Welcome to the My Lens Journey series!

Check out his story below 👇

👉 When did your Lens journey start?

I joined Lens on September 23, 2022. Back then, the Lens community was still in its early stages, with only a few of us actively posting and engaging. Despite this, there was a unique sense of community that made me feel welcomed right from the start.

👉 What’s your favorite thing about the Lens ecosystem?

What I like the most about Lens, tech-wise, is its portability and the ownership it grants you over your profile and social graph. But let's be real, my absolute favorite thing is the community itself.

People here are friendly and supportive, and there's none of that rug-pulling drama you might find elsewhere. On Lens, banter and serious topics walk side by side in a healthy way.

👉 Your favorite @lens app?

Talking about portability, my go-to apps to use are @buttrfly & @orbapp .

👉 What are your expectations for the Lens ecosystem in 2024?

The new smart posts and community features are going to make it awesome for existing Lens users and bring in those looking for a real web3 social vibe.

I'm expecting to see a bunch of cool projects popping up, adding more social features and utility to the ecosystem. Hoping these projects will provide more support for Creators.
