I’m not yet on the base app. Does it compete or collaborate with farcaster?

Ah like base vs optimism within the superchain ecology

both, sort of

it competes with Farcaster the client (Mosaic)

but uses the same underlying Farcaster protocol (TCP/IP)

How to get in, if I go viral on Farcaster, do I go viral on TBA?

I think base is a wallet and web3 browser. It's a little different. Competes in some areas.
