- couldn’t restrain myself from googling the sound designer for Zone of Interest within the first moments of the film, to find it’s the same sound designer i last googled, at the end of The Favourite. we’re in the presence of goatness.
- why doesn’t YouTube have a subscribers only feature? like free or otherwise.
- people who take conference calls on speaker in cafes… a new circle of hell for them, please.
- hey @lens/orb you don’t list the support email in flow, only an open email action link (no thx), but fyi mints are busted in some form. instance: updated app, recent wallet connections refresh, free mint.
- 🫣
- why yes, i am a polyglot.
- if Tofu has million fans, then i'm one of them.
if Tofu has one fan, then i'm THAT ONE.
if Tofu has no fans, that means i am no more on this earth.

- truly considering the Dublin conference…
- I think what I love/miss most about New York is that it’s the least coddling city in America.
- i didn’t have any nyc fomo but now that everyone’s posting about the rain… 🥹
- will tech people find the nerve to speak out now that AI’s being folded into this charade? or

- i think the main moat between web3 and its wider utility is perspective. web3 builders seem largely unable to conceive of a user unlike themselves. products and, more importantly, the cultural experiences around them are built for a user with ample leisure time who lives online.
- my Mediterranean superpower is i can tell if you grew up talking with your hands or if you learned it from TikTok
- holy shit the moon
- genuinely, i wonder what it’s like growing up with a parental phone pointed in your face every day and what kind of subconscious associations that may develop
- being comfortable with uncertainty is powerful
- i’m making a generative fruit machine, and i started drawing a persimmon from another fruit’s duplicate—and as soon as i changed the color and started outlining the persimmon, my mouth began watering. like this is it so far and my lizard brain is going wild.
- i haven’t intentionally spoken to another human being IRL in almost a month. weird times for an extrovert.
- there are no Fridays in the woods
- can everyone in web3 copywriting and UI design please watch this
- kinda bewildered at how being forced to pick no fewer than 5 out of just 16 topics in order to log into @club/orb will actually benefit my algorithm
- every single Lens app seems to be shitting the bed, so not sure this will happen.

- Come Along With Me
CAWM is a novel broadcasting platform to be built on Lens. Functionality will initially be demonstrated via an eponymous high end travel show, but ultimately the platform will be open for use by other creators.
Additional context here: https://www.notion.so/justalexty/Come-Along-With-Me-92dd02e36fdc42d08a429fc43c8ed124
You can support CAWM (for free or for rewards) here: https://radarlaunch.app/project/651624292079751a84cd4de1
- enjoying the rebrand, but @lenster.lens seems to be super buggy of late
- I've submitted my pet project to @radarxyz.lens's A More Playful Future, Together. CAWM is a novel media platform to be built on @lensprotocol.

Idk where my line breaks in the TLDR section went. 🥲
*Should say "through a service *such as* Privy." Whatever can most optimally onboard web3 newcomers whose principle interest is participating in the show, not necessarily the more classic blockchain use cases. (If constraints permit, this may be accomplished in house.)
Fun fact: this trailer is my first ever production to leverage AI visuals and narration. (And it shows! But now I'm keen to learn more and practice.)

- hmm, @lenster.lens seems to struggle with displaying collect-gated media. anyone else have this problem? refreshing ad nauseam to no effect. logged out, logged back in, etc.

- 🎃 **Halloween Advent Calendar** 👻
I'm celebrating my favorite holiday (and my bonanza of Leonardo AI tokens) with a themed daily collect for the month of October. In the tradition of advent calendars, each day must be opened (collected) first in order to see what's inside.
*P.S. There will be a limited edition treat in store for the top collector/s.*

- **Hey Lens users! 👋📢☘️**
Eager to contribute to the Lens ecosystem's growth? Our team at RSS3 has crafted a Lens-tailored AI Copilot that's geared to power your learning about user activity on Lens. Think ChatGPT, but for Lens data. You're exclusively invited to join the testing phase 👀
**Let's dive into the specifics 👇🏼**
The Copilot allows users to ask questions about the Lens ecosystem with the ease of ChatGPT. Discover insights, identify trends, and learn about what people are doing on Lens now 👇🏼
As a Lens user, we made it easy for you to contribute to the Lens Copilot 👇🏼
**1. Collect this post**, and **we will whitelist you within 24 hours.**
**2.** Once whitelisted, **head on over to the Lens copilot** page: https://lens.copilot.xyz
**3.** **Log in using your Lens credentials** (important for reward distribution)
**4. Ask questions about Lens!** To make this more fun, start with asking about your friends’ latest Lens activity, e.g. “*What has stani.lens been doing lately?*”
Get ready to fuel your curiosity by asking questions about all things Lens!
The Lens Copilot is a tool designed to help creators and builders draw valuable insights from activity in the Lens ecosystem. The tool is still in development, and this testing phase is a crucial part for optimization.
And of course, your involvement holds weight! We're keeping an eye out for users who contribute the most, helping us fine-tune this tool. Your dedication is what powers Lens, and we're excited to show our appreciation. 🙌
- Devs and creators when combine forces, will change the world, here’s to some crazy builds togsther 🌱

- the thing i find most exciting about Lens is how it has unrivaled potential to onboard people into web3. i don’t think we’re seeing implementations of this capability just yet, but we will.
- generating data. collect to test.
- gating by individual NFT (or list of NFTs) will be such a dimension add to any @lensprotocol.lens app.
needless to say, there are uses for gating entire profiles. but the modulation potential offered by gating posts is what’s really interesting.
artists can gate posts for collectors without having to have a dedicated Discord server or Telegram chat. (theoretically, whole org ops could be gated to eliminate Discord.)
novel functionality could be implemented in Lens-based games and media. we could see unprecedented formats arise that were previously impossible. (i have a few in mind already.)
i know @orbapp.lens offers general commmunity gating, but i’m talking individual posts being gated by detailed NFT specs. @guild.lens would make a lot of sense here, but idk that i’ve seen that integration in any UI.
- i was devising a Lens-based project before bed last night, and as i turned in i thought "i want to dream about this so i can keep working on it," and then i did. 🌱
- app developers, plz provide gated polling.
starting point: "everyone can view, must collect to vote"
better still: "everyone can view, [NFT] holders can vote"
- outside of the waitlist, how do @lensprotocol invitations work these days? would love to see the strategy outlined.
seems like onboarding by community might be a strong tactic. if uptake coincides among people who already interact with each other regularly, retention should be improved. and seeing how these turnkey social groups use Lens together could generate useful data.
^ is a scheme like this already in place?
- The time has come, Lens Family! 🎉
Get your beers ready because TOMORROW, Tuesday at 2PM EST | 6:00PM GMT, we're kicking off our FIRST EVER Trust Me Bro Spaces on @buttrfly.lens !
It's all about Lens Protocol, Web3, and a dash of fun 🍻
Join us here 👇🏼

- crypto is for world building
- We're always looking for new artists that are innovating and pushing the boundaries of creativity.
Post your work and tag @Refraction.lens for a change to win a Refract pass!
- data to collect. this is a test.
- i think the use case for entertainment on the blockchain could start more readily with supplanting Kindle and DVDs than supplanting streaming and the like
e-books alone are an easily transferable concept that makes wayyy more sense decentralized
