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

Hey, the speed issue is solely because the instance you're on, Lemmy.world, is way overcrowded. You can resolve this issue by joining a smaller instance or even hosting your own. The best part of Lemmy is you aren't tied to any one server. You can create an account on a different instance/site and never miss a Lemmy post. I'm on my own private instance and have zero issues with loading speed
That sounds very doable. I'll have to look for a tutorial and work on that next chance that I get.
How do I transfer my subscriptions to another server, though? Do you really just have to re-sub to everything all over again?
Because I have so many subs now…
Yes that's an annoyance but I would expect support for that in the medium term.
I made an account on a separate server just to test and it does indeed perform tons better. Just sucks there isn’t some way to “own” your user and download like a fingerprint of it on demand from a server, so you could easily transfer yourself somewhere else.
