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.

it should show up in your home feed. 

if it didn't im curious what kind of stuff you were discovering in trending that wasn't in home.

Trending feed vs Home vs Following — all different. Unless you’re making the Home feed the new trending feed that surfaces those casts with most engagement first, makes no sense to get rid of Trending.

It doesn’t — It’s always a completely different feed — see video below — I want to see what people are engaging and that’s much easier to see in its own feed.
