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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Yea I'm having a lot of issues like crashing, and it takes a minute to "send" my post. Is that normal? I'm using "connect for lemmy" on android.

What instance are you signed up for? Lemmy.world and a few of the other biggest servers are pretty overloaded from the reddit influx. Moving to a smaller instance would belp with load times, or give it a few days for your server admin to upgrade it.

Hey, I'm using both Jerboa and Connect, and I can't even comment due to some weird timeout errors, followed by random code strings.

You sure? Thus posted twice. Sometimes it just looks like it didn't go through.

Jebora was really buggy for me. Connect has been teally good tho... are you on one of the overloaded instances (like lemmy.world)? The new influx of users has caused a few of the super big instances to have some issues. Creating an account on a less populated server should help with some of the issues (or waiting a few days until the overloaded servers get a chance to upgrade their equipment)

Fittingly, your comment got posted twice

I was using Connect, half the time it would error out. Just moved to Liftoff. Feels quicker. Currently running both side by side; Connect is still giving errors but Liftoff seems problem free on exactly the same posts/channels. Will however move back to Sync as soon as it is ready (that was my default for Reddit)
