- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [Dezember 2023 update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 *updated* - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point. (new this month: @lens/fileverseio @lens/watchereth @lens/carstenpoetter)
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: https://inlens.xyz (*) (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.)
(3) probably you read this post on @lens/hey . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @lens/orbapp and @lens/buttrfly are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(4) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably forever. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lens/hey ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens.
one more thing :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments. @lens/jeanmi : "be yourself, try to engage with people, sharing images seems to accelerate engagement/growth, people love to 'GM'"
It is quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. A few approaches to get more visibility:
[1] @lens/animators started on lens drawing lens PFPs https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0108fb-0x75 . Imo still one of the best (high quality) growth hacks I’ve seen on lens yet (0 to 100 followers). Maybe you can think of something inspired by @lens/animators ’ idea based on your talent and skills.
[2] consider joining communities on @lens/orbapp and/or communities on @lens/diversehq (e.g. you can post directly to the @lens/mixtape feed, be active in the #lensfit community or join c/food).
[3] consider contributing content to the weekly @lens/thisweekon highlight series ( https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01d898-0x04 ) or other content threads like @lens/trustmebro . (Keep an eye on @lens/ryanfox ;-).)
[4] consider participating in campaigns / events on lens like TRIVIATOWN.eth by @lens/prashantbagga or create an event (maybe check out #OPENLENS for reference). (If you plan to create something please feel free to reach out 🤍)
[5] consider joining lens spaces on @lens/buttrfly .
[6] @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy.
`cover artists of the month`
TYSM @lens/@mchx_ for creating this beautiful getting started cover 🤍🙏.
Collect is the #lens super power. The “getting started” post is a 333 limited edition (0.3 WMATIC with 50% mirror fee share, the collect fee goes 100% to the artists.)
What does it mean? You can collect one of 333 available NFTs of @lens/mchx_ ‘ awesome artwork (and this post :-)). If you mirror the post and the post will be collected via your mirror, you will get 0.15 WMATIC. The revenue generated from the collect fee will go directly to the artist’s address.
Is there any utility? Everyone who collects this post can suggest and vote on the next “getting started” cover artist.

- This is Brussels 😍🇧🇪
- Here's the story behind LensBird, which began with an idea to build the first web3 social game using @lensprotocol.🐦🌿
We took a shot in the dark & reached out to 5 Lens users.
And, before we knew it, 70 gamers were already hooked by the end of the day. 💪🏻
That was just the beginning though!
In just a week, our user base grew by a whopping 1318%. 💹
Now, over 40 new players flock to the game daily through word of beak alone, and organic marketing!
Each user brings along an average of 7 fellow birdies, forming a close-knit community of 873 passionate gamers as of July 11th.
And the fact that our overall waitlist registration sits at 38,000 says it all.⚡
Right now the game has had over 15000 plays with an average session length of 6 minutes and 33 seconds.
The cherry on top? 🍒
People are loving the social element of competing against their friends.
Over 1032 challenges have been issued and played in the game, showing that friendly competition is the spice of life be it web3 or web2.
We're so proud and grateful to everyone who's been supporting LensBird from day one.💖
Together, we've built a social game that redefines what it means to connect and have fun!
Stay tuned for more and please share your feedback.🙌🏻

- 30 Investing in the Future Internet with 1kx — pet3rpan
pet3rpan is a partner from 1kx. Investing in autonomous worlds, NFT IP, metalabels, generative consumer and DAOs. Summoner at Hydra Ventures, a fund backing investment DAOs.
He's an early founding member at MetaCartel from 2018, the web3 community of creators and developers focused on building blockchain applications, using crypto in interesting ways, exploring new ideas and experiments with DAOs.
I first met Peter possibly in 2018, but definitely Berlin Blockchain Week in August 2019. Originally from Sydney, Australia. We talk about his experiences in the web3 space. About the early internet and how it works. About the cypherpunks from the 70s, 80s and 90s who pioneered these ideas about digital freedoms and rights, and cryptography.
And we talk about collective lore and canon, like a shared belief in the Star Wars universe that is held in a shared imagination.

