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

People would use "Hide all political posts and comments" more often than any other filter (lemm.ee)

Is there an option to filter by keyword? Not on the app I use, but is that a Lemmy/kbin/etc feature that the app just doesn’t implement? I’d love to filter any mention of:

  • Leftist/right-wing/alt-left/alt-right

  • Nazis

  • Capitalism

  • Trump

  • Trudeau

  • Biden

  • LGBT+ (let’s be honest, 99% of content mentioning it is ragebait/political/controversial in some way)

  • Gun control

  • Abortion

The list goes on. I’d probably end up with like two posts a day on my feed but damn would those posts be peaceful.

Sync for Lemmy has keyword filters, I think. Or at the very least it's on the roadmap. I haven't tried them myself yet, only back on Sync for Reddit.
