Starting today, the trending feed will be removed from Farcaster apps. Trending was launched a few years ago to help user discovery. Since then we've added better ways to discover users: in-feed suggestions, rewards leaderboards and algo recommendations. Fewer than 5% of users check the trending feed everyday, and the algo we use for trending is no longer helpful for discovering new users. In the spirit of simplifying the app, we're removing this feature which has long outlived its purpose.

This sucks. So how are you planning to replace? The home feed doesn’t do it and neither does the trending topic which only surfaces one or two different topics each week? The value of trending content on a social network is so obvious — just as obvious as trending tokens.

Could you increase the reach of a recast to people not following the original caster? I feel like this is an under used discovery tool

Lol, justify the removal of a feature due to low use when you actively hide it

That's unfortunate for me, it was the view I used the most.

hmm could it fold under search tab? i use it daily to see what i missed and trending topics are a bit high level for me since they are “topics”

Maybe a silly (and OT) question - how do we get to see users with low follow numbers, no pro badge, that issue good content? Like an explore section...
