Post by @stani • Hey
Now that @LensProtocol has been on main-net for few months whats your feedback, what is working? What you would like to see happen? On protocol layer? On a
Comments
- First, I just wanted to say I think you guys have done an incredible job with Lens in such a short period of time. So pumped for you and so much respect!
Here's a list of features that would allow our team to produce more content and be more active on Lens
FYI: This coming from the founder of a social marketing agency, web3 media platform/content creator and the largest account on Lens.. though I use that term lightly as most are bots lol
- The ability to share account access with more than 1 wallet
- The ability to schedule content natively
- Connecting Lens into popular content scheduling platforms (I imagine this is not easy though, but we could produce sooo much more content if possible)
- Building user lists similar to lists on Twitter
- Dark mode would be great
- Engagement / growth trends and analytics (Even just being able to see video views on Lenstube would be awesome)
- Smoother log in process (I still can't log in on my phone using google chrome... I need to use the MM browser).
- Just a thought: Open access to everyone (we have so many community members who want a lens handle but its a pain to get it to them) but require a small amount of ETH or MATIC to be held in a wallet in order to claim a handle and interact with Lens (GM did this and removed almost all bots this way)
Thanks team!
- BTW it should be noted, you've ruined all other social media for me haha. It feels so WRONG that I can't collect on Twitter or IG! Collecting is the greatest ♥️🙏
- Lens Flea market (smth like fbook market)
- All I wish was a #LMCC button that does all the actions in one.
- I think it's crucial and I hope to see an emphasis on algorithm choice and development established, to both users and devs. Right now everything seems to be based on who you follow, the classic social graph, which is obviously very valuable. But the interest graph is even bigger (a la TikTok) and also super useful. And the ability to swap algos and timelines is where this is all heading, I'd love to see Lens get there first. 🙏
- @stani.lens >> A mailchimp-esque app featuring integrations that allows subscribers to receive content send-outs/newsletters directly to their (Lenster) DMs would be great as a creator. Could also allow for hyper segmented audience connections, too.
Being given the option to send out a notification about a new post to your followers, or selected parts of your followers, would also be great.
- Hey, if you get a chance check your DM on here please, I have a quick question about onboarding
Loving the Lens Protocol so far! Would love to have a way for current users to start onboarding our friends.
- It's addictive tbh. The user journey is just sooo satisfying! Can't wait for Lens socials to take over! 😁
- We have been loving it on Lens! Thanks so much to everyone building. Only things I can think of right now are on @lenster.lens & @orbapp.lens it would be nice if new notifications were highlighted.
and on @lensport.lens it would be nice to be able to select multiple posts when 'Hiding' them, instead of having to do one at a time.
But those are very minimal things. Excited to see how things develop and how the space matures.
- Really enjoying Lens so far. The growth has been unreal! Don't really have any constructive criticism.. i'm sure the team knows exactly where to go from here.
- the collect module shows that various types of media can be collected without a dedicated marketplace or special mint sites. that's pretty cool!
however, this great feature can make apps like @lenster and @orbapp look like places for shilling. at times every post seems to scream "collect me".
of course, users drive the way apps are used but maybe there is room for a discussion, news, info,... app. Lenster and Orb can be such apps but they aren't. crypto Twitter needs a replacement. currently, Farcaster is closer to this than any Lens app.
that being said, the Lens ecosystem is fresh air and much needed. congrats to all who build here.
- I feel this project should have its own chain .... With the amount of its ecosystem and how big its going to be looking into the future of web3
Lens protocol should have its own chain... running it matic will probably not be conducive environment on the long run when there are a lot of users and traffic...there is definitely going to be high gas fee ..
Imagine sometimes matic gas fee on transaction run tru 0.02matic ...just imagine matic at eth price or probably at bnb price ...its too high ...IMO
So @stani.lens you should please think on how this project should run on its own chain pls for conveniency sake
- I wish it were easier to build...
that being said, I wish lens would give workshops for building modules or even an academy in which a non dev could be helped to build little implementations. Seems there are a lot of people in discord etc. that have ideas to make the ecosystem more inclusive and more fun but lack the know how. bottom-up, inclusive, web3 in action
- We need lens governance token so We can vote where the platform is right like I don't understand any techy stuffs :/
- Generally love it! Especially having the same account for all social platforms and the possibility to collect content besides the obvious benefits of self-ownership of content and followers.
