I feel this project should have its own chain .... With the amount of its ecosystem and how big its going to be looking into the future of web3

Lens protocol should have its own chain... running it matic will probably not be conducive environment on the long run when there are a lot of users and traffic...there is definitely going to be high gas fee ..

Imagine sometimes matic gas fee on transaction run tru 0.02matic ...just imagine matic at eth price or probably at bnb price ...its too high ...IMO

So @stani.lens you should please think on how this project should run on its own chain pls for conveniency sake

First, I just wanted to say I think you guys have done an incredible job with Lens in such a short period of time. So pumped for you and so much respect!

Here's a list of features that would allow our team to produce more content and be more active on Lens

FYI: This coming from the founder of a social marketing agency, web3 media platform/content creator and the largest account on Lens.. though I use that term lightly as most are bots lol

• The ability to share account access with more than 1 wallet
• The ability to schedule content natively
• Connecting Lens into popular content scheduling platforms (I imagine this is not easy though, but we could produce sooo much more content if possible)
• Building user lists similar to lists on Twitter
• Dark mode would be great
• Engagement / growth trends and analytics (Even just being able to see video views on Lenstube would be awesome)
• Smoother log in process (I still can't log in on my phone using google chrome... I need to use the MM browser).
• Just a thought: Open access to everyone (we have so many community members who want a lens handle but its a pain to get it to them) but require a small amount of ETH or MATIC to be held in a wallet in order to claim a handle and interact with Lens (GM did this and removed almost all bots this way)

Thanks team!

the collect module shows that various types of media can be collected without a dedicated marketplace or special mint sites. that's pretty cool!

however, this great feature can make apps like @lenster and @orbapp look like places for shilling. at times every post seems to scream "collect me". of course, users drive the way apps are used but maybe there is room for a discussion, news, info,... app. Lenster and Orb can be such apps but they aren't. crypto Twitter needs a replacement. currently, Farcaster is closer to this than any Lens app.

that being said, the Lens ecosystem is fresh air and much needed. congrats to all who build here.

1. Hashtags: to allow users follow trending topics

2. Emojis: since each post need not be only like (displays wider array of human emotions)

3. Like & Dislike: although double edge sword, it can filter out good posts in generic sense

4. Tip: it will encourage and boost users to indirectly make relevant posts

5. Groups: Can aggregate like minded users

I do believe some features are actively being developed by team

A model that doesnt charge subscriber once off, but continually. Not like collecting for fee, but paying in advance for hidden content

e.g someone who has real alpha could brand a hidden post as alpha that users need to pay for to see. The quality of the information could be reviewed by those that had it, stamped by time. kinda quality assurance. Perhaps the price should like a dutch auction, be dynamic and positively related to the review.

same for lenstube. If i were a beast trader or arbitrageur, or researcher, live pay-per-view would change the subscription model entirely by reducing my ability of adverse selection/moral hazard to viewers already subscribed and incentivize quality above quantity.

This surely isn't the incentive for content creators to join the platform as they carry more risk and need to provide consistently to earn a living, but maybe that's a good thing for what lens is supposed to be imo.

Generally love it! Especially having the same account for all social platforms and the possibility to collect content besides the obvious benefits of self-ownership of content and followers.

I would like to see more integrations between apps and stronger measures against bots. Also, strong algorithms for the feeds, although this is only a question of time. Would love to see apps working both for desktop and mobile. Also, more DAO infrastructure projects. And finally, Lens to open up so platforms can get more traffic.

I think it's crucial and I hope to see an emphasis on algorithm choice and development established, to both users and devs. Right now everything seems to be based on who you follow, the classic social graph, which is obviously very valuable. But the interest graph is even bigger (a la TikTok) and also super useful. And the ability to swap algos and timelines is where this is all heading, I'd love to see Lens get there first. 🙏
