It’s a protocol and isn’t tied to any one implementation. There are a lot frontends for it and anyone can make another.

I had a look through frontends. Plenty let you sign in/connect some existing account, but I saw none that offered the ability to create an account. The Farcaster page on clients[0] seemingly reflects this by saying you use that app to create an account and then use an alternate frontend "once you've created an account". Given the 2.0 star average due to reviews claiming that the app requires a $12 payment then often doesn't work[1], I'd be hesitant to use it even if it was available on desktop/web or compatible with my phone.

If there's something I'm missing and there is somewhere to create an account, would you be able to link me in the right direction?

I use the Warpcast client and never paid anything for it. Thus far, the app has just "worked".
