we don’t put our friends onto enough everyday things irl. it feels good to bond over the mundane and even better when it actually helps someone.
• the car wash on sunset is so cheap— have you tried it?
• i used a scallion pancake as sandwich bread and it changed my life. you should try it.
• i’d give up my firstborn child to read the song of achilles for the first time. want to borrow it?
• there’s a tinydesk performance that i watch once a week to remind myself that god exists. check it out.
• theres this message board that’s just ppl recommending things to each other. here look.
if there’s a point system to get into heaven, i think a good rec holds some weight.

this app is so important. i haven’t been on here because i didnt Want to be #LEECHING and not recommending but i realized even the dumb small stuff is worth sharing. the dumb small stuff everyone else shares is what keeps us all going every day. it’s what makes life real and it’s what keeps me hopeful when im drunk and sad

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

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”. 🫶

music junkie? into niche sounds? compelled to scream your insufferable sonic opinions into the void? love to quantify your loosely held beliefs with obscure meaningless metrics?
AOTY is a great way to discover, ponder, and ruminate on music of all kinds.
