Post to Earn: The New Farcaster Meta of 2026 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Post-to-Earn-The-New-Farcaster-Meta-of-2026?index=0x67a98dfb4c052163da3bcd57b47431059d54a4fda1e006285c46f9d7fa83308dc658e7ef - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/post-to-earn-the-new-farcaster-meta-of-2026 - Shared 10 February 2025, 6 upvotes, 0 comments Chasing Blossoms argues that Farcaster's crypto "legos" now let everyday posters get paid for content, something web2 social networks generally don't offer. Warpcast is expanding a rewards program to ensure 1,000 people a week get paid in USDC, and several channels pay casters too. Cura, from the team behind OpenRank, lets channel hosts automatically reward what their community likes, while Rounds.xyz lets hosts set contests with their own rewards, cadence, and judges. The /anime-manga channel uses subscription revenue to reward casters who get engagement each week, and Moxie rewards likes, recasts, and comments with Creator Coins. ## 2. The Algo’s Just Not That Into You - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/The-Algos-Just-Not-That-Into-You?index=0x68776c2085bb5248a0a7dd1ac26c1b4ade206f57aea404f8329eeecf2819b830a2134bd5 - Source: https://paragraph.com/@pichi/the-algos-just-not-that-into-you - Shared 16 July 2025, 4 upvotes, 1 comment The author claims Farcaster's feed algorithm is artificially boosting some newer accounts with 1,000 to 3,000 followers, who get 10,000 or more views, while established accounts with over 100,000 followers see reach fall by as much as 67%. The argument is that this reach cannot be explained organically and points to external amplification. The text cites six large accounts whose unique-account reach over 30 days ranged from 1,500 to 15,400, and one newer account reaching 10,500 unique accounts. The text also acknowledges that timing, interaction graphs and reposts by top casters could explain such swings, so the boosting claim is not proven. ## 3. The Unwritten Rules of Warpcast: Avoiding Spam Labels - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/The-Unwritten-Rules-of-Warpcast-Avoiding-Spam-Labels?index=0x67973f155c84b852240dd3e1319ef54371340b3f6e2edc6cb3fca161dd46f79566951f9a - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/the-unwritten-rules-of-warpcast-avoiding-spam-labels - Shared 27 January 2025, 3 upvotes, 2 comments Warpcast's public spam labels classify accounts by how likely they are to be "spammy," and the article's central advice is that users with a label should change their behavior immediately, starting with their own feeds. The article says the Warpcast team defines spam as behavior that intentionally generates notifications for others in ways that benefit the author and annoy recipients, citing generic LLM-generated replies, bulk following and irrelevant or offensive replies. It reports that the first public data, from January 23, 2025, labeled 91% of active users as spammy, and that a February 20, 2025 rerun lowered this to about 82%. Its recommendations include limiting frames and recasts, keeping most casts original, and replying only in channels. ## 4. The Algo’s Just Not That Into You - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/The-Algos-Just-Not-That-Into-You?index=0x68776b5bf3ab1fdfae67f912f81341fd8c798bcd23111599c604a21f6225294cbca38347 - Source: https://paragraph.com/@pichi/the-algos-just-not-that-into-you?referrer=0xC304Eef1023e0b6e644f8ED8f8c629fD0973c52d - Shared 16 July 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments The author contends that Farcaster's feed algorithm is artificially boosting certain newer accounts, and that this is eroding trust across the platform. The argument rests on reach figures: some casts from accounts with 1,000 to 3,000 followers reportedly get 10,000 to 18,000 views, while longtime casters with over 100,000 followers have seen reach fall by 29% to 67%. The author says that a 1,000-follower account reaching 10,000 people requires external amplification, though the author also concedes that timing, interaction graphs and reposts by top casters could explain some variation. ## 5. 25% of My "Good" Followers are Gone - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/25percent-of-My-Good-Followers-are-Gone?index=0x6850318623181d405cb82810b282a87fd46966ca9953ed203800914654babc2959211102 - Source: https://paragraph.com/@pichi/25percent-of-my-good-followers-are-gone - Shared 16 June 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments Follower counts and rewards leaderboard scores have dropped on Farcaster, which the author attributes to an aggressive spam algorithm and not to individual users being ignored or unfollowed. Users labeled as spam with a "0" label are no longer counted in follower totals or rewards, though they still follow on the protocol. The spam data set has not been updated in 11 days, so frames showing spam labels may be outdated. The author also cites home feed tweaks and money being attached to tipping apps as possible factors in lower engagement. ## 6. Popular Tipping Mechanics on Farcaster - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Popular-Tipping-Mechanics-on-Farcaster?index=0x667f43c747578572f482ac66a70ec2649e11c492fc807195d64f646154143ac89fed2c3b - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/farcaster-tipping - Shared 28 June 2024, 1 upvote, 1 comment This article is a guide to three tipping tokens used mainly on Farcaster, though none are made by the Farcaster team; independent teams created them and questions should go to their own channels. $DEGEN tips are sent by replying "AMOUNT $DEGEN," require a 10,000 $DEGEN balance in a connected Base wallet, and allowances are based on OpenRank engagement data, resetting daily at 8:00 PM EST. Ham, created by @deployer, tips are on chain on the L3 Ham Chain and require holding 100,000 $TN100X, 1 Based LP, or 1 Ham LP, with allowances reset around midnight EST. $FARTHER allowances go to anyone holding 100,000 $FARTHER, are based on how widely tips are spread, and reset at 3:00 PM EST. ## 7. Save Farcasters from Spam Jail: A How To Guide - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Save-Farcasters-from-Spam-Jail-A-How-To-Guide?index=0x685262b3d73004a16fa6b52b54f3a1f86a9206be6d0a60254838d84cfb2484dc9653c456 - Source: https://paragraph.com/@pichi/save-farcasters-from-spam-jail-a-how-to-guide?referrer=0xC304Eef1023e0b6e644f8ED8f8c629fD0973c52d - Shared 18 June 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Farcaster users are urged to check the accounts they follow for a Level 0 Spam Label and unfollow likely spammers to help mislabeled friends. The article says 256,912 Farcasters currently carry the label, meaning they are likely spammers, and that the team cannot review them one by one. It recommends a Dune query that lists followed accounts with the label, sorted by label level, so users can review Level 0 accounts' recent casts. The article notes the spam algorithm is secret, so the guidance is based on behavioral patterns, and says Level 0 accounts are ineligible for Warpcast rewards and their replies go to a "Show More Replies" bucket. ## 8. Farcaster Community Badges - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Farcaster-Community-Badges?index=0x66ba88b1b4ff4bfa4e67a84f8735402cf9ea2dcad2fdb72b2d18a34e7d9dad1e70ca13e7 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@pichi/farcaster-community-badges - Shared 12 August 2024, 1 upvote, 0 comments Farcaster users add emojis to their names as community badges that signal which communities they belong to and actively take part in. The earliest known example is Purple DAO, a Farcaster-native DAO that promotes the ecosystem, whose members use a purple square emoji to show they own a Purple Token. On February 14, 2024, holders of The Haberdashery's hat emoji received one million $DEGEN to tip, which led to the "the hat stays on" meme. The Ham community's 🍖 emoji became the tipping mechanism for $TN100X tokens, and Japanese-speaking members adopted the 🐹 hamster emoji as their badge, calling themselves the Hamuchanzu.
