You’re amazing fam
- What does social capital look like?
@nicocapital.lens lays out one example specific to Lens.
- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [September 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. (new: this month: @noko_.lens @trustmebro.lens @betashop9.lens @thisweekon.lens)
(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 @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens 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 : "be yourself, try to engage with people, sharing images seems to accelerate engagement/growth, people love to 'GM'"
It is quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. A few approaches to get more 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 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) and/or communities on @orbapp.lens .
[3] consider contributing content to the weekly @thisweekon.lens highlight series ( https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01d898-0x04 ) or other content threads like @trustmebro.lens. (Keep an eye on @ryanfox.lens ;-).)
[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 @buttrfly.lens .
[6] @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy.

@luduvigo.lens wrote two great posts “How to grow on Lens ...” https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0132-0x02a5 https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0132-0x036d and maybe take a look what he did with the content in the following days. 👀

#gettingstarted #5steps #newonlens #howto #onboarding
- 🔗 I’ve spoken about this “link” issue before. 🔗
☢️TLDR: competing front ends making decisions for the betterment or detriment of their users.
I’m not sure anyone understands how important the `postId` is, it’s literally the interconnection between all Lens content. If we break the links we now have a fragmented network.
📜LIP3 (share.lens.xyz) was a good temporary solution or so I thought…
👩🏫 Let’s start with some background for those who may be new.
With Lens you can publish once on any front end and the content will display across the entire protocol regardless of the front end you posted from. 🚀🪴
That’s awesome but what happens if you share a link from Lenster.xyz/p/0xhskf-7485857 but I view it in Orb?
1 of 2 things occur:
1️⃣. I click the Lenster link in Orb and I’m taken to my browser to view the content. (Poor ux)
2️⃣. Orb devs transmute the “postId” to be Orb friendly and I can view the content in-app browser or better yet natively (Buttrfly - an ideal ux flow)
So to address this issue LIP3 was created and implemented.
https://github.com/lens-protocol/LIPs/pull/6
However and no disrespect to the team who created LIP3, the share.lens.xyz UX is clunky because it takes you away from whatever app your using to your phones mobile browser (or a new desktop tab? Idk I don’t really use desktop that often), leading to a disrupted experience.
Which brings me to the entire point of this post. 😌
I used share.lens.xyz for the first time in awhile because I was trying to point someone new to @punkess earth shattering “Getting Started” guide and I wasn’t sure which client they would be using, so the perfect opportunity to use share.lens.
I posted from Buttrfly and expected to see the share.lens.xyz link in my post but @0xmoe.lens figured out how to transform the postId into a buttrfly specific link.
So I post the link, everything looks good on my end, but then I have to check other front ends just to make sure it worked like I thought it would.
I check Lenster and I don’t see any link (which now I’m like “shoot they may get lost if the link isn’t there”) 🤔 that’s weird did I do something wrong?
I go to check Lenspeer and the link is there, but not as share.lens but as a Buttrfly link.
⏸️ Look I get it it’s a land grab for users in the early days, which will only grow as the doors are opened to the public, devs have to seize the early opportunity. ⏯️
So a couple things to wrap up….
1️⃣. That tells me the front end wars are about to be epic (this is uncharted territory) and I welcome it, healthy competition leads to great user experiences.
2️⃣. The literal “connections” of the protocol should NOT be left up to developer interpretation. This needs to be standardized at the protocol level.
Otherwise we end up with a broken and fragmented network, not a good way to start a social graph.
cc: @stani.lens @wagmi.lens @nader.lens
ps. my 9-5 is as a Sr. SEO specialist I fundamentally understand the power of links and interconnection, so this is personal for me 😂

- **Lady with an Ermine**
A reinterpretation of the work "Lady with an Ermine" in which the ermine becomes part of the lady's clothing and the lady takes a back seat, a reference to the mask and how in the modern digital age the form is confused with the substance at points where the virtual becomes more real than the real itself. The design of the clothing is inspired by the futurism of Alexander Mcqueen and Zaha Hadid.
A future where the organic and the synthetic become undifferentiated, a parallel world where objects can also be life. The aesthetics of the "at once" also has always been part of photography and now also of the art that is made with AI, think of the tension between the unfinished and the irreversible that is characteristic of the photograficity, the same happens with the images that are generated with AI, this means that these images also possess photograficity especially when they go through a process of development as is the case.
To take this "at once" a little further I wanted to bring up paradoxes that express the tension between the organic and the inorganic, the living and the inanimate, the vital and the banal, the mask and the self...
