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 like those metrics. Means I got like 500k upvotes in three weeks... but then I'm on https://kbin.social, so a bunch of that's coming from Mastodon, and kbin's community loves to upvote. That's ok - I fully accept the false affirmation of fake internet point inflation.
I'm on Lemmy and I love to upvote.
Apparently, Kbin users can also see what Lemmy users upvote them. Is that correct?
Yep - each post has an activity section that lists boosts, reduces (Mastodon style instances) and favorites (upvotes - Lemmy style instances) and the users who made them. Upvotes are under the favorites tab. Examples:
