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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy (self.showerthoughts)

Maybe it's just because there's less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day.

Could this be an example of the affects of addictive social media?

I'm using the web interface on Firefox and have only ever logged in once so far, when I made my account. It must be something on your end, do you maybe automatically clear cookies or sth?

Brave on Android. Cookies not cleared automatically.

On the Desktop I can login fine on Chrome, not at all on Firefox.

On android I'd rather use the web browser. So many apps I don't trust. Between Spoutible, Mastadon, and Lemmy It's simpler to use the same browser for all.
