- HNY everyone!
2024 and Lens to me is about finding the unfamiliar again and truly building generational tech and products. Copying what’s come before is the safer and easier choice but doesn’t create the same groundbreaking impact.
I reflect a lot on TikTok, when I joined I knew ByteDance had built something innovative in Asia, but it’s future in the west in wasn’t so clear. My friends thought I was crazy leaving my current situation and didn’t understand what it could become. To everyone now it’s obvious, but back then it wasn’t and disregarded by many before it’s hockey stick growth and inflection point.
Being able to now say I was part of a generational global product now is something I’m very proud of. I’ll never forget being allocated the same desk in NYC WeWork with 12 desks as Zhang Yiming on my first day who was in town and graciously told me to keep it. Or early days having the opportunity to be in meetings with Alex Zhu whose philosophy about social apps as countries and co creation as a social fabric still resonates today and blue print for social builders. Even I didn’t realize it at the time how lucky I was, but I hold these moments today.
It’s why in jumped into web3 finally after many years of being on the surface personally. I had conviction after my bet on ByteDance played out and excited to embark on another.
Next goal is being able to say I was part of infrastructure backbone making possible the next wave of innovative consumer products.
While the power of @lens/lensprotocol may be invisible to most, if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s that game changing tech more than often comes from what not everyone sees.
It’s never what’s familiar and expected to all. That’s why it’s disruptive.
2024 let’s rock.

- Well, once upon a time in the Smurf village, Hacker Smurf was up to his mischievous tricks again. With his trusty computer and coding skills, he would find clever ways to outsmart his fellow Smurfs. But one day, he realized that his hacking skills could be used for good too. He started using his knowledge to protect the village from cyber threats and teach the other Smurfs about internet safety. From that day forward, Hacker Smurf became a hero in the Smurf village, using his skills for the greater good. The end!

Trakai Island Castle was built by the Lithuanian dukes in the 14th century. In fact, "Kestutis", the duke and legislator of Lithuania in the Middle Ages, ordered the construction of this building. Later, his son continued the construction of this building and finally he died in this castle. At that time, this castle was used as a royal residence.

- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [August 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 - 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.
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: 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 @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens 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 @lenster.lens ). 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. @jeanmi.lens : "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]** @animators.lens 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 @animators.lens ’ idea based on your talent and skills.
**[2]** consider joining communities on @diversehq.lens (e.g. you can post directly to the @mixtape.lens feed, be active in the #lensfit community or join c/food) and/or communities on @orbapp.lens .
**[3]** consider contributing content to the weekly @thisweekon.lens highlight series ( https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01d898-0x04 ) or other content threads. (Keep an eye on @ryanfox.lens ;-).)
**[4]** consider participating in campaigns / events on lens 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 @buttrfly.lens .
**[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** @eastie.lens 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.)

@luduvigo.lens wrote two great posts “How to grow on Lens ...” https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0132-0x02a5 https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0132-0x036d and maybe take a look what he did with the content in the following days. 👀

His genius lies in exploring how colours dance on digital canvases, captivating our senses through screens. 🌈
His Lens journey began with a craving for decentralized platforms, catching the LensBug thanks to Claire Mirran's inviting call. A seamless fit from day one, he's found a rewarding home for his talents within Lens.
How did he discover LensBird? 🤔
"Discovered LensBird through Revise's Twitter space. The game's addictively fun nature reeled me in—though I might be a tad slow! 😅"
Go for gold in LensJump, champ! 🏆
Also, prepare for sock-knocking visuals! @mchx_.lens's dreamy colour fields are setting the stage for LensJump's grandeur as he unleashes his artistry to create some custom backgrounds. We're itching to witness his upcoming work in action—aren't you? 😎

He snagged an early @lensprotocol handle as a member of the @aavegotchi.lens community.
Since then, he started playing around with Lens' collect module to check out publishing art on the platform. The features piqued his interest.
