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.

As much as I hate to say it, the "migration" wasn't as large as some people would have thoughts it's going to be. Hoomans. Stoopid hoomans.

I'm not sure about raw numbers but Lemmy feels like home now and Reddit's content is significantly worse so it's still a win for me

I didn’t look back after moving here. The only thing where Reddit still excels is its old content that you bump into when searching stuff on Google and the presence of official corporate accounts/ subreddits.

speaking of searching stuff, how does lemmy work in that space?

Like would I ever find this comment if I search it on Google?

I tried searching for Kbin Enhancement Suite posts on Kbin via Google... Guess what? All the results came back for RES for Reddit! On Reddit.

There is a search engine being developed specifically for Lemmy for just this kind of thing: search-lemmy.com

Zero results so far. Will be interesting to see how long it takes to index. EDIT: 24 hour later indexed (see my other comment)

this is on Google? then I guess Google Indexes fediverse?

[–] z3n0x@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Yep. And 24 hour index time (perhaps even faster) isn't half bad.

[–] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 2 years ago

Makes sense, websites and internet and such.

[–] jherazob@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I believe there's people already working on that, but no idea how they're doing these days
