Day 19 of my zero following experiment. 1. It’s really hard to keep up with what’s going on inside of Farcaster. I forgot how much I depend on my network to keep me in the loop. But the main reason I did this was that I wasn’t seeing enough of the people I wanted to see. I had to rely on setting notifications for them and even that didn’t always work. Now I stalk about 15 peoples profiles daily and use group chats heavily. 2. My home feed is weird. For a while it struggled but now it mostly shows me very engaged posts in channels I follow. This is AWESOME. I don’t want to trending feed button. I want a “trending in the channels you follow” button. This is way more likely to lead to content discovery. I see so much from these channels that I wouldn’t organically see because I don’t follow most of the folks who were posting there. My feed is full of /yellow and /superrare and /nature photos and art and I love it. Show me the best of each channel so I can find cool people.

I will! Typos and all! I want to see how the feed evolves if I stay following zero people. It’s been fascinating to watch it change.

How do you feel so far? I mean what is the impact, do you feel like you are missing something or do you feel like this is what I should have gotten? 25 $DEGEN

I’m discovering more content and people for sure. It’s been different than my old feed. I wish I had a channels feed that highlights the best of all the channels I follow. This feed is more random but better than what I had. Group chats keep me sane.

Is your feed providing content that matches your interests? Even if it’s not on a channel you follow. So far my home feed has been randomly delivering content, and recommending people who are connected to the people I follow.
