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.

I have been having alright time with my instance, on Lemmy World instances though I have noticed a big delay in posting, I think it might just be Lemmy.World getting hammered

This is all I want. Just text, nothing more. Just like reddit.compact version that they took away.

I purposefully avoided the “main” lemmy instances because I thought it would be more in the “fediverse spirit” to contribute to a smaller community, I joined Lemmy.ca as a Canuck.

So far our instance is running good and we have plans ready to scale up when needed. Our standard of performance that we will strive to meet at all times is extremely fast.
