Showerthoughts

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I expected to see issues with just the offending instance even on another instance account, but hopped onto one of my smaller ones and found this post again much faster because it didn't take forever to load the page and again to load into the comments.

That's pretty dope!

Legit the first thing I noticed. It’s actually not that hard to find the community you’re looking for.

Having a hard time finding an active soccer community. The largest one only has a comment or two per post.

I'm looking forward it growing though. r/soccer 2010-2014 was my favourite internet community ever.

Yeah but if you comment then the commenting instantly goes up 33-50%!

I’m worried about the search function. Every post ever made?

This is all I want. Just text, nothing more. Just like reddit.compact version that they took away.

Is that why I need to click to subscribe 5 times having it time out every time?

It's just lemmy.world, because majority of people jumped on it.

Use different instances to get better experience (you can still subscribe to communities that aren't on your server)
