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.
