- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [✨PERMISSIONLESS✨ 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/pointless )
(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 or have $POINTLESS fun 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.
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://hey.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 .
[3] consider contributing content to the weekly @lens/thisweekon highlight series ( https://hey.xyz/posts/0x01d898-0x44 ) or other content threads like @lens/trustmebro .
[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 @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/@andresbriceno 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/andresbriceno ‘s 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.

Bring all your questions tomorrow!
- When you have a difficult problem to solve when building open source software and protocols, what helps is to ask oneself, what would Linus Torvalds do?
- I have just created LIP-10 proposing a unified standard for creating and managing Communities which allows using them in an interoperable manner across the Lens ecosystem: https://github.com/lens-protocol/LIPs/pull/33
While we have already learned that the right place to discuss LIPs is on Github, here's a TLDR for those who will not bother:
Currently, numerous Lens apps (Phaver, Orb, Lenspeer and soon Hey) each offer different implementations of Communities with significant part of their functionalities isolated within the parent app. This results in fragmented user silos and makes navigating the ecosystem confusing, especially for newcomers, as interoperability levels can differ from app to app in various ways.
Overall, it can be detrimental to growth and adoption rates, especially in the current stage of ecosystem development, where network effects and joint efforts to expand the shared graph are crucial.
Interoperability of current implementations is possible and exists on some limited level. However, it is not sufficient, and increasing it would need active coordination between all involved parties, making it ever harder to maintain as the number of apps grows.
To address all that, a unified standard for creating and managing Communities in a way that allows interoperability between apps is needed. It will ensure apps have a straightforward way to offer their users Communities which are accessible from any other app that supports the same standard.
Apps might still choose to have isolated Communities, however, an option to create interoperable ones is crucial for the ecosystem growth. In the longer run, users will decide which model (app gated or interoperable) will prevail.
Finally, ensuring openness and standardization of such a key functionality goes well in line with Lens philosophy and values.

- Rails for feed algo markets on Lens are here for some time now and you can test it on @lens/hey . But the example algos did not really pick steam. I see few possible reasons:
➡️ There's not enough bulk data for algos to shine yet
➡️ Current algos are not good enough
➡️ UX around them is not smooth enough (on Hey)
➡️ Users do not have enough control over them. Imagine that you choose an algo and then further tune it to your liking. E.g., set amount or rage, opinion diversity, amount of random stuff to surprise you, etc.). That's something I'd definitely use.
But why is that? Are we simply too early?
Here's one more piece of the puzzle. Monetization of such algos is rather tricky. For apps to share revenues with 3rd parties, the latter must provide something of unique value. Users must badly want specific algos, or it must be hard enough to build or replicate good ones. This could be the core reason behind most of the above.
**Assuming we want to select and tune feed algos ourselves (we do, right?), what could be done to incentivize devs to create such algos and apps to offer them?** 🧐

- Cross-chain Interoperability with CCIP from Chainlink | Block Bytes
There are 206 blockchains in existence today. But not all chains are interoperable with each other. EVM chains find it much easier to talk to other EVM chains and not non-EVM chains.
The future is even more fragmented as new chains keep getting created.
How can we achieve interoperability between all these chains?

I listened to a great @buttrfly.lens Spaces discussion this morning on the challenges of being an artist from: @linea_platform.lens @0xtommythomas.lens @jessyjeanne.lens @cmn__.lens @mchx_.lens @datartist.lens
One theme I heard loud and clear throughout was the burden being felt by artists who felt they now have to learn how to operate a business in addition to mastering their artistry and technical skills. While I would always suggest that learning business is better than not, I thought I'd perhaps shed just a little light on why this feels the way it does right now and what we can possibly look forward to.
Art is not created in a vaccuum. It isn't made from nothing (w/rare exceptions). Canvas portraits required the invention of the blank canvas. Photographers required the invention of cameras and film. Music videos required the right combination of tools and broadcast circumstances like MTV. Artists use existing tools to create art. Similarly, web2/Instagram/TikTok/DeviantArt/etc give users tools to create.
web3 is a essentially a blank database. There's nothing here, yet. This space requires artists to come with their already-made creations, to this new place where the primary app is a marketplace and almost zero distribution tools exist. Almost everyone here is creating art using non-web3 tools and then publishing onchain. It follows, then, that the primary skills to being successful in a marketplace is one's ability to market and sell.
There are plenty of artists using Instagram and TikTok who don't know how to market themselves or their work but they know how to create with those tools. It's not hard to create a TikTok video of a beautiful painting with trending music. The app then allows the artist's fans to do most of the work for them. Fans can distribute, collaborate, interact, and spread the word all on an artist's behalf. This is missing in web3, but it's coming!
One of the core benefits to publishing onchain is that anyone can make your data valuable. This means you can leverage the entire user base to help you build. It feels difficult right now because it is! We say it all the time, but it's true: we're early. There are so few apps right now to help, but over time this will resolve itself.
So what's a burdened artist to do? I would encourage anyone who feels overwhelmed at (or turned off by) the thought of learning how to market themselves to do one of two things:
//1: Reach out and be vocal about what you need. Talk to devs, or post your thoughts openly:
"I need an app that lets me create like this..."
"I need an app that lets my fans do this...."
"Hey I see you're building an app/video game/event ticket/music album/gallery/etc, is it possible my work (and others like it) would fit in?"
Find trends like ChatGPT/Dating/Design/Messaging apps and ask devs to help incorporate them into apps which are based on your data's needs: A stable diffusion app which lets fans play with your art and a dating/friend-finding app which utilizes swiping left/right on art are both totally possible.
//2: Sit tight and watch for these apps to emerge. Be open to new tools which use your art, and be open to new tools which create new forms of art. These apps are emerging now ( @lenspostxyz.lens ) and will almost certainly continue to explode in growth. As more apps are able to use your art the easier things will become.
This may feel like one of the hardest times to sell your art onchain, but the truth is it's easier now than it was in 2018 and will likely continue to get easier and easier as more is built. Until then, keep creating and don't get discouraged by "the business"!
