Lens V1 posts are back for collection π€π½
During the migration from Lens V1 to V2, a snag emerged β the inability to collect posts shared pre-V2. This caught the attention of some Lens OGs who had been actively posting and reposting the issue.
But guess what? There's good news! The Lens Devs Team, led by the one and only Josh, swiftly intervened and worked their magic to solve the issue π₯
As Josh shared, "This is not the case anymore; you can now collect V1 follow-only publications!"
Now, collecting those cherished V1 posts is back on the menu, showcasing the collaborative spirit of the Lens community and its Devs in tackling web3 challenges π
Last but not least, we need to give a huge shoutout to Alan for fixing the issue!

Curated Collects - The Mushroom Forest π
This one is a great post! Here's the lowdown ππΌ
Ruthless took a stroll through a German forest with his four-legged buddy, decided to film it and it turned into a wild adventure πΆ
He found mini creatures, a sneaky salamander, and decided to taste some forest mushrooms π
Things got interesting, to say the least π The cherry on the top? The narration! Picture David Attenborough, but more laid-back!
This isn't your usual documentary; it's a chill and amusing forest exploration!
Watch as the mushrooms work their magic π€ͺ
