Welcome

I received $125 in Farcaster leaderboard rewards this week (!) because people have been willing to take a chance on a newbie’s content. Now I’m paying that forward.

For the next 24 hours, I’m challenging myself to like 125 casts from different Farcasters I don’t follow, have <100 followers, and whose cast I genuinely find interesting. $1 via Noice per like.

I’ll start browsing in channels like /welcome and /100club. Please send any other channel, starter pack, or user recommendations my way. 🤍

I've looked at over 900 casts today and found only eight people who matched the criteria in my challenge. I'm going to extend the deadline for this because I have yet to comb through the leaderboard.

My happy hypothesis is that people earnestly sharing content do not stay at <100 followers for long. That said, it is difficult to naturally see content from newer users in the feed. The majority of the eight people I found came from /welcome, where an introduction made with effort can go a long way in helping people find community here.

Please keep your suggestions coming. They're very helpful. I'm reading them *all* as I do this, and will respond after my eyeballs recover.

Building a little space by the ocean. More information at /thenextwave coming soon.

Wow, your dedication is seriously impressive, and it’s awesome how you’re giving everyone a fair shot to shine
