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.

They even brought over the nobody replies to my comments part. Crazy!

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

Even the servers are method acting

Yeah, every time I try to upvote something, it'll take like 10-15 seconds to register

I hear that it depends heavily on the instance you're on. Personally I'm thinking of making a programming.dev account and seeing how that works.

I forgive it. It has tremendous potential

The top three instances a currently overcrowded. I recommend checking out a smaller instance (for example https://laguna.chat).

Smaller instances are still able to access to same content. But it is just a different server that processes the content.

But are they ? I posted a comment a couple of days ago via lemmy.world on a 'remotely hosted' community, and then viewed the same post via its 'native' instance, and my comment never showed up, even days later.

Lemmy.world is having some performance issues, so perhaps the comment just didn't get pushed out

Like the good old times

Yeah but these guys aren't trying to make a profit from us and Reddit had venture capital money.

Anything to make you feel at home 🥰
