** Supporting Slow Times On Farcaster ** (my /firstdraft )
There are known slow times on FC--Saturday afternoon EST and early evening most notably. But have you noticed there are a lot more slow times recently?
It's easier to just log off--and you may need to--but if you are here during slow times, there are a couple things that can be really supportive & encouraging.
1. Go on a promiscuous liking run. During slow times, most people are getting 3 or 4 likes, a few of us going on a run would be helpful. This is one of the reasons I don't typically have micro tipping on so there is no hesitation of who or what I'm liking.
2. Notice people making genuine efforts in a cast that has 0 likes after an hour or more. It's frustrating to be a smaller account and putting in the effort and get nothing, especially not knowing that late mornings EST are no longer that active, early evenings EST are no longer that active in this season.
3. Find a few people that are doing good work--posting videos, writing paragraphs, talking about meaningful things and read and engage. Give them some good feedback or critique, encourage them to keep going.
I'm not talking about spending hours on this. During a quiet time, it's remarkable what you can do in 20 minutes to support Farcasters instead of a 20 mindless scroll.
I don't think I came up with this on my own. I don't know if they think about it intentionally, but during slow times on FC I feel like I see a handful of people doing this--probably just naturally. The recurring FCers I see are @garrett @milibooo @janicka @ashwinikumar.eth @retalien ... s/o to them. I'm sure there are others. I'd actually love to hear about people who are good at this if you want to tag them.
Building a protocol and a community requires being intentional. Slow times are tough. Doesn't mean you have to be here and do this, but if you are it might be a great use of time and far outweigh anything else you could do during that time. 8 replies
