- I kind of liked the old orb icon. Am I the only one?
- We’re going afk.
@lens/stani and @lens/gluk64 (Founder, CEO of Matter Labs) discuss Lens Network, @lens/zksync and building things that matter.
May 23rd, RSVP: <https://lu.ma/afkberlin>
- Introducing Lens Network. Bringing one billion users to Ethereum.
Our mission is to create an open and fair social network for all. No restrictions. A place where everyone can connect, participate, and build. We believe that digital social spaces will drive Ethereum's mainstream adoption.
We are making a big bet to scale Lens with Validiums and Volitions on Ethereum, leveraging @lens/zksync’s stack to achieve mainstream scale for the social network.

- When you mark a publication as 'Not interested,' what are you hoping to avoid: similar content or content from the same author?
- Anyone tried Airchat?
- For those of you interested in The Three Body problem !

10 - he has to listen to me shilling #Orb and #Lens for an entire day
30 - make bonsai art
50 - post a tutorial / AMA on how to make shader filters in unity
70 - make a clip from the most upvoted comment
100 - ???? chosen by the 100th collectooor (has to be realistic tho)

- Claimed my 'thank you' gift from @lens/bonsai to celebrate the fundraise! 🎉
- I just claimed my $BONSAI reward on @lens/orb!
- Liked the UI for minting ! Great work Orb team
- Decisions that affect the community SHOULD be made by the community
-
- Can I set up my default feed instead of “For-You” always on Orb? or a visible button to toggle between the two?
- Riding into the sunset !
- Adulting sucks !
- Lately, I've noticed a lot of people are mainly focused on LLM-based models, which tend to be more like 'black boxes' with limited control, even after fine-tuning.
Yet, much of the industrial data we encounter is tabular, where XgBoost often proves to be the superior choice. It has consistently outperformed deep learning models in numerous benchmarks.
For those diving into AI/ML, it's crucial to start with the traditional algorithms. Understanding their limitations is key to appreciating why transformer models are revolutionary in fields like language understanding and machine translation. Cheers!
- Lens London meetup 🔥🔥
- Lens London Meet-Up 🌱
- See you tomorrow at the Lens London Meet-Up! 🫶

- I love the idea of absolute freedom, but I also see the value in having some structure.
With Web3 social aiming to put power back into the community’s hands, it raises a big question: Should we let the community set the moderation rules, or is a world without any moderation the way to go? What’s your take on this?
- Wish I could see the list of profiles that reacted / collected my posts on orb
- GOAT - BONSAI
- Skepticism towards algorithms is understandable, especially with the rise of addictive apps. However, it's crucial we recalibrate our tech to shift from addictive to assistive. By reimagining algorithms as tools for guidance rather than control
- London Meet-Up 🇬🇧
Saturday, 11am to 2pm
RSVP required.

- Intriguing analysis of cosine similarity in embeddings & its limitations

- Web2 social apps start plotting out how to make money off of users the minute they log on.
In the Lens ecosystem, the users have the opportunity to make money. With more improved ML, we can reward high quality social behaviors that matter.
- AI should soon dismantle the language barriers! Produce content in your native language, and enjoy others' work in yours. A win-win
- Thought I would start one but found this already 😀
- Create it, Collect it, Own it
- I started out as a young developer building on Lens because I believe in video creators owning their content and audience. Now I've onboarded 4000+ creators to @lens/tape through permissionless onboarding, solidifying our commitment to this vision.
Join Tape - https://tape.xyz/signup
- Can we create a collectable that supports multiple tokens?
- Lens has collected $ 500k in revenue in less than a week from profile mints, directly into the protocol treasury. Apps have also earned above $ 100k.
That's a great start for a decentralized social network.
- Shoutout to our community gardeners and the Lens team for the great job in fighting the spam !
Reply-ranking helping to keep the not-so-cool replies out of the spotlight and quality score is being used in multiple downstream tasks to rank high quality profiles to the top
- Thinking of starting an ML club, who’s in?
- Its truly yours to shape !
- Now that Lens is permissionless, here is how you can get the best experience and make the most out of your stay and help to improve Lens:
Like the content that resonates with you; paid collects are the strongest signals on Lens. (A**void creating fake engagement, as it will be easily detected, even if done manually**).
Flag "Not interested" on content that does not appeal to you personally.
Report any content that you feel is spam or repetitive.Join communities and Clubs (similar to Orb) that you like. (**Avoid joining those in which you have no interest**).
Create content that you enjoy and express yourself. **Discuss, debate, and enjoy**; don't take Lens too seriously.
Remember that **Lens is multimedia**. (@lens/t2world ld is great for blogging, @lens/tape for video content, @lens/buttrfly for audio spaces, etc.).
Be friendly and respectful to each other. It's a friendly community, and we are all still early in the web3 space.
Together, we can scale, but we need a community-wide commitment to build a better social space.
Enjoy onchain social.
- Lens is now permissionless.
- Love “things from scratch”. Fun exercise this week !

- In the light of going permissionless, we added more community gardeners (and kept some Lens team members for now) to the report spam/bots and low quality signals. As usual, the protocol allows anyone to post content and interact with other users. Lens API is used to enable enhanced experience across Lens apps thats using Lens.
Here is the list (if you want to help, feel free to drop your name below in the comments)
lens/pedrovilela
lens/nilesh
lens/kipto
lens/zkjew
lens/arterlioz
lens/augustuscaesar
lens/jamesfinnerty
lens/1_cryptoman
lens/definn
lens/albiverse
lens/punkess
lens/lens
lens/aave
lens/stani
lens/wagmi
lens/yoginth
lens/bradorbradley
lens/christina

lens/essah
lens/sasicodes
lens/jouni
lens/paris
lens/nicolo
lens/helpfulbrother
lens/cantech
lens/pawel
lens/cesare
lens/cree
These profiles operate with 3 strike system. Report once = 1 week rate limit, report twice = 3 week rate limit, report three times = indefinite rate limit on the API. Kind reminder that rate limit will only reduce reach through Lens API (used by many of the Lens apps) and apps that have their own backend that would reflect the gardener actions. Developers have the opt-in option to use it or not. Reported users data is still retrievable from the protocol level and these users (most likely bots) would be still able to interact with the protocol but friendly apps won't give them reach.
There is no data available for who reported a profile for obvious reasons, however flags can be disputed (dispute system can be created via LIP for example).
This system is a quick win for permissionless and can be improved and governed via LIP as we the community can assess how the system works. Adding and removing names could also be governed via LIP in the future (i.e. removing Lens team members etc). Hopefully gardeners will make Lens a better place upon going permissionless.
Feel free to leave your thoughts below.
- @orbapp v2 looks great :)
- Highly encourage all the builders to try this out and use these scores to keep our platforms clean ! We will keep working on adding more features and will keep iterating on the underlying model.
P.S : The score distribution is kept between 0-10000 just for the convenience. You can see it as the scores between 0-1 with the precision of 4 digits :)
- This is really important to keep your feed clean !
- How many of you are using "report profile" feature?
