it will be super exciting watching you all work on solving that problem at network scale
this is an exciting step forward! do you have any ideas on how to incentivize other farcaster clients to support pro features? or is this not necessary?
https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x68cd7444
so you're saying there will be a new 10k collection every year. got it
farcaster is the place to be for builders and creators, such a great choice
when Farcaster DUNA
this is the right sequence. also, if goal is distributing rewards for contributions at the protocol level, why not also adopt a similar tokenomic to Ethereum/Bitcoin for fees/distribution? I've been working on a Value Consensus model so may be able to contribute to that..
cc @ericjuta
Any chance on getting bigger storage with pro?
The goal is to make storage as cheap as possible.
Such a cool discovery @0xphunk.eth thx for sharing. Also found out that my content is valued as high quality still I have low and medium influence and engagement… can some of the pros on here educate me how to get better at the FC game?
@pichi has written a lot of really good stuff on this topic. This one is about spam labels but it still Includes good info about the algo https://paragraph.com/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels
Oh wow nice, thank you so much! FC is so different from all the others that I used to have some growth on that I am sometimes getting a bit frustrated cause I love FC much more than any of the others tbh ... well maybe I still love TikTok a tiny bit more even though I only recently started there 😅 - but just caus it has Creator Search Insights... can we have that here 👀
A lot has happened this week and there are a few things you cannot afford to miss: 1. Farcaster Pro Subscriptions are coming Tuesday. $120 for 1 year. Payable with USDC on Base. An NFT will come with them…eventually. It’s the same art for the first 10,000 subscribers. I do not think we will hit 10,000. We would have fought for 1,000 but the team heard that feedback and expanded it. On day 1, the only thing you get is a badge. It will be purple. Eventually you will get expanded casts length and 4 photos instead of 2, but there is no ETA. The proceeds will go to fund the weekly rewards leaderboard and the developer rewards for mini apps. It’s 100% optional. It will not help your engagement. It will not help your reach. It won’t help your spam label. It won’t help you get verified. It’s to show support for Farcaster and that’s it. Monthly will come later. You can speculate on the value of 10,000 copies of the same NFT art. Think about it and be sure you understand it.
2. New Verifications are coming and they are important. Verification WILL affect how you show up in replies and your engagement/reach and therefore rewards and potentially your airdrops (imagine some teams will only target verified users). You will need to verify 2 out of 3 of the following: phone number, Twitter account older than 18 months, GitHub older than 18 months. Other verifications will come in time. The team heard feedback and said there will also be a category for Farcaster natives who have proven themselves to be good casters. There is little detail here but they did say if you have been earning rewards, there is a good chance you will meet the threshold. This WILL affect your engagement so it’s going to be critical to watch. V has been casting about this the most. It’s changed a lot since the initial announcement so it’s worth reading up on because this will have deep affects on the network.
You don’t need to buy a Pro Badge. You absolutely need to have a good spam label. You absolutely need to do your best to get all the verifications you can. Happy Memorial Day and long live Farcaster.
When can I get a response from the Warpcast team to help with this spam mislabeling? Maybe, instead of onboarding new users, just try to maintain the current ones? I would really appreciate it if someone could tag the team to help with this issue.
Sorry you’re dealing with this. I’m even more sorry to see that this still an ongoing issue.
Thank you, the most frustrating part is the lack of response from the team. Whatever I try they just don't care.
I’ve had the same experience. I was onboarding people last year. The team ignored me every time I voiced concerns or asked questions. Eventually, everyone I brought here was marked as a spammer or had their wallets drained and left the app because no one from Farcaster or Coinbase would respond.
@v @dwr.eth Hi, @he is one of the old member of Warpcast and has a good rank, he makes good posts. Many people who make good casts have this problem, if possible please check and fix it 🙏
Appreciate the support buddy
Idk anyone but read some stuff about that label and how it works. It moght help! Helped me become 1! https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels
I went through this document, but didn't work for me. Thank you for your response anyway
Great 👍🏻 1
Rule 4 Don’t mass tag people. Maybe @rodeodotclub posts are an exception because artists actually love when you share our art. If you are tagging 10 people, why should I look at it? Do even matter? Why am I being tagged? Remember how this looks in notifications. It looks spammy. https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels
yes, @rodeodotclub is an exception because they are intentional - you're sharing someone's art and want them to know. i love when i am tagged in a rodeo post.
Super important. Verifications are great to do, but you still can’t be spammy. Verifications alone won’t save you from a spam label! What is spammy? https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels
spammers are more willing to do verifications
I think so too. They are hella motivated.
What’s a verification
How do I finally get rid of my spam label. Never behaved spammy and don’t have any clue why I even earned it, besides playing farville and therefore sharing their frame
I added two new monsters to my collection
Need more 2083 $degen
So beautiful 😍 50 $DEGEN
Thanks! ☺️
So cuteee 😍 50 $degen Hi dear, quick question I just Labeled as a spammer by mistake or maybe because I was engaging with spammers do you have any idea what should I do or How can I remove this label? Thanks 🙏 @elisabeth
TY! I don’t know much about getting rid of the new spam label. I know that @pichi made a few casts about it. The best advice I can give you is to check out her profile and casts. I hope that you get rid of your label asap 🤞🏻 100 👏
Thank you so much dear😍
https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels
Hi gorgeous @pichi I just labeled as a spammer mistakenly and also I was on leader board for a month what should I do? My verification is level 1 as well:)
My account was on top 200 :) Can you help me how should I remove it please? @pichi
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
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
Good Starter Pack idea right there
Oooo! I will think on this!
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.
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 ?

I’m at 269 on /appreciation channel! Trying to get to 365! 😊
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.?
GE pichi Have be busy all day I think by educating people the number of spam level should reduce
I hope so!
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.
(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 @gmfc101 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
(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.
(5/11) 4. Give your likes generously to content you enjoy. Don’t hold back. Technically you pay for likes via storage. Don’t worry about it. No one cares if you run out of them and the hubs delete your likes from 6 months ago. Now matters most. Don’t buy more storage just to like either.
