- Hey Frens! 👋
If you are active on a Lens dapp almost every day, we want to understand your experiences communicating with other people in web3.
We’d love for you to fill out this short survey, and you can also opt in to a PAID anonymous interview with a researcher that will help shape the future of Lens platforms. Participants will receive 65 USDC for a 1-hour interview.
*Take part now! - https://tally.so/r/3NDd7G*
- Gm - Do you feel inclined to collect 'free collects' on Lens? why/why not?
I want to make use of free collects as a database for future drops/utilities/raffles, but at the moment it's mostly the bot-like accounts collecting them. 🤖
imo, free-collects only truly make sense when there is a clear benefit associated with them, which should be explained in the same post offering it. For example, if a post states that the first 10 collectors will be eligible for an upcoming raffle, it provides a tangible incentive for collecting it. Without such incentives, I haven't come across many reasons to actively pursue collecting them. 🤔

Just testing a default "New World" for creating 3D spaces in which to display or build with your social media content.
With Twitter and Reddit closing their free APIs, decentralized social networks with thier public content pools offer a much more accessable platform for experimental building.
Apple's Vision Pro release has everyone thinking about the possibilites of Spatial computing, but will Apple's tendency to gatekeep their tech slow down adoption?
The good news is that with WebXR and other open and free technolgies devs can experiment with new forms of virtual or spatial UI right now!
It's an exciting time for the converging technologies of AI / 3D and blockchain.
Keep building!

- Gather around everybody!
Next week we will be releasing the first official 3D project on this account named "FunkyHeads" exclusively on Lens.
FunkyHeads will be released as 10 unique Avatars from outer space! Abominations in which flesh and metal is transmuted to one symbiosis. Creatures that escaped from a Cyberpunk era in search for a new caretaker. Are you that person?
Each of the 10 avatars will have a seperate 2D and 3D version. This will be the first 3D project on Lens!
* The 2D version will have special effects and shows the FunkyHead in full glory.
* The 3D version comes as a beautiful golden statue that will be watchable in 3D and VR on https://collectz.xyz
On Wednesday 7th june 2 pm ET the first 2D FunkyHead named "Angelus" will be FREE to collect. The 3D version will be priced 1 wmatic.
The price of all the other 2D and 3D FunkyHeads will be only 1 wmatic each in a limited supply of 1000. We will mint the FunkyHeads over the course of the coming weeks.

- i love collecting on lens, but up until recently i haven't great ways to showcase and look back on what i've collected
Some apps like @beatsapp and @collectz are starting to add more features to solve this problem. I'm really enjoying looking back on what i've collected over the last year on Lens. My collects are a visual time capsule of my favorite content and creators on Lens
In the last few days alone i look back on the diversity of things i've collected $11.5 wMATIC's worth of posts from 15 creators:

