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.

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.

I’m bringing this request back! Please let us choose which notifications we get. I only want to know if someone mentioned me. Please set us free from the internet points of how many people liked something

•notifications for convos are off. Either it says I have a bunch when I don’t, or it doesn’t notify me if I do. •I definitely miss notifications. Maybe if they could be filtered that would help?

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.
