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”. 🫶

seeing pi.fyi become its own thing

I don't think it's quite there yet, but I do think it's in the process of, as I notice increasing recs from people who aren't featured on the PI newsletter, get on the main page the day famous / recognized people are being featured. This tells me organic recs are being valued more than what people in the newsletter have to say. Sometimes the people who get a feature without being members of the community don't even make it in the What's Hot section, or they take too long to get there, or only one to a few recs of theirs get on the main page. Instead, people prioritize something that they can relate to, coming from a typically old profile that knows the platform. I've also seen a rise in people actually recommending stuff, which is great to see. Most of the time, what makes it on the main page is an abstract thought, but more and more people are leaning into the nature of the site, which is making recommendations. Love.

Noticing a dialogue between two recs on pi

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.
