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.

Even the user interface brings back the memory...

I would just wish there would be a new Reddit view as well. It is just so annoying having to click on the images to zoom in

Join a smaller instance. That is what I did and I’m having no performance issues now.

That depends on the instance you’re on.

I expected to see issues with just the offending instance even on another instance account, but hopped onto one of my smaller ones and found this post again much faster because it didn't take forever to load the page and again to load into the comments.

That's pretty dope!

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

It's just lemmy.world, because majority of people jumped on it.

Use different instances to get better experience (you can still subscribe to communities that aren't on your server)

Is that why I need to click to subscribe 5 times having it time out every time?

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