I'll repeat more broadly: decentralized social networks (whether crypto or non-crypto architectures) are limited by supply of interesting and entertaining content. If you increase the supply, audience will follow. Everything else is downstream of that.

The "interesting" qualifier is key: 1m carefully curated and thoroughly thought casts by me, are less interesting than a single "hello farcaster" cast from a sports, music or politics celebrity -or even their teenage kid. This has been the inflection point for every social network.

Sequencing matters. Get interesting / entertaining density with nerds first, then expand from there. Celebrities always come after scale.

Lady Gaga is considered to be the first celebrity of this caliber to join Twitter in March 2008. This was the state of Twitter at the time (not sure if before or after LG joined) according to TechCrunch. https://techcrunch.com/2008/04/29/end-of-speculation-the-real-twitter-usage-numbers/ March 2008 Total Users: 1+ million Total Active Users: 200,000 per week Total Twitter Messages: 3 million/day I'm sure you've studied these numbers more than me :-), just sharing for reference.
