Why do you think today Farcaster is far more familiar and adopted than Len's probably despite this cruisual difference?

Mostly network effects. Farcaster did a great job of courting Crypto Twitter. Len's has made no effort on this front, and for that I am grateful. Farcaster feels like an insider SV Bro club to me, where it's impossible to get traction unless you were already a crypto influencer when you joined. 95% of casts on Farcaster get less than 5 reactions. I think it also speaks to the desire for "decentralized" social. I'd argue Farcaster is Web2.5, at best, but even that is better than using Twitter. Lens being invite-only for 2 years probably didn't help with its momentum.
