- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [June 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 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]** 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)
**[4]** consider contributing content to the weekly “this week on lens” series ( https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x18c1 ) or other content threads.
**[5]** @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy.

@phaver.lens 23.4%
@orbapp.lens 8.1%
@lenstubelogs.lens 1.9%

- morning lover.
i think it's the new big thing 😆
- SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce says she is confused by the SEC denying spot Bitcoin ETF applications
NEW: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce tells me even she is now confused by the SEC denying spot Bitcoin ETF applications:
"The standards we've been applying with respect to Bitcoin [ETFs] have been...a moving target and also not consistent with how we've treated similar products."
WATCH: https://coinage.media/s2/bitcoin-etf-applications-arent-being-judged-fairly-sec-commissioner-peirce
- Yes, blockchains are not required and I stress that actually. Star Wars doesn't need to be onchain. It's easy to prove who owns Star Wars and what that IP is, legally. When someone posts a Yoda GIF there's no confusion over who owns that IP. Star Wars GIFs and parodies and fan art do not siphon or steal value from Star Wars, they add value. The original IP gains value with its cultural relevance. The more people who see Star Wars content, in any form, the more valuable the original films become.
A blockchain enables everyone on Earth to do what Star Wars does. It's not required but it's more efficient, in the same way posting on Facebook was faster than creating a whole web page or printing a physical book.
So let's say you scrape all of my Twitter and Reddit posts, feed them into AI, and now you're creating content in my style. Where does the value go? Well, partially to you if you're creating new valuable content with it. Partially to me, depending on if I can prove I actually said those things and created the original works. It may be hard for me to even quantify that value, though, let alone capture it if I don't own the database. I can't track anything. For this reason the value goes mostly to the actual owners, Twitter and Reddit, as evidenced by the recent API fiascos. They own the database, they own the data, they capture the most value.
Now let's say you scrape all of my Lens posts, feed them into AI, and now you're creating content in my style. Where does the value go? Well, partially to you if you're creating new valuable content with it. And now that I can prove I actually said those things in an incredibly fast, public manner the value goes to the actual owner...me. I own the data, I capture the most value because it's provable what the original work is.
So the first point there is to own your data.
If you don't have a publicly provable method of doing this you're likely going to struggle with capturing and quantifying the value of your output. People and corporations are going to take your data no matter what, wherever it lives. If my data lives in Reddit's database, Reddit captures the value. If my data lives in a public database in an account I own, I capture the value.
Ok, so if you own your data onchain...how can you let people use it?
How can you let people add value to your data? Just like Star Wars doesn't pull down Yoda GIFs, if people want to turn your art into memes let them. If you want to scrape my data and put it into Generative AI go for it. More relevance is more value for me to capture.
In fact, what if there were tools that made this really easy and actually incentivized people to add value to my work? I argue artists should be making their own AI products available. Create tools which let others add value.
If you publish music on Spotify you can get listeners. Listeners add value to your music. If someone remixes your song that will add more listeners and thus more value to your original music. So how can you encourage people to remix your song? By releasing the stems. Make it easy for people to use all the parts of your song to create brand new songs. Gen AI is the same thing. Train AI on your music and let people create new music with your catalog of song data. If you, the artist, don't create this product then Spotify will.
Okay so how does this apply to social media? We're here on Lens where everyone can collect posts from each other. Why would you collect a post? It does (virtually) nothing right now. None of the above requires collecting posts. But just like releasing audio stems makes it easier for people to create, we need apps here that utilize Collects.
Give people tools which use Collects and they will be incentivized to collect.
- Create a LoFi music maker which uses your music NFTs to create new songs.
- Unlock new Besties to talk to in FriesGPT by Collecting posts.
- Combine your Collects to create new brand new Besties
So finally, the term "Followers" is a metric based on the news feed. If social media apps had no feeds you'd have no Followers. Myspace didn't have a feed, they called everyone Friends. The term "Follower" is so engrained right now only because every app has feeds.
Metrics are measurements. Instagram and Twitter internally have way more metrics than "Followers" and "View Counts" -- they choose to show us only a tiny amount of what's actually tracked.
"Collectors" and "Supporters" are new metrics starting to be used here on Lens because we own the database and we can see who is paying who, and therefore if we want to incentivize people supporting each other we can display those metrics. Orb and Buttrfly and Lensport are doing this, and I'm sure there's others as well.
So if we can Collect and use that data in apps, the metric to add would be User. If I Collect your songs and put them into an app which uses my Collects for remixing music, it's now something in the database we can track. We can clearly see I'm using your data in an app, and we can see the output. If I collect posts from @jessyfries.lens to use in FriesGPT then I'm a @jessyfries.lens user. It's a metric which can be displayed because it's onchain. It was hard to know this before, but now it's very knowable.
Hope that helps.
- You don't need to collect anything onchain in order to take someone's data and train AI on it. In fact I could already take all your posts and make train AI on it without interacting with you once.
Also I don't really understand the concept of becoming a "user" of someone. It sounds like an euphemism for stealing someones data and replicating it. Where is the benefit for the creator?
- gm to all my american friends. it's a bit late but happy 4th of july nevertheless
- When you lose interest in the things you are doing, it is good to take small getaways and do other things, such as going out, walking, spending time with your friends, activities to relax your mind, such as being in nature. While you continue to discover something in your search for meaning with these small activities, it can lead you to discover things that will support, strengthen and inspire your search for meaning along with other things. Sometimes little getaways are good, inspiring.
