Rec | NOT TRYING TO WIN PI.FYI

🏆

sadly this is an aspirational rec cuz my brain actually loves getting positive feedback on social media (esp from all the cool and fun people on here) we all wanna be seen methinks

recc’ing from the heart

As pi.fyi gains popularity I notice more and more people using it like twitter/trying to hit an algorithm/”tweetdecking” recs/memeing so incongruent to me because pi truly feels like a place of respite from all the aforementioned internet behavior. using it to identify and share small joys from your day, talk about things you want more of in your life, share about yourself, explore things you’re curious about … I promise that’s “good content”. 🫶

i love that i can’t see other people’s follower counts or automatically see their # of likes

one of the worst features of many social media apps i think is the ability to see like/follow counts, because even if you don’t care about it it’s still kind of shoved in your face on those apps and definitely in the dominant/popular culture there’s this perception of follows/likes are an achievement of some kind. i really like that beyond the straightforward trending users/recs feature (which rotates pretty regularly, plus i think it still captures the fun of being like “hell yeah this post is a banger”), there isn’t any way to tell what or who is “popular” or “successful” or whatever else on this app, nor any incentive to try to be those things as a user in general i just think it leads to more natural and genuine interactions between users, because the only thing we can see about each other is our little bios, mutuals, and our recs which are the whole point of being on here anyway! so thank you to the people making this app for making pi.fyi that kind of space through features like this!!

instagram rec

some guy recommends cool parts of the internet and i was lucky enough to see that video and find pi.fyi :) i absolutely love it, i already got three of my closest friends to download it lol (but i sent them the wrong link so i accidentally only referred one of them loln't... there goes my mug) i definitely do, i feel like in other apps/social media there's just this expected behaviour or social cues u must follow that make me barely post or just severely overthink whenever i do. that never happens here, it really feels like a journal with cool people who support ur every move, no matter how silly it is hehe
