Rec'd on ⭐ THOUGHTS ON THE NEW LIKE COUNT?
THE LIKE COUNT MAKES PI LESS ENJOYABLE FOR ME
I find myself instinctively looking at posts differently now that I see a like count, even though that should mean nothing to me. The notification counter is similar. I would like to ignore it, but the numbers make that impossible. I expect these things increase engagement statistics, and maybe that’s crucially important, but they make my experience worse.

My unpopular opinion is that y’all may be taking this a little bit too seriously. I like that I’m someone’s star regardless of the number shown :)

I’ve been opening the app less over the past few days and closing it more quickly tbh. I can sympathize with the admins bc a purely qualitative user experience is probably not the most practical or conducive for growth. but a homie can dream.

Post notifications
I got a notification that my rec was ‘xth most popular in the app‘ yesterday. Admittedly a cool feature, but honestly it goes against what pifyi is about in my mind, in the same way we don’t have follower counts on our profile, or cant see the amount of likes on a post at a glance, I don’t think we need to notifications like these either.

Please change notifications
The other day i opened the app and I had no notifications - and I felt bad! Another day I had a couple dozen and was happy. I don’t think that’s how this app needs to be. Likes are meaningless and I don’t want to know about them. I want the little number at the bottom of the app to show if someone commented or mentioned me, or started following me. A lot of the time that will be zero, and that would be great. We just need a checklist of notifications where we can choose which we want. I know, notifications bring dopamine and make people want to open the app all the time.

separating the like count from the comment button
The way it's positioned now, I keep thinking there are comments when there aren't.

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists. The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.
