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 completely agree on principal.
But also think that the rule of Lemmy is that all algorithms end at porn.
But it’s our porn and has unique surroundings of anime, politics, and Dutch.
Huh? I don't see any porn, regardless of what sort I choose. Ah, that's because there's a checkbox in your settings to let you choose whether to see NSFW posts or not. I guess turning that off works really well.
Turning it on doesn't work well either. I have enabled NSFW and never see any of it. Yes, I have subbed to everything on lemmnsfw, and none of it shows up in any feed
Weird. Then either our instances are secretly blocking it, not through defederation, or there's some other mysterious technical reason for it.
Many (most?) instances do block porn. Aside from liability concerns, porn tends to be high bandwidth, meaning high costs to operate. As such, there are a handful of VERY NSFW instances that aren't well-federated.
Of course, it depends on how you define porn. I see a ton of suggestive (but not outright pornographic) anime when I browse All/New, but very little of actual naked humans.
I totally understand why they would do it. I don't understand why or how they block the NSFW instances without them appearing in the list of blocked instances.
Not secretly, there is literally a list of blogged instances. There you’ll find nazis or titties Maybe both :)
(I don’t have the link at hand, but giyf)
lemmynsfw appears to be blocked secretly on lemm.ee. It's not listed under blocked instances there, but I can't see any posts from lemmynsfw there either. There must be some other mechanism that's available besides blocking instances in the open.
Mmh ok. Thats too bad. Hoped at least this part of administration is “open”. I fixed the issue by making a second account on the blocked instance. It’s like a used Reddit to. One account for stuff and another for “stuff”
Yeah, that's how I do it too. Although some instances don't seem to block it, you would have to find out which, and that may be difficult to find.
And Marge Simpson, don't forget her!
already said “porn”
I literally just saw a merge sort meme with marge
Yes, I study sort algorithms as well...

I don't rlly wanna see straight porn (no hate, just not my thing xd) and honestly, I was in a pretty good spot. Then someone told me I was scrolling active instead of hot and OH MY- that's a lot of porn
You're sorting by hot, shouldn't it be only porn? /s
Hey listen, that c++ code do be looking kind of sexy.
All good in the hood.
I live in /All sorted by New.
Many reasons, but I just like… seeing the whole gooey blob and sticking my hand in it.
That's how I do it too, but after reading your "hand in the blob" comment, perhaps I'll start wearing gloves.
I have no idea what you are saying but I upvoted because porn
