I wanted to use this mini app as a way to measure fc ‚DAU‘. This „game“ is rather boring, but requires continuous activity to increase the numbers. So assuming all accounts in the leaderboard ranking are human my thinking was that to see at what position one would be after x days. The stop point is when ones rank no longer rises ( easily ). Why? inactive users won‘t click any more. Ofc: you don’t know how many human users a) never used it b) stopped using it. The App was and is in the trending list though. So yes probably this mini app can be botted, tx sign inclusive. Either i know now that there exist about 350 bots doing this. One extreme. Or 350 humans who frequently use this mini app the other extreme . I don’t know the number of (human) ‚DAU‘ which don‘t use it or stopped using it or use it only rarely. So well it’s only 1 number , still app in the top 10 trending. Does this seem small? It’s more than 37, though😂 A good social metric? Unlikely

This week i learned that one can create ones own feeds in bluesky. 😮 Not that filtering by regex does magic, but it‘s often sufficiently good and more important no algo which shows you posts, no ‚trending‘ posts. Zero of it. Admittedly with the feed I created it only showed 3 posts [ last 7 days which is the max timeframe depending on filter blocks ] but a honest result. One immediately will notice in the preview posts with 10 or more hashtags. I guess without many exceptions this is all “bot”. The point is this is not feasible on other apps, yes feasible with fc in theory but would require an own client. A currently missed opportunity for fc ? Caveat: 1000s of feeds with expected priority for again some accounts will have no use. This was tried with channels. But it could be private feeds an extension of the word filter list. Simple, good enough. Likely AI generatable. I want to see… but not ….

One of the most funny things with fc always was and probably is that the most popular posts seem to be about fc itself or topics around fc. Partly natural that it’s a fc developer forum, less so all the ‘growth’ talk. Or not, because for a while now there are more new coins created per day i think than posts 😂

@glbkst 10k users or let‘s assume it‘s 50k because a majority might not care about a fc fork or want to claim a new token. It‘s more than a few 100, but even compared to bluesky negligible. Without a TL boost it will be even more unlikely that even 1 other user would be interested in one‘s own posts. I‘d say fc is more like a discord channel, rather large discord but mostly about tokens etc. obviously. So it confirms what i think for quite some time now: fc is not a social media app, never was. For that it has no use. But i don‘t really use it also for quite some time now, but i didn‘t uninstalled it yet either. 😂 why i‘m not sure, in a way it‘s interesting because it is small, but still existing against many odds ?

after thinking a 2nd time about the base announcement regarding apps in the base app, i think that the fc mini app probably have no future. Longer term. The fc wallet as well. Both are too 'custom' and very unlikely to reach many users. I'm not aware of any real user numbers for mini apps today, but guess it's rather low. Which doesn't mean, that the base app might have more, but i understand the announcement in a way that they go back to the previous model of in-app browser + wallet. And have some extensions like a notification service which is described in the announcment. Obviously this will be mostly base-only. But the coinbase wallet was or is one of the most used wallet app i think. No one will install the fc app to have a wallet i'd say. If the social media aspect doesn't work well, because well it's a bit specialized, it still is the main feature of fc. But the a bit specialized, that is blockchain related, is probably the only strength which fc currently has?
