I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. Itâs made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought Iâd feel the same way about URL friends. Iâm constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
Itâs nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. Iâm going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!

As pi.fyi gains popularity I notice more and more people using it like twitter/trying to hit an algorithm/âtweetdeckingâ 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 youâre curious about ⊠I promise thatâs âgood contentâ. đ«¶

Since I started using PI.FYI last month, I've posted 100 times in three weeksâa combo of asks and recs.
Sidebar: I think there's not too much or too little posting. You could post dozens of times daily or you could never post at all, and if it is the right fit for you, then good! â Embrace the right fit for you and shun any kind of comparisons with anyone or any false self bullshit measuring sticks.
For me one hundred posts in three weeks is prodigious. A casual scan back at my usage of other social media type sitesâFartbook, Instabutt, Substack Nuts, etcâshows that it would have taken several years to hit three digits.
Something about this spaceâwhich I think is the most exciting online place since 2020-era Substack, RIPâhas re-sparked that creative community spirit.
I love:
- the people
- the structure that is organized around asking and offering
- the fact that I've picked up stupendously great advice on a whole range of things â from notebooks to health tips to life hacks and new music and books and so much more
- the sincerity: I've seen this recced before, yes! â maybe this is #1

Top Recs from @marianoleonczik
florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones â we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness â weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like thereâs a special connectivity on this app that I havenât felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010âs tumblr. The fact that you canât promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isnât mass video content like Tik Tok is great. Itâs not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope weâll all be here for a long time.
