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.

Before the whole reddit fiasco, many of my search results were directed to include reddit. I wish I could do the same with Lemmy but no one comments so it's not worth it.

I'm so conflicted right now.

I wish Duckduckgo would add a band that would search all of Lemmy via Activitypub

Plenty of people comment on Lemmy, but I think the main issue is that everything is split over multiple domains which seems to be ranked lower by search engines. I've recently been seeing Lemmy.world in Google search results, and even some from the "smaller" instances such as sh.itjust.works and db0.

Searxng has a way to query threadiverse posts, perhaps that works better.
