- 📉 Decline in Lens Protocol Activity: A Wake-Up Call 📉
Hello, everyone, dear members of Lens Protocol. Today, I want to discuss a topic that concerns us all: the recent decline in activity on Lens.
📊 Observed Data 📊
Over the past few months, I've noticed some concerning trends:
📉 Posts have decreased by 21.65%
📉 Comments have dropped by 12.87%
📉 Mirrors have fallen by 28.71%
(Compared to the previous 30 days)
These numbers are alarming for the platform and all of us who contribute to its ecosystem.
❓ What's Happening? ❓
I don't have all the answers, but I would like to start a conversation about some of the possible reasons behind this decline:
- Has the quality of the content changed?
- Are new platforms capturing the users' attention?
- Is having a waiting list affecting the activity of the network?
I remember @stani mentioning that social networks are a party, and we need to take care of the participants at the party. Are we getting bored with this party?
📣 Call to Action 📣
This is a call to the community and the developers to discuss and address these concerns.
We are all here because we believe in the potential and vision of Lens Protocol. To keep this ecosystem alive, it's crucial that we tackle these issues head-on and collectively.

TL/DR; this piece was inspired by early memories of 1980s nature documentaries that might have influenced Boards of Canada’s sound…
Growing up in Canada, we used to have these short nature documentaries air on local tv. They were produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB for short); a publicly funded film producer that made documentaries and experimental films. It was called *Hinterland’s Who’s Who,* a 60-second PSA, profiling Canadian animals.
Side note: there are so many NFB films that I adore, such as Norman McLaren’s *Dots (*an animation from 1949 in which both sound and visuals were created entirely by drawing directly upon the film), and the apocalyptic cartoon *The Big Snit* by Richard Condie. I'll include links to these in the comments.
The thing about *Hinterland’s Who’s Who* was its theme song - a 10-second solo flute piece, where the combination of vibrato and the wow and flutter of the tape recording produce this distinct, memorable sound. Now, I can’t quite confirm this, but if you're familiar with the Scottish band Boards of Canada, you’d recognize this warbling, pitch-bent, tape emulation that often appears in their music. Were they originally inspired by the *Hinterland’s Who’s Who* theme song?! 🤯
When I created this piece, the flute-like arpeggiated synth reminded me of the Hinterland theme. I added some tape flutter (thank you Abbey Road Vinyl) and suddenly it was giving me some serious BOC vibes.
So, here it is. A little homage to the NFB, Boards of Canada and those little hinterland animals that kept me company when I was a little boy.