- `📚 DEVELOPER RESOURCES📚`
Hi Devs!
Today I wanna share with you *3 books* that I consider **MUST READ** for every developer!
The first one is: **Clean Code**! One of my favorite coding book of all time. If you want to learn the art of converting bad code to good code, that the book is for you!
The second one is: **Cracking the Coding Interview**. A good book to practice with coding problems: it makes you think how to handle different situations in everyday problems you might face during your job.
The third one is more AI oriented: **The Master Algorithm!** This is not strictly developer-oriented, but it provides an interesting point of view of the current AI world. If you wanna work in AI field, it might be a good starting point.
That's all for today, see you frens! 🔥
- Dracula Vlad Tepes castle. Less scary than I thought.
- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [May 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 *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.
(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 (iOS) 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 increased his followers +5k within 39 days. How he did it? "be yourself, try to engage with people, sharing images seems to accelerate engagement/growth, people love to ‘GM'"
One more one more thing ;-) the latest notification update shows notifications for profiles one follows and a few other profiles only (if the filter isn’t deactivetd). -> at the time of writing it’s quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. 2 approaches to get some 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 the next “little lens game” edition :-) https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x1407 . The little lens games intends to be fun (of course :-)) and requires to follow other lens profiles for 24/48 hours closely. -> your content will have at least some exposure to people beyond your followers. (Please let me know if you would like to join.)
**[3]** maybe join 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)
`cover artist of the month`
TYSM @chaoticmonk.lens for creating this beautiful - and **first** - getting started cover 🤍🙏. If you haven't already I highly recommend to take a look at @chaoticmonk.lens profile. (maybe you can find some available collects of the fantastic "Foto A Day" series.)
**Collect is the super power of #lens**, starting with this edition the “gettting started” post is a 333 limited edition (0.3 WMATIC with 50% mirror fee share, the collect fee goes 100% to the artist.)
What does it mean? You can collect one of 333 available NFTs of @chaoticmonk.lens awesome photo (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 through 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.
`advanced topics`
**other mobile apps**: @converseapp.lens (iOS @xmtplabs.lens mobile messaging app), @lenstaxyz.lens image focused lens mobile app.
**other browser apps**: @pinsta.lens pin lens content, create and publish pinsta boards. @beatsapp.lens music focused lens app . @focalize.lens browser extension for posting on lens. @youfolio.lens trading lens creator tokens. @dumpling.lens video platform on lens. @diversehq.lens Reddit inspired lens app. @collectz.lens amazing app to share what you’ve collected and what’s for sale (e.g. https://collectz.xyz/u/cavernaeremita/forsale ).
**market place**: @lensport.lens Buy and sell collects, create token gated posts, ... .
**fun**: @thesmurfssociety.lens crystal mint started … . @memester-xyz.lens create memes easily and publish directly on lens. lenstube.xyz/ videos on lens. www.lyrical.world (#LensAI) create ai generated images and publish on lens. @amnisiac.lens listen to music in your feed or other profile's feed (e.g. @mixtape.lens ). @truthordare.lens ;-). @lensgardennft.lens dynamic activity based NFTs. word cloud generator by @rickydata.lens https://lens-wordcloud.streamlit.app . Lens circles by @juancito.lens circles.inlens.xyz .
**tools**: @chainjet.lens automate processes, like notifications ( @remindmebot.lens 👀). lens.sepana.io very powerful lens search. @lensdropxyz raffle tokens based on constraints (e.g. 1 of the profiles who collected post xyz will get a NFT). @wav3s.lens incentivise people to mirror or comment content. @madfinance.lens Lens Bounties, allowing creators to earn "by creating a Lens post using the creative direction of a brand". @theshr.lens decentralised publishing platform. @letsrally.lens lens spaces. @wagmifund.lens decentralised crowd funding platform. @ethpass.lens add your lens profile to Apple or google wallet. postter.xyz schedule posts. @socllyofficial.lens “creator-centric” toolkit.
**data**: profile.lenskit.xyz profile overview with a github like activity board. https://dune.com/xmc2/lens-profiler get an overview of your lens statistics.
**ready to test**: @lensplayxyz.lens video browsing, @buttrfly.lens general purpose lens mobile apps (android), #lensshare video platform (browser lensshareapp.xyz ), @converseapp.lens mobile messaging (android). Text 2 video by @thegallerydao.lens . @chromadin.lens “A din of iridescent static fills the air as you tune into intercepted signals. Beyond the boundaries of conventional networks you are here, live at the edge of an irrevocable threshold.” :-)
**coming soon**: @onboardapp general purpose app. @ensocollective digital closet. #theDial by @emmajane1313.lens . @lenstags.lens content discovery and organisation. @glassxyz.lens protocol for decentralised video ( https://glass.xyz/manifesto ), @lenspostxyz.lens canva for web3 socials.
**lens protocol stats** - provided by @buttrfly.lens (weekly posts + comments)😠lenster.lens 71.4%
@phaver.lens 11.3%@orbapp.lens 6.4%
@chainjet.lens 3.0%
#lenstube 1.5%
@buttrfly.lens 1.3%@lensport.lens 0.6%
If you are interested in **content distribution** and increasing your reach on lens, maybe the following post is a good starting point: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x017566-0xdf (e.g. @bvdaniel.lens combined his introduction post with an eye catching visual (only follower can collect) and an incentivised mirror (+100 followers ). 120+ collects, 80+ mirrors, 40+ comments ...)
@luduvigo.lens wrote a great post “How to grow on Lens: Episode 0 to 500 followers” https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0132-0x02a5 and maybe take a look what he did with the content in the following days. 👀

- Taking some well needed downtown this weekend as we visit family in the north of Scotland.
As much as I love building software, it's so important to take a break m, get grounded and appreciate the little things that make life beautiful.
A sunny day, a river walk with the dog, the quiet of the country in contrast to the city. All can be relaxing and energising.

