# Pinning Pinning is a lightweight way to keep track of people you want to come back to. It's useful when: - You're having a good [[Usage/Messaging|chat]] and don't want it to disappear into old activity. - You found someone interesting while [[Usage/Browsing|browsing]], but want to write later. - You want a small set of people to stay easy to find. - You're using **pinned-only** profile visibility and want specific people to be able to see/message you. Pinning is mostly for **your own organization**. It isn't a match, promise, endorsement, or requirement that the other person pin you back. ## What pinning does Pinned users are easier to find from your dashboard / chats workflow. Wusoup also reserves some room for pinned users, so they don't fall away just because there are newer or noisier chats. If your profile visibility is set to **Only users you've pinned**, then only your pinned users can see or message you. This can be useful when you want to stay in touch with existing Wusoup friends without being open to everyone new. You can unpin someone any time from their profile or chat controls. ## When to unpin Unpin someone when: - You're no longer actively chatting. - You pinned them as a reminder and don't need the reminder anymore. - You want to make room for someone else. - You don't want them included in your pinned-only visibility list. Unpinning isn't the same as [[Usage/Blocking|blocking]]. It just removes that special "keep track of this person" marker. ## Why is there a pin limit? Scarcity! You can currently pin up to **50 users**. If you try to pin more, Wusoup may make room by unpinning the least recently active pinned user. The limit is intentional. It helps provide a certain "use-it-or-lose-it" incentive. We're here to **talk** to one another, not collect pinned profiles like baseball cards. Think of it like social fibre - the limit helps keep things moving, and encourages people to actually write each other instead of just thinking "maybe one day".
