Glad Farcaster wants to stay spam-free, but I disagree with the ChatGPT advice in "The Unwritten Rules of Warpcast: Avoiding Spam Labels". As a Dutch 🇳🇱 speaker who's good at Spanish and understands English perfectly, I can speak English well but writing flawless text is something else. In Dutch, I'd never accept sloppy writing because that's how I was taught in school. I want my English to sound as good as possible. I use LLMs as editing tools when writing in another language. I rarely see Dutch on Farcaster. Most top casts, accounts, and conversations happen in English 🇺🇸. Being able to participate without language limitations opens up new possibilities and insights. If you can't participate or only read, you become less engaged. You're also more likely to get ignored when your text has errors. I get that ChatGPT-style English stands out, but when someone genuinely wants to communicate well with native speakers, that comes from good intentions. Treating that as spam behavior feels unfair.

You can feel the mix of creativity, intelligence, and technical insight among the builders and team. This really could become something unique. 💡 I’m a web developer with a creative and design background, deeply interested in blockchain, AI, and app experiences. Now that I’ve explored a bit, I’ll start experimenting and see how I can contribute. 2/2

May was my month of diving into Farcaster! Here’s what stood out after some hands-on exploring 👇 /farcaster /miniapps /base /solana /farcade Farcaster brings together social networking, mini apps, Web3, and a wallet in one place. That’s a rare and powerful mix. 🎮 Farcade is my current favorite. It’s well-built, engaging, and clearly a level above. 📱Other mini apps I’ve enjoyed: Farville, Warpslot, $Eggs, BetSwirl. If more apps reach this level, Farcaster’s growth will only accelerate. 📈 🧭 I’m still figuring out casting and how Channels work. Onboarding could be a bit clearer, especially for new users. That said, the Base community feels aligned and intentional in its approach to wallets, apps, games, and social features. 🧠 The addition of Solana shows long-term thinking and a willingness to go beyond single-chain focus. 1/2

Seriously blown away by how smooth, fast, and cheap it is to bridge ETH on Base to SOL via Farcaster . This is a game changer, folks! Highly recommend checking it out. 👍 👍

Not trying to be critical, but I feel like there’s a lack of solid content on Farcaster. My feed is mostly just people tipping each other. Or am I just looking in the wrong places?

What’s the point of tipping the whales who basically own all of Farcaster? Anyone?

Loving the 2048-style number merge game on Farcade. Super satisfying and addictive. But that Master Score of 15,778? Feels out of reach. Anyone cracked it yet? @blackstock

Not many users yet, and most of the focus is still on Base and Ethereum. It’s not always clear what the function names mean or what they actually do.

I think Farcade is a fun little app packed with enjoyable games. Why would you go to the Play Store when you have @Farcade?
