Additional details
Farcaster protocol + ID
The social feed in the Base App is powered by the decentralised Farcaster protocol and shared across the Farcaster ecosystem.
A Farcaster social account is required to post and engage with content. During the Base App onboarding process, you’ll have the option to create an account or connect an existing Farcaster account.
If you onboarded before the social feed feature went live in the Base App, you'll see a banner that says 'activate your social account'.
To connect a different Farcaster account, turn off Base mode and log out of your wallet. Next, log back in, turn on Base mode and connect the desired Farcaster account.
Content moderation

Feed ranking
Feeds are personalised based on your engagement (likes, comments, follows) and interest quiz inputs, prioritising freshness, relevancy and content diversity.
By default, we don’t prioritise crypto content over other categories. Visibility is based on overall engagement.
Languages
The social feed currently supports English-only content.
Translation tools and multilingual support are expected in future updates.

Make sure you’re using the latest version of the app.

Restart the app to clear temporary issues.
Use pull-to-refresh to update the feed or comments.
