Starting today, the trending feed will be removed from Farcaster apps. 

Trending was launched a few years ago to help user discovery. Since then we've added better ways to discover users: in-feed suggestions, rewards leaderboards and algo recommendations. 

Fewer than 5% of users check the trending feed everyday, and the algo we use for trending is no longer helpful for discovering new users. In the spirit of simplifying the app, we're removing this feature which has long outlived its purpose.

exhibit A, this cast should be trending and is not (yet)

I see the same casts on the trending tab as ~3 hours ago when I made that cast

I believe it's a good call! 
Simplify 🔥

It was a good push to remove a thing that doesn't actually get much use but people are fixating on. Simplify!
