There is a lot of discussion on Farcaster of getting more people to use Farcaster. I think it’s obvious that you should just invite people to use it. This is how I started using it.

You need to target people who actually respect the platform and would take an interest in the community. They should come from all different backgrounds, but also shouldn’t have giant egos. They should be down to earth people who just like to post, share information, and interact.

There already seems to be lots of tech people and VCs so there’s not an obvious point in further saturating the platform with this type of individual. There is a big world out there with all diverse types of people looking for a home. I believe its possible to build a community wherever the infrastructure works.

I have invited crypto people, people frustrated with reddit, twitter people and "normies". They all have a home already, so I think we would need something "exclusive" that gets normal people excited.

As it is, there is more barriers than other networks (threads, bluesky, reddit) and so it difficult to "just participate" and see how much fun it can be.
