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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

I think that by being part of the change, we will be able to really make a big difference. RIP Apollo
Getting fired from that place was the ~sob~ best thing that ever happened to me.
Why not just ignored those posts then? There are plenty of other posts to read.
Expect in the case of these two websites, I kinda WANT to hear people bitch about their ex.
I'd like to complain about people who hold things up by complaining about people complaining. It's about time something was done about it!
Or it could be like bitching about an ex to your therapist. Sometimes you need to get stuff off your chest. The good news is you don't need to read it.
I'm in 😎
True
well, some women will ask a lot of question about your exes...
that's like lemmy asking: "do you regret breaking up with reddit? what did you like about reddit?"
The posts about "What don't you want to see here from reddit?", "What communities did you like there that you want to see here?" Etc, are very helpful I think.
Talking about the over all situation there is a huge news story, and one the majority of us were personally involved on effected by.
Sure I understand wanting other content beyond "Fuck reddit, let me show you where u/spez touched me". There is a whole lot here that isn't that.
Maybe it a bias from learning how the site works, but just in the week or so I've been here I feel there is a lot more content and user engagement.
