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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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

I have tried a few so far but the content is all still from World so... Maybe I'm doing it wrong? 🤷🏻♂️
I mean if you’re on an alternate instance the idea is that you’ll still see content from other instances since they all share. Some decide to “defederate” which means they don’t want to share and disable it. But so yeah you will see content from world still if you’re on an alt instance but you should be seeing more than just that.
I think it might just have been the app I was using earlier. It was like two totally different feeds between Connect and Liftoff when filtering for the same thing. Connect shows me everything everywhere all at once. Liftoff was only showing instances I had added accounts for, despite it having a "show me everything" special filter. 🤷🏻♂️
Ahh gotcha. Yeah I’ve run into that too where the app was set to show something and it was causing confusion on my end
