IPFS refs could be used to:

cache entire profiles
convert a directory tree to json which has many use cases, for example:
- counting posts and comments

So the plan is:

[ ] count how many posts/comments are there
[ ] during the count, keep track of the latest timestamp found in the object's names if possible, then use it to determine last known activity
