Reminder! All of your favorite channels are accessible by tapping your profile photo or swiping from the left edge of the screen. Tap and hold and drag to reorder. This does not change.
New default “who can message me” setting: Followers + Recommended We’ve seen an uptick in spam, so we’re moving everyone who is currently on Everyone to Followers + Recommended. Our goal with Recommended is to maximize good users who can send you a message. If you are Only Followers, you’re unchanged.
Quick follow new casters right from your feed!

If you live in the UK or EU and can't make Farcon 2024, would you go to a May 2nd satellite event in London? h/t @rish @mcbain 1. Yes 2. No, I'll take the FOMO Question by @ted https://i.imgur.com/vU0O8KA.jpg
Active Badge update We're making 2 changes to the requirements: - Increasing the minimum followers from 100 to 200 - Increasing the minimum activity score from 1.0 to 1.2 This will roll out in the next 24 hours. https://www.notion.so/warpcast/Active-badge-d81fea2e953e4dafae7c85295ffaf3ae
High-level near-term roadmap for Warpcast DCs - Reactions - Images - Replies or at mentions (whichever is simpler to implement) Will be working on a few other items as well, but figured I would share.
Warpcast Badge Suggestions What badges should we add? A useful badge: - Conveys information at a glance - Not easy to get; some proof of work component - Bonus: only on Farcaster / uniquely enabled by crypto or onchain information
Introducing the top caster in channel badge - identify users who get the most engagement in a channel - it will display in place of the active badge for that channel - it's a higher bar than active badge More here: https://warpcast.notion.site/Top-caster-in-channel-badge-e245790360034883baf96ab013588efd?pvs=25
My favorite thing about FarCon is it's 100% grassroots. @cameron and @grin just organized it last year. Didn't ask for permission. And now @ted and @mcbain are doing it this year. No involvement from Warpcast. Farcaster is a permissionless brand.
