imagine you have a db with all the casts (including deleted ones), what would you do with it besides search and showing them in chronological order? this db is growing in real time and is always 1:1 with farcaster

what do you want to do with it?

cto @ bwl.gg, 100M+ users (bdut.ch) 🙏 $eggs is life

from my huggingface dump readme:

This dataset can be useful for:

Analyzing conversation patterns and social interactions on Farcaster
Studying reply chains and community formation through mentions and replies
Tracking the evolution of discussions and trends
Training language models on social media discourse
Analyzing embedded content sharing patterns
Researching decentralized social network growth and user behavior
Creating classifiers of likelihood of a cast going viral
Building network graphs of Farcaster users based on interactions

do you have the reactions dataset too? you could look at stuff like likes on $degen posts over time, which $degen posts cause the most conversations (reply chain + length of reply chain), which users were the earliest to talk about it, you can compare the onchain buys and losses with casts per day

i love it, however it basically means:
- tools for researchers
- vanity metrics (e.g. "trends", etc)

i want to find some low-hanging fruit that is extremely useful for the end users on par with the ui when you click $degen (see how much useful info there is) and surfacing "trending" tokens in notifs
