One of the things I like the most about Pi.fyi and the current scale of users is that it's still noticeable when a rec was inspired by another. Sometimes the rec directly mentions the other, but other times you can kinda assume that reading an especific thing here triggered a memory or an ideia. It's very cute and interesting to notice the small influences interacting with other humans online can have.

kkelmyss very true hihi, though I don't think people try to fit themselves into specific niches, it's great to see their interests come through

I know! I love how small it feels for a social media. I get that it growing might be the goal because it's important for sustaining it maybe but I so want it to stay this intimate and simple

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”. 🫶

it feels like the recs i see getting the most engagement (on my page and in general) are the self-referential ones that mention pi.fyi in some way. a self affirming community. will we run out of things to say??? idk . xoxo anyways

Since I started using PI.FYI last month, I've posted 100 times in three weeks—a 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! — 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 sites—Fartbook, Instabutt, Substack Nuts, etc—shows that it would have taken several years to hit three digits. Something about this space—which I think is the most exciting online place since 2020-era Substack, RIP—has 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 — 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! — maybe this is #1
