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.

On my main feed, I mostly see casts from high-follower accounts. But if I try to leave a thoughtful reply on their cast, I usually get no answer back. I totally understand they can't reply to everyone, but it still makes it tough to feel encouraged. What are the alternatives? Some of the top 50 mini-apps offer you a chance at greater reach, but then you have to pay for it. As a developer, I feel strongly that the platform shouldn't be discouraging genuine users who want to contribute to Farcaster’s success. It seems like the system is forcing users to reach certain goals, but not everyone wants to chase high scores on Neynar. Sometimes you just want to post or reply without the added pressure of meeting an algorithmic objective. When an algorithm limits you like this, it can definitely lead to a less positive user experience.

I absolutely get that Farcaster needs to block bots and spammers. Finding that perfect balance isn’t easy. However, I do feel the Neynar Score calculation is due for some improvement. Don’t get me wrong, I believe in Farcaster’s continued growth. The core concept is very good. So please take this not as harsh criticism, but as constructive feedback based on my own experience. Hopefully, this insight can help prevent other real users from hitting the same wall.
