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
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.

The content is nice. The performance, not so much.
Yeah it’s got some growing pains. Anything worth it’s salt will have growing pains.
Even Reddit did back in the day. Ya know back when Aaron Schwartz was running the show.
Oh, yeah. It's inconvenient, but hopefully it will get better.
It will. The only way to fix problems is to release your application so you can see the problems. That’s how software works.
I get better performance from the colorful pills at the gas station
Try lemm.ee instance and Liftoff (wefwef.app) apps. Awesome speed.
Yeah, I'm hoping the overall speed of the site improves rapidly. I can't seem to upvote comments and my first comment appeared to get stuck posting until I refreshed the page and it did in fact post.
Can we say we "made it" when megacorps start making their own instances and communities?
I think we'll have "made it" when You Tubers devote videos to reading Lemmy posts.
I don't think they'll use the actual Lemmy software. They'll probably make their own thing using the ActivityPub protocol.
And we'll start seeing "to view the whole post, register at Jojo Corp and get 25% of your first purchase!"
Based 😁❤️
Oh, crap. I just thought of something. What if they try bribing instance owners to stay federated with them?
