Lens Updates ๐ŸŒฟ

Orb Communities are thriving ๐Ÿš€

Right now, there are 25 ๐Ÿคฏ active communities on Orb, and guess what? They're sprouting up faster than mushrooms in a forest ๐Ÿ„

Some are open to everyone, while others are by invite-only or token-gated. This feature is a game-changer for web3 social apps.

Imagine having your own community within the Lens ecosystem โ€“ you can keep it private or open, and choose to post just for your community or for the whole wide world.

๐Ÿšจ Fresh out of the oven ๐Ÿšจ โ€“ you can now spin up custom badges for Orb community members with Coinvise ๐Ÿ‘€ Read here about this exciting new partnership with Coinvise!

This isn't just a boost for Lens; it's a win for the entire web3 social scene.

It opens doors for new job opportunities, accelerates project growth, and can even generate revenue if that's what the community is after ๐Ÿš€
