Asking for recs on pi.fyi
I used to love scrolling through all the asks and replying to people requesting recs on things. People don’t seem to be asking for stuff anymore? Related Rec: recing actual things rather than concepts or esoteric actions.

Yeah I also feel like people don’t want to reply because it’s so permanent in your feed or something. Seeing a lot of empty asks

eatgraeps I think that’s maybe part of it. Also I think maybe some newer people don’t realise that it’s a thing? Need to create a culture of scrolling the asks!

You didn’t ask for a rec but I’ve been listening to gato barbieri a lot recently 🙂 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4KiZk-cMBVc&pp=ygUUZ2F0byBiYXJiaWVyaSBuacOxb3M%3D

Show recs vs asks
I miss being able to show only recs and only asks, not sure if it moved somewhere else

re-ask an ask
I’d like the feature to re-ask an ask like how you can re-rec. Because sometimes I come across an ask I think is really good and would like others to see and reply to, especially if it has 0 recs under it

use old rec to answer new ask
sometimes people ask things i’ve already rec’d, and i think it would be cool if we could re-rec old recs specifically for this occasion

Pi.fyi friends
I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
