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.

After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/ (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

Because in unicode strikethrough is achieved by superimposing the strikethrough character on another character. So any regular character, emojis included, can be striked through.

Don't see any difference for bold emojis.

Could you possibly share a screeny? They do not appear different on my app/device in italic and I’m so curious!

That italic emoji makes me uncomfortable.
