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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I’m hoping it takes off. It’s a confusing start but seems alright once you have a grasp.
The grasp I’m trying to get ahold of is where to locate where everyone jumped ship to? Is there a master list or do you just gotta hunt and hope for the best?
The instance you make your account on doesn't matter, as they're federated you can see and interact with posts from anywhere else.
You can check out the Lemmy community browser to see a list of the most visited communities, then search for them in https://lemmy.world/search to subscribe/post/comment. (note: beehaw.org communities arent accessible from lemmy.world, so ignore those)
Very helpful. Thank you so much!🍻

Appreciate the help. If you would be so kind on clearing up one more thing… how the fuck do I subscribe to stuff? I’m on mobile and can’t figure it out. I really feel out of touch my god it’s happening!
If the sub is on the instance you’re logged-in to (lemmy.works for you, I assume), then you just need to expand the “Sidebar” tab and tap “Subscribe”.
If it’s on another instance, you have to navigate to https://lemmy.world/c/sub@instance. So the main sub for sh.itjust.works would become (https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected])[https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]] THEN go into the sidebar and the “Subscribe” button will be there. I think of it as just using a different door to get to the same content. And at this door you know the bouncer.
Alternatively, the sorta short linked version within lemmy would be !sub@instance . So that would look like ([email protected])[[email protected]]. You can type that into the search from your main instance and the first result should be a link. That link will take you to a version of the sub with the same “Subscribe” option under the sidebar tab. Hope this helps!
Try wefwef! It's a web app, subscribing and everything else is very intuitive.
