Welcome

Farcaster

Hi @linda and @farcaster team,

Hunt Town has been supporting Huntzy, a Web3 onboarding club in South Korea focused on complete beginners. It’s a competitive program:

S1: 51 selected out of 222
S2: 70 / 221
S3: 81 / 242
S4: 78 / 217

As part of onboarding, we bring all members onto Farcaster using paid invite codes — typically spending $200–$300 per season just for this. Yesterday, thanks to community members like @luckyjerry, @kelly-k, and @to’s friends, we were able to use some free codes as well.

At Hunt Town, we’ve focused on bringing in “outsiders” — users who are often overlooked but are deeply enthusiastic about Web3. They may not seem central now, but we believe they are key to broader adoption and long-term growth. Our builders host Brick Side Chat, a bi-weekly online meetup and project showcase. Next week marks our 50th session — nearly two years without a single break. We’d love to invite your team to join and experience the energy firsthand. We’re confident you’ll see the value these communities bring to Farcaster.

We also spend about $20,000 worth grant pool (our own budget) to the Hunt Town builders by using Clap and Builder Grant. Our builders find good Farcaster builders/content and give claps for them, and at the end of the month, these grant pool distributes to both - Clap receivers and Clappers.

At Mint Club, we're building token family where anyone can build child token from an existing erc20 token. We think keep issuing new tokens on pump dot fun like platform is not sustainable. We can position this platform for some people who love their own token, so want to expand their token ecosystem by injecting child tokens/NFTs from their token, rather than issuing completely new one. 20,000+ active users are using Mint Club and they especially love our airdrop tool. But recently the trending logic suddenly changes and suddenly Mint Club's ranking dropped huge, but it's ok. We still love Farcaster mini apps. 

Just a bit of honest, emotional feedback from the Hunt Town and Mint Club community. I just wanted to make a little shout out so that the Farcaster core team knows what we're doing.

We know @linda and @ted work so hard to make this community valuable. We hope that at some point we can invite you guys on our fun Brick Side Chat.

Thanks,
Project7.

Hi @linda @ted,

We’ve observed a few onboarding bottlenecks through the Hunt Town community that may be affecting new users’ experience on Farcaster. I wanted to share these in hopes they might be helpful for improving the onboarding flow:

1. When a new user joins Farcaster, their comments are often invisible — it seems they are automatically “ghosted” due to having a spam label of 0 (unlabeled). While we understand the need for moderation, this can be very discouraging for new users and may prevent them from becoming active contributors.

2.	New users often face issues with account verification. The available options seem to vary from user to user, and in some cases, users are unable to complete full verification at all. You can see an example of this in the recent discussion with @gfam on Hunt Town (attaching the image on comment).

3.	We’ve also encountered a recurring issue with the 72-hour account recovery system. Even users who join with pre-paid invite codes are sometimes forced to wait multiple days before they can access the platform. This delay creates a frustrating barrier for new users (also attaching the image on comment).

We truly believe improving the onboarding journey is crucial to Farcaster’s broader growth. Thank you for your continued efforts, and we hope this feedback is helpful!
