Hey Frens. As you all know, in the past weeks we announced our cooperation with CyberConnect. Now you can connect a ccProfile to Phaver.
Here's how:
1. First restart Phaver app.
2. Go to https://connect.phaver.com/
3. Login to your account*
4. Click "Connect my ccProfile"
5. Choose the handle - Click verify, then give wallet permissions and It's done!
(*If you signed up with Google or mail and you don't know your password, you can't login by clicking Google logo in https://connect.phaver.com/ . This is because Google banned Metamask. You need to log out from your Phaver account from application. Than you should click "Joined us already? Log in". You will see "Forgot your password?" at the bottom of page. Write your Google mail and you will get a reset password mail. Then you will be able to access your Phaver account via mail and password.)
Also thank you for supporting us during the voting process.

- Sort by: Latest + Filter by: My follows = Latest from your Lens+Phaver followed users
- Sort by: Most mirrored + Filter by: Lens posts = Hottest posts across all Lens apps today

Feedback is welcome and we are still working hard on fine tuning this.

Important news!
Phaver just made a big change by migrating to use the Lens API instead of our own solution for posting on Lens. This will mean all Lens users will need to sign into Lens again inside Phaver to continue posting or commenting on Lens. This only has to be done once and after that you can also post seamlessly from any Lens platform without having to assign a dispatcher each time. This should also improve the stability and success rate of Lens posting and prepare us for a lot of growth in the future.
What do I need to do?
Close and reopen the app to apply latest updates. If you don’t have Lens connected this will not change anything for you. If you have connected a Lens profile and try to make a post after today’s migration it will ask you to assign a new dispatcher, just follow the instructions and sign with the same wallet you used to connect Lens. You can also complete the process by clicking on your Lens username in your profile. Please note that connect.phaver.com has not yet been updated for the new Lens API flow so you can only assign the new dispatcher inside the Phaver app. The browser flow will be updated next week. If you face any errors in the process please try again after a while and if the issue continues, report it in the #lens-support channel on Phaver Discord.
What does this actually mean?
As Phaver was the first mobile app to be released on Lens, we had to build a lot of custom solutions to allow everyone to post without having to sign each message with your wallet. Now Lens offers support for this on their side and also allows all apps to work with the same dispatcher to minimize need for signing things. Some things like follows are not yet done through the API but continue to work normally. This update also allows a better handling of any spiking gas fees on Polygon so we can provide a more stable service for everyone. Your posts will still be indexed to the chain just like before so for a user this does not cause any changes beyond the first need to sign in again.

Most Mirrored sort to feed
Mirroring allows sharing any post on your own timeline, just like retweeting on Twitter. This helps you not only share the coolest posts to your own followers but also earn additional rewards by curating in-app posts into more accurate topics. Most Mirrored sort to feed sorts posts based on how many mirrors they have (1 day)
We are still working on some updates in the reward mechanism where majority of the staking rewards will go to the original content creator, but in every case you also get rewarded when mirroring content others will love.

NEW FEATURE: Mirroring
Mirroring allows sharing any post on your own timeline, just like retweeting on Twitter. This helps you not only share the coolest posts to your own followers but also earn additional rewards by curating in-app posts into more accurate topics.

Hot tip for mirroring
Click on the Lens logo on the top of the feed page to access a Lens-only feed and look for posts with the topic “Lens”. They have been created outside Phaver and have no topic so you can be the first one to put them in the right place.
Additional version 5.9.67 information!
As you might have noticed, we have had to revert the Android version back to 5.9.6., and unfortunately this means that you are unable to use the new mirroring feature on Android for a while.
What does this mean for Android users?
You may need to reinstall the app to access the app again, due to the version change. If the app asks you for an invite code, remember to use EARLYBIRD

NEW FEATURE: Reactions
Up/downvotes have now been replaced by reactions that give you a lot more options to contribute! Wish GM to your fellow members or nudge them if they posted in the wrong topic or seem to be spamming. Soon we’ll also automoderate posts based on the spam & NSFW reactions to keep the feed clean (enough reactions will send posts to moderators)
NEW FEATURE: Reporting posts
If you see something that you think should be removed (spam, scam, erotic content, hate speech etc.) you can send it to our mods directly by using the updated Report-option in the … menu next to each post. Please remember to give context why you’re reporting a post.
Mod queue (for in-app mods)
As we prepare to onboard also community members as mods Reddit-style, we now have a new mod-queue that allows us to quickly react to your reports.
Timeouting profiles (for in-app mods)
From now on if you violate our content guidelines the mods can give you a timeout of 2 or 7 days during which you can not make new posts. If the violations keep repeating you may lose the privilege of posting into topics entirely or for larger violations be removed from the app. At any point you can reach our mods on Discord for further questions and you’ll receive a notification if a timeout happens.
