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.

I keep seeing people refer to a “front page” which isn’t really a thing that exists since it’s completely different depending on which instance you’re on, which feed you’re looking at and how you sort it, but I have no idea what that was on Reddit either since I always stuck to my subscriptions.

"front page" is just your "subscribed" feed here.

The other difference here is that we don't have an "/r/all" (meaning everything on reddit), there is the "local" feed, that would be, "all" communities of the specific instance.

And there is an "All" feed, but it isn't all the communities on every instance, there you only see all the communities any user of your instance is subscribed to.

Yeah I understand how the feeds work but I keep seeing people reference seeing things on "the front page of lemmy.world" or challenging themselves to "make it to the Lemmy front page" and I'm just like...this makes no sense! 😄
