Additional details
Farcaster protocol + ID
The social feed in the Base App is powered by the decentralized 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.

Feed ranking
Feeds are personalized based on your engagement (likes, comments, follows) and interest quiz inputs, prioritizing freshness, relevancy, and content diversity.
By default, we don’t boost 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.
