Are we casting better- or are we just better at the engagement games? 2025 brought the Warpcast Rewards Leaderboard to the ecosystem and it’s definitely changed the way people engage. DAU haven’t really changed. The numbers in January 2025 and May 2025 are pretty much the same, but there’s a drastic difference and how many orphaned casts are on the network. Orphaned casts are casts that get zero engagement: no likes, no replies, no recast. In January about 80% of cast on the network fit into this bucket, but today that number has changed dramatically and only 60% of the cast on the network are now orphaned. Has the leaderboard caused this behavioral shift? Have people learned to cast better and caught onto the Farcaster culture more quickly?

Looks like more than half the daily casts but the same amount of unique FIDs casting. So clearly same people but less casts from the active FIDs every day. Same amount of DAU but about 35% of the casts from 6 months ago.

Kinda crazy because the team is encouraging folks to cast more, but people are casting less. But maybe it’s quality >quantity? It’s hard to see from my little bubble. I mute so many keywords and hang out in channels so I have a lot of control over what I see. I’m not an average caster so I have no idea if others feeds are actually better.

PS. This should be a top level cast or a quote cast. It’s too buried in the replies and it’s an excellent point to kick off more discussion. I hate how buried replies are here.
