gm 👋 Mention me with a time and I'll remind you of a post. You can say "in 4 days", "next month", "next Tuesday", "on Aug 16th", "Tomorrow at 16:30 GMT-3". If you don't specify timezone, I will use UTC by default. I will like your mention to confirm, and reply back once the time is up. If your profile doesn't allow me to comment, don't worry, I will send you a DM instead.

Lens Protocol is open, anyone who has a profile can have permissionless access regardless of what application they are using. We believe in supporting content creators and followers who create an engaging environment for everyone. Some applications use gasless and signless transactions, and we have now introduced eligibility requirements for these features. While everyone is eligible by default, accounts with low-signal engagement will not be eligible. You can read more about our requirements here. https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/gasless#eligibility-requirements We are also testing filtering low-signal notifications for a better user experience. https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/users-notifications#api-details At Lens, we believe that Web3 social should create a better experience than before, by using blockchain technology. We are always experimenting with ways to better our user experience by filtering low-signal profiles and bots. Let’s keep experimenting, our DMs are open for feedback 🧪

New episode ft. Nick Hollins, a journalist, podcaster, and Co-Founder of @ufoclub.lens. Excited to publish this one and share some unique content for the Lens 🌿 community. Here are some of the highlights from our conversation. 🧵 1) Nick shared his journalism and music background and how he became interested in crypto and the web3 space. He discussed his involvement in various web3 projects, including his work with Voyager and the UFO project. 2) Additionally, we spoke about the importance of community building and marketing in web3, how writing NFTs have helped Nick build his community, and insights into the unique aspects of writing NFTs compared to other forms of digital content. 3) Nick also explained his mental model for using different web3 platforms and his vision for the future of web3 native audiences. We discussed the potential for web3 to create new opportunities for artists and creators, and how the technology could reshape the creative industries. Overall, it was a fascinating conversation, def worth a listen. I hope you guys enjoy it! 🔗 https://open.substack.com/pub/levychain/p/the-rise-of-writing-nfts-and-collectible?
`getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [April 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'" `advanced topics` **other mobile apps**: @lentilapp.lens (iOS native general purpose app), @converseapp.lens (iOS @xmtplabs.lens mobile messaging app pls contact @polmaire.lens if you are interested), @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. **market place**: @lensport .

In collaboration with UNICEF's Office of Innovation, we're kicking off Alpha Round Season, and today we're thrilled to introduce you to the 10 participating grantees! Meet the grantees and find out how you can support their work: https://go.gitcoin.co/blog/unicefs-alpha-round-grantee-showcase
As you probably heard, we're evolving our Grants Program to become more decentralized + customizable! On that note, we're thrilled to share how you can participate in the first rounds of our Alpha Rounds Test Season—which uses our new grants protocol. The five “test” alpha rounds we’ll be running in the coming months are the first step to realizing our decentralized future.

Wow. Thank you @vitalik.lens 🙏 Super honored for the shoutout of our DAO model, our Grants Program, and our Gitcoin Passport product as some of the “applications that are proving themselves already, and are only getting stronger” (And overall, great read: https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2022/12/05/excited.html) Regarding your callout of Gitcoin Passport, we appreciate you noticing the intentionality behind our product design in being a “meta-aggregator” of identity solutions. With Passport, devs don’t have to rely on just one type of proof of identity/reputation service. Devs can ask potential users/members to verify that they have whatever combination of identity markers needed (e.g. Proof of Humanity, a set of POAPs, token balances) to be users/members. We appreciate you recognizing the value we provide to these identity services + users. We also love the callout that adopting a DAO structure can often be mismatched to goals of the organizers, and yet at the same time, there are instances where a DAO structure can be greatly additive to a mission. Thank you for naming Gitcoin DAO as one of those examples. We’re glad you mentioned that our DAO structure affords many benefits, including that it gives users confidence that it will still be around in five years, so that public goods funders can start projects now and hope to be rewarded later.   We want to last + build things that last. Finally we agree with your call to action to build applications that might seem “stable and boring”—because it is these apps that will be most valuable for the web3 ecosystem and its citizens in the long term. There’s nothing we’re more excited about building than Gitcoin Grants (and its decentralized future), and Gitcoin Passport. In the future, it will be obvious that sybil defense + helping people fund their shared needs was one of the least boring things you could work on in web3.
🤔 How will the Gitcoin Grants Program be run in the future? 🛠️ Join us on Wednesday, November 30th at 12pm ET to discuss it! 🌱 We will share our thinking about how the program will be run and hear YOUR thoughts about the program's future 🏛️ This event is open to DAO Citizens (go to the #citizen-start-here channel to get the role ahead of the call!) 🔔 Get notified of when the event starts in #citizen-forum: https://discord.com/events/562828676480237578/1046838693643698256

REMINDER: Our first Alpha Round starts tomorrow! This collaborative pilot round with the UNICEF Office of Innovation is a monumental step in bringing transparent, community-driven grant allocation to the NGO world.
Web3’s tradition of generous grants programs provides a much-needed bulwark for the open web’s dedicated builders. Grants programs are responsible for keeping the innovative and collaborative spirit of open source alive and kicking. Given how grants programs come in all shapes and sizes, what are the best practices if you want to launch your own program? Let's look at what drove three leading programs to major success... 1. The Uniswap Grants Program rewards Uniswap’s thousands of contributors who have been improving the ecosystem since its launch in 2018 and have been building developer tools to help future generations of contributors. 2. The Aave Grants DAO funds grants for code development, governance support, and community engagement within Aave. It exemplifies the power a grants program can have in empowering a community, serving as a critical onboarding tool to grow an ecosystem. 3. And finally there’s the Ethereum Foundation Ecosystem Support Program, which supports the Ethereum ecosystem. Ethereum has always been at the forefront of how web3 orgs should conduct innovation, and this grants program is a major example of that, inspiring orgs to form their grants initiatives. As grants programs continue to evolve and bolster the redistributive tradition of web3, we’re exploring our own decentralized future. Stay tuned as we transition to a decentralized, scalable solution that will support many more communities in funding their shared needs! For more on the best practices in successful grants programs throughout web3, read our full blog post below. Be sure to like and share to spread the word among anyone in the space seeking tips for how to develop their own programs! https://go.gitcoin.co/blog/successful-grants-programs-in-web3-history

Hackathons create a decentralized environment for participants to build a product more significant than themselves. 👷‍♀️💻🌱 Who participates in hackathons? And why should you get involved? Quinn F answers those q’s in his latest feature: "The power of participating in hackathons" Hackathons are not exclusive to developers. They’re also for designers, technological creatives, and product managers. So long as you’re willing to work on a team to help create minimum viable digital products, anyone can take part in a hackathon. The key to enjoying and succeeding at hackathons is to be a team player and stay focused on the end goal. Challenges like team management, time management, and team building may occur, but participants must stay focused on the project and overcome those obstacles. Help promote hackathon involvement by sharing Quinn’s blog post with like-minded community members! https://go.gitcoin.co/blog/the-power-of-participating-in-hackathons