I would like to see more integrations between apps and stronger measures against bots. Also, strong algorithms for the feeds, although this is only a question of time. Would love to see apps working both for desktop and mobile. Also, more DAO infrastructure projects. And finally, Lens to open up so platforms can get more traffic.
- A lot is happening on Lens. I interacted with the nft market place and i felt it could be better in order to compete with the likes of OS, Element, etc.\n\nI'd like to see a better marketing approach, to attract attention of users.
- Hope @LensProtocol could import our #following and #followers list from #twitter and check whether they exist in lens or alternatively could send out automatic invites to them....Wont that be fun?
- Would love it if lens will be faster that it is now.
- For the ecosystem, inviting underrated -and interested in crypto but still new to it- artists would bring too much value to Lens and the artists themselves. I can name a lot of them and even invite them if you like me to do sir!
- A model that doesnt charge subscriber once off, but continually. Not like collecting for fee, but paying in advance for hidden content
e.g someone who has real alpha could brand a hidden post as alpha that users need to pay for to see. The quality of the information could be reviewed by those that had it, stamped by time. kinda quality assurance. Perhaps the price should like a dutch auction, be dynamic and positively related to the review.
same for lenstube. If i were a beast trader or arbitrageur, or researcher, live pay-per-view would change the subscription model entirely by reducing my ability of adverse selection/moral hazard to viewers already subscribed and incentivize quality above quantity.
This surely isn't the incentive for content creators to join the platform as they carry more risk and need to provide consistently to earn a living, but maybe that's a good thing for what lens is supposed to be imo.
- not quite sure what this is about, but I have repeatedly had a bug when I subscribe to some people in Lens, and then, after some time to come back Lens and see that these people are not in my subscription, I have to re-search them and subscribe again
why does lens unsubscribe me from these people?
- application layer
- When new apps create a new format it breaks some other apps. I.e the new medium type platform stores the blog posts in json which lenster shows as code… dunno the solution but need a way to sort it
- 1. Trending topic - like another web2, we need to know what things that most people talking about
2. Hashtag - to let everyone manage easily searching their interest
3. Translation would be great to make local community grow bigger
- There is still a long way to go. When can the speed of optimization be the same as that of Twitter? I'm looking forward to that day
- lens protokol get bigger soo exacting
- As a longtime strict social media denier , this is way better than expected :)
- 1. Hashtags: to allow users follow trending topics
2. Emojis: since each post need not be only like (displays wider array of human emotions)
3. Like & Dislike: although double edge sword, it can filter out good posts in generic sense
4. Tip: it will encourage and boost users to indirectly make relevant posts
5. Groups: Can aggregate like minded users
I do believe some features are actively being developed by team
- its betten day by day tbh, i remembered 2-3 months ago i often cant collect or retweet a post properly but its all good now so keep it up though
- Hard thing is finding ways to connect and build friends/followers. I think you guys should try and find ways to build community via events, maybe community calls or something.
- Incentives for creators
- It's a very innovative place
- 1. Login can be simplified a bit. It's very cumbersome now.
2、Add the function of automatic translation.
3、Add space function, like Twitter.
4、Add multi-chain function.
- All the comments are great @stani but is up to team to select most needed
- Getting better day by days
- Dark mode
- Hope the translater languages function will be appeared in nextime
- awesome dudee
- wow , i like
- Dark mode please!
- the best part is we dont need any email or phone number to login
- Nothing much tho
Still needs a lil bit of work on the UI appwise
Uploading of multiple medias at once on Lenster isn't possible
But anyways you guys deserve ALOT of credit for this Stani 👏🙌
Keep it up!
- Allow more users to join
- i had troubles with following people for some time but its fixed now so all good lmao
- All I know about Lens.... is it's only getting better a better. thanks @stani.lens and @lensteam.lens
- new world
- To be honest didn't know you guy'swould come out this big
- Coooool
- I wanna see lens more user friendly with specific app
- Add spaces on here & to even do it better than twitter or any other option add a live video option to the version y’all implement.