- Meet Astrid, official 3DeSocial mascot. 🐶😄
She just found out we're taking a road trip to Inverness.
- A little experiment following on from Star Wars day.
This is not a rendered animation. Everything 3D that I post is being processed in real time with open web technologies and runs in the browser (Chrome works best).
https://giffer-demo-cwz94xet1-3desocial.vercel.app/
This combines and AI generated backdrop from Blockade Lab with a selection of Star Wars gifs.
When the page loads the gifs are decompressed into individual frames to create a spritesheet.
The spritesheet is applied to the spheres as a texture and the position of the texture viewport is changed to animate the gif on the 3D material.

- Also a sick 3D GALLERY OF YOUR COLLECTS YOU CAN USE: https://collectz.xyz/u/bradorbradley/3d/space/showroom
- if you haven't tried it yet definitely check out collectz.xyz!! @collectz.lens is a very cool social NFT marketplace that just forked their platform from DeSo to lens. I've spoken with the team @krassenstein.lens and others and am impressed with the platform. did you know you can view your collects
some of my favorite features include:
1. super smooth and clean way to view all my lens collects and content i've created: https://collectz.xyz/u/bradorbradley
2. leaderboards and stats about who the top collectors on lens are and what they are collecting: https://collectz.xyz/profiles/stats
- Animated GIF support is coming soon to your @collectz.lens 3D spaces!
As it's Star Wars day here is the perfect example...
May the fourth be with you!
- Happy #starwarsday 😁
May the 4th be with you! 🚀🌌

Dude - where's my AT AT AT??

He an imperfect attempt from Bing AI. It's still learning to write. I have a feeling in some months it will be perfect.
- Who's building the #AI assistant that automatically fixes vulnerabilities and depreciations in npm dependencies?
- My main advice to any Lens builders and integration partners is to make instructional video content that answers these 3 questions:
1 - what is your product and why did you build it?
2 - who is your product for (which types of users, a specific genre, creators/curators/collectors)?
3- how does one use your product/get onboarded to it?
there is a HUGE SUPPLY of new products and things to do in the lens ecosystem, and a TON OF DEMAND and interest to try them, but there is a gap: users don't know what exists! and even if they do, they may not know how or why to use these tools!
If you have educational video content about your product or project, tell us!! 👇
- Building Decentralized Social Spaces Part 3
This is the third part of our #buildinpublic series and also the latest development update from 3DeSocial.
In this video we explain some concepts about this project which aims to create truly decentralized, persistent virtual spaces which are stored entirely on decentralized storage and blockchain.
The website featured in the video is simply a portal running code that views the blockchain data as a virtual world.
As we are building on the Decentralized Social blockchain the whole space is actually a social media post.

- How manuals will change with augmented reality
- We are accustomed to having printed manuals of all kinds, from recipe books, to operating and maintenance manuals for equipment, to manuals for assembling furniture in the home ourselves.
- In the best scenario there is video content that can enhance understanding and help us with the task at hand, otherwise -> paper.
- When we will have smart glasses for augmented reality, this content will be completely different from today.
- They will be real virtual models that will float in mid-air in front of our eyes and can be manipulated with voice and gestures to enhance our understanding of the task at hand.
The convergence of 3rd gen web tech means not only instruction manuals like this. It also means that many of these items could be 3D printed in your own home, after having made a scan of the space or person the item is for & made to those exact measurements. #SpatialWeb
Source article: https://shopify.github.io/spatial-commerce-projects/Instructional-AR/
Imagine creating 3D printable items and putting them on Lens for people to collect and earn you money for your work!