Romanticize
The people in my life
I criticize
Myself a million times
Playing the lottery
Counting each anomaly

It’s in the soul
It’s all a lesson

Don’t leave me hangin

Chorus:
Where do we go
Where do we go

I can’t describe
The puzzle pieces of my mind

Traveling through space and time
I recognize
There’s something on the other side
Pullin all the strings
Take me where i wanna be
Pre Chorus:
No point in stressin
Go with the flow
Original
So iridescent
A perfect glow
It’s in the soul
It’s all a lesson
I get the message
Don’t leave me hangin
I’m too impatient
Chorus:
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here?

- Building a Custom Module with Lens Protocol from Scratch
Modules allow developers to program (and users to leverage) unique, custom functionality on follow, collect and reference (i.e. mirrors and comments). Thi opens the door to exciting new community-created features that greatly expand on the basic Lens Protocol social graph.
In this video, you'll learn how to build and deploy a custom module that only allows someone to follow another user if they know their secret code.
By the end of the video you should have a basic grasp of how custom modules work and how to start building and testing with them.
- Today @converseapp.lens 💬 was officially launched on Apple Store and Google Play.
Builders deployed a new app to the garden. 🌿
We are heading towards having a bouquet of interoperable apps leveraged by Lens and XMTP.
But what popped up is that Lenster only shows conversations if there is a lens tag.
Shouldn't we aim for openness and not closed doors?
Happy to start a conversation @yoginth.lens @stani.lens and all the community
Thanks to @alense.lens and @punkess.lens for the insights and the precious support. 🙏

[Off Chain 4/13/23: Shapella is a Success and Sends ETH Past $2k](https://open.spotify.com/episode/5x55PAsKm5iGCqsFCfLz3z)
Listen to this episode from The Decrypting Crypto Podcast on Spotify. In this week's episode of Off Chain, we cover the following stories: The Ethereum Shappella (that’s the Shanghai and Capella upgrades) went live yesterday evening Twitter to enable stock & crypto trading in partnership with eToro (kind of…) CryptoGPT raises $10mn in Series A @ a $250mn valuation Limewire is back!
- Gold has traditionally been seen as a safe haven asset that investors turn to during times of uncertainty and market volatility. In recent years, gold prices have been relatively stable, but there are several factors that could impact its future performance.
One of the main drivers of gold prices is inflation. If inflation rates rise, the value of paper currency may decrease, making gold a more attractive investment. Geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainty can also lead investors to seek refuge in gold.
On the other hand, factors such as interest rates and the strength of the US dollar can have a negative impact on gold prices. As interest rates rise, investors may be more inclined to invest in bonds or other assets that offer a higher return. Similarly, a stronger US dollar can make gold more expensive for investors in other countries, reducing demand and potentially lowering prices.
Overall, while gold has historically been a valuable investment, its future performance is dependent on a variety of economic and geopolitical factors. As with any investment, it is important to carefully consider market trends and do thorough research before making any decisions.

- 🤬🤬🤬 AI is disrupting the content creation process. 🤬🤬🤬
I fear a world where bots write content and others scrape bots-generated content.
In which the content generated is so much that people need to keep up with what others are publishing. We could reach a point where reading other people's content will make no sense.
Bots will write books, tv series, and scientific papers, produce songs, generate art, and much more.
Competition from bots can make us defocus and think that the only way to generate compelling content is to use AI.
Using AI to improve our work is acceptable and can help us as other machines have done in human history. But the risk is that without control, what we produce will be average or below average.
What I feel is critical instead is:
1. Have a clear brand, voice, and idea of who I am, who I want to be, and what my content should generate for the reader.
2. Create emotions in the reader.
3. Train me on perfecting my craft rather than my output. Otherwise, I would become lazy.
4. Make mistakes and be not ashamed to share them.
5. Be authentic and write my own story.

(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lenster.lens ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens.

lens history: approx 5 months ago #lensBeats appeared promising $BEATS airdrops for following and interacting with (collecting) its content. A few weeks, lots of attention and a few K WMATIC later #lensBeats burned its lens profile.
If you are interested in content distribution and increasing your reach on lens, maybe the following post is a good starting point: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x017566-0xdf (e.g. @bvdaniel.lens combined his introduction post with an eye catching visual (only follower can collect) and an incentivised mirror (+100 followers ). 120+ collects, 80+ mirrors, 40+ comments ...)
