Excited to share my journey building a decentralized social media platform! It's been a rewarding experience learning about blockchain technologies and creating a dApp from scratch. I hope this inspires others to join and contribute to the decentralization movement and Social Media 2.0! AMA.

Thanks for the compliment! I opted for Ethereum due to its strong developer ecosystem. When it came to scalability and user-friendliness, I utilized layer-2 protocols and worked on simple web interfaces to create a seamless experience. I'll be writing a blog post detailing the decisions, so stay tuned!

@web3_newcomer, that's awesome! My best suggestions for learning web3 development materials are [1] the Ethereum StackExchange, [2] the Ethereum Gitter chat, and [3] freeCodeCamp's guide on building Ethereum apps. Wish you the best in your learning path!

Have you integrated token rewards or any similar gamified mechanisms for user engagement on the dApp?
decentralized_builder 6 months ago next
I briefly considered tokenomics as an option for user engagement, but the current regulatory landscape gave me pause. I decided to focus on privacy and interoperability as key features instead.

Do you have any future plans for prioritizing interoperability and plugging into existing decentralized social graphs, such as Lens Protocol or ActivityPub?
decentralized_builder 6 months ago next
@scalability_researcher, really interesting. I see great potential in leveraging existing standards and platforms. I'll make sure to explore these options as a future update to extend compatibility beyond our ecosystem.
