The biggest problem with the Warpcast algorithm is that is “spam” means ANY reply with ZERO engagement (no like or reply back). This is very nuanced and difficult to navigate. It is too easy to be labeled as spammy and most users will need to change their behavior when you engage with people who don’t follow you. When you follow each other, the spam rules no longer apply because you are friends.

Please take a moment to read this all the way through. It's long, but might be the most important thing you read all day! At the end, there is a tool to check and see if your account has been marked as spam. 

Please be careful everyone! Do NOT get marked as SPAM!

in 5 minutes you could save a friend from a Level 0 Spam label, which is detrimental to their experience on Warpcast! This guide will show you how.

P.S. This is casted in a channel so that anyone can ask questions without fear of getting a spam label. 

As always, appreciate any feedback and thoughts!

The Unwritten Rules of Farcaster: Cast A Lot*

When the Warpcast team says: Cast a lot* to be successful and be eligible for airdrops and rewards, that’s a huge oversimplification. 

There’s a BIG asterisk in there that’s invisible, but important understand. You need to cast things that are going to get engagement. Casting for castings sake isn’t going to work out in your favor. 

75-80% of casts on Farcaster get zero engagement. That means no likes, no comments, and no recasts. This is bad.
