A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

It's slower than reddit ever was.... at least in the 14 years I was there.
Since all the instances are independent, it's going to be very difficult to recreate completely the experience of a corporate behemoth. But it's that independence which also give this platform true freedom and potential longevity, so the tradeoffs seem worth it. It should also be said that the load overall has gone up a lot since reddit just shut off the 3rd party apps officially, so we should see better results moving forward as things equalize after the rush.
