Warpcast

every week i create a new fid through warpcast to check how the onboarding flow changes through my own experience

guess what

no more 70 autofollow list

and that initial feed is now a cherry pick and seemingly unbiased selection of the best casts of the network

this is an important change. chapeau 🎩

When you sign up to Warpacst today, we will: 

1. Ask for your interests 
2. Show you an algo feed 
3. Ask you to follow people 

As you follow more people, we'll show you more stuff from your followers and less from the algo.

This is an experiment and ~ half of new users will see this today.

How does the algo work? 

Warpcast maintains curated lists of people who post interesting content in each interest category. If you select an interest, we will show you recent content from those users up to 5 times. 

If you don't follow them, the algo feed will stop showing you content from those users.

On a user messaging front, it should be the focus to really drive home that following users powers everything. I spent a lot of time finding channels and was more selective with follows at first. Hate to think I would miss someone because I didn't follow fast enough.
