Choosing the *Right* Farcaster Client Alternative clients to the Farcaster App are nothing new. We’ve had great ones for a while: HeroCast, Supercast (RIP), Recaster, and Cura, to name a few. But the launch of The Base App (TBA) changes the game. It brings a totally different monetization model and its own reward structure…and a waitlist of 700,000 people who could be flooding the network in the next few months. If you’re serious about Farcaster as a protocol, it’s worth digging into all of the major players. So, when should you cast from Farcaster’s main app versus another client? Recaster shines when you need to schedule posts. If your audience is global, try casting across time zones to see when engagement peaks. If you are struggling with engagement, maybe you aren’t casting when most of *your* audience is online (the home feed has also been very “fresh” lately so timing may play a key role). Their “stats” page for users is teaming with great info (spam labels, Neynar scores, etc. all on one screen). Lists are also extremely powerful and a great way to tame your experience and see more content catered to your own personal interests. Cura is great for channels. It lets you explore what’s hot, new, and trending. It’s more like Reddit than a reverse-chronological feed. Personally, I don’t love reverse-chron feeds in channels; they don’t really surface what the community’s excited about. Cura fixes that. If you are serious about channels and communities, it’s the best way to slice and dice channel content surfaces by members of the channel instead of just an algorithm. Then there’s The Base App (TBA). It’s all about creator and content monetization. It has its own rewards algorithm, leaderboard, and a single global feed. No one fully understands how their algo works yet, but if you want to see the Farcaster protocol in a different light, their feed is very different from the home feed in the main Farcaster client. You can “coin” each post individually and hope it goes viral from TBA or use a new mini-app called Zorro by @derek to tie your creator coin to a post without creating a new coin every time. One downside of The Base App is Mini Apps compatibility…not all of them work perfectly and some wallet-based apps may require different wallets for different apps. If you find one that’s misbehaving, reach out to the developer. You may be able to give them some insight and share bugs they are unaware of at the moment. Bottom line: • If you’re casting into channels, use Cura or Farcaster. • If you’re not, post directly from The Base App (TBA). • If you’ve got friends across the globe, try Recaster. • Farcaster pulls in casts from all clients, so you’re still eligible for Farcaster leaderboard rewards no matter where you post, *but* Base’s rewards are separate. To earn those, you need to post *from* The Base App (TBA).

Be EXTREMELY cautious of any new accounts with little to no casts promising invites to The Base App. Almost all I’ve seen on the timeline are fake. This is the official waitlist and website. https://join.base.app/ Any other website is a SCAM. Report them.

Nice overview! Arttip There are already more than 10k new FIDs on TBA (418 with label 0). So, that's impressive imo. https://dune.com/queries/5543029/9028619 Recaster also shines with the use of lists, so that I don't miss casts like this in a large stream of casts.

Awesome news, heard of Zorro and it's clearer now what its use case is. What happened to Supercast??? I know woj left or something but didn't know it was fully sunset.

Wow, I did not realise the Base app has a waitlist of 700,000 people! Do we know what percentage are new versus existing Farcaster users? Also, Base app doesn't do channel posting at the moment. Thanks for keeping everyone warned about the scams too. 101 $tipn

Amazing explainer, thank you. I’d have liked to try TBA for my occasional non-channel casts, but didn’t get onto the waitlist and now feel like I’m probably so far behind

cool! Thanks, didn't know that you can schedule publications in Recaster🔥 Maybe it's a habit, but my favorite client is Farcaster, it's the most convenient for me. And I use Cura when I want to use search in channels, it's a salvation.
