Linkcast now reads Farcaster Articles
On November 13, Farcaster launched Articles, a way to publish long-form writing as casts. Starting today, you can read them on Linkcast.
Every article has its own page, plus a distraction-free reading mode. To highlight great writing, Linkcast now also features a dedicated feed of articles from Trusted Users.
What's new
- Articles feed: a chronological feed of articles from Trusted Users.
- Full article pages: read the whole article, formatted the way the author wrote it. Replies sit below, like on any cast.
- Reading mode: tap the book icon on any article to read it full screen, with your choice of text size and font.
- Other feeds: articles that contain links also appear in our other feeds, like any link cast.
- Trending: when 6 or more Trusted Users engage with an article from any Farcaster user, casts it as Trending on Linkcast.
- RSS: subscribe to get new articles from Trusted Users in any RSS reader.
Hypersnap and Snapchain
Hypersnap and Snapchain are two networks of servers that store Farcaster data. Most casts are on both networks, but some are on just one. Linkcast collects articles from both, so you can read them in one place.
Made for sharing
Every article on Linkcast has its own public page that anyone can open, with no account or app needed. That makes it easy to share an article with anyone, even if they're not on Farcaster. Shared links show a preview built from the article's cover, always shown in full, never cropped.
Get started
- Readers: browse the Articles feed, or subscribe in your RSS reader.
- Writers: publish an article on Farcaster, and Linkcast picks it up automatically. To be featured in the Articles feed, ask a Trusted User to invite you.
Farcaster is full of great links, but they're scattered across thousands of conversations. Linkcast brings them together in one place, so you can discover something new every time you visit.
