i’m starting to realize that different apps in the lens ecosystem serve different functions, all of which lead to a richer, shared feed across apps here’

great post! I'll add that - I believe orb and @buttrfly.lens don't support fee collects due to app-store restrictions (could be wrong) - haven't used buttrfly since i don't have an iphone, but orb and buttrfly both seem be full-featured mobile versions of a general social media experience and are awesome (like lenster) - @phaver.lens seems to be a type of hybrid, where lens content/users are presented alongside "phaver" network users/content (so lens and non lens content) There are also multiple apps focused on providing an experience focused on specific usecases/media (similar to lenstube) - @lenstaxyz.lens is image focused, giving an instagram like experience - @letsrally.lens provides a twitter-spaces like experience - @amnisiac.lens (built by me 👋) is a music-focused spotify/bandcamp like experience - @beatsapp.lens is also new music-focused experience What I think is so cool, is that the base protocol provides the ability to create these unique and completely different ways to *experience* the same content created on lens. @punkess.lens has a great write up on some of this https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x0b98
felt inclined to post this because in my last post, lots of people listed a bunch of cool apps, but it was unclear what purpose each served hopefully this helps other new folks as well! (still not sure what the differences between @phaverapp.lens @orb.lens & @buttrfly.lens are though- only used orb out of the 3 so far since they sound similar)
Great breakdown of the different apps! I’ve been asking and searching for a bunch of apps on Lens to see what the differences are between them.
Here is my understanding...lens is creating a new social platform beyond normal and when it comes outta beta it's going to shock the whole space...this is a whole tree still sprouting
also I think the apps that provide similar functionality will eventually create more specific audience or use-case down the line, its a great time to test the waters
Gotta checkout Lensport.
what do you think of other apps like phaver and lensta?
Gotta checkout Lensport.
