Spent some time with the new Base app. The search experience is actually solid and well thought out. But the overall feel still isn't quite there. Performance isn't as smooth as you'd expect, even on a high-end Android phone, and the feed leans heavily toward low-signal posts. That contrast becomes obvious if you switch back to the Farcaster app. It's fast, fluid, and hits a rare balance between social and trading. Right now, it still feels like the benchmark for wallet UX.

My Thoughts on the Neynar Score and Participation 1/3 So, we're already seeing some mini-apps set a 0.5 Neynar Score cutoff. You can access the app, but as soon as you try to actually do anything inside, that score message pops up. I'm honestly not sure if it's the right move to let an algorithm dictate whether you can participate in a mini-app. I've been active on Farcaster for about five months now. I engage with the mini-apps, I give likes fairly regularly, I post a cast, and I reply to others. I’ve never once tried to spam. The simple reality is I just don't always have the time to reply to casts. I also prefer to post nothing at all rather than posting something low-effort just for the sake of it. It's also pretty discouraging when you post something thoughtful in a channel and get zero engagement, not a single like or reply. And this isn't necessarily because the content is poor.

Hi Coingecko 👋 Any chance you can switch the links on the coin pages from Warpcast.com to Farcaster.xyz? And it’d be great if you could throw in the Farcaster logo too!

You're right about the low-engagement users, but I think the retention problem is broader. As someone who's been active for about 4 months, it's been tough to break through. You can post something thoughtful and often get met with silence. No likes, no replies. It honestly makes you wonder who even sees it. It feels like a struggle to connect with other quality users, big or small. That lack of real conversation is what’s so discouraging for people actually trying to build community here.

Always enjoy translating observations into visuals. Fun challenge to capture a story in two frames! I love creating on Zora and Base.
