"would be great if [...] was explained more clearly to users" could sum up my entire opinion of Farcaster. It almost feels like there's a deliberate attempt to hide information from people in here. Nothing is explained anywhere, whole team is allergic to docs or accessible content. There's no algo to speak of either, so relevant content doesn't flow naturally to you. You're supposed to either love influencers and spend your life on the app scrolling (and I guess refreshing and reloading the app consistently, because to this day the scrolling still breaks), or have a circle of friends. IMO, for all Farcaster plays with sharing economies type things, their overarching design is tarred by an overarching belief users should be put in two buckets: active content creators, and passive content consumers.

Does this binary vision reflect a truth? To an extent yes. But when you take it to this extreme in every step of your design, you end up with a platform that is way too rigid. People are not born in the crib as "creators" or "consumers". I bet the number of users who quiet quit Farcaster is higher than every other social network. There's just too many hurdles between you and navigating the place, at every step of the way.
