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.

Reddit would become compatible with Lemmy essentially making it it's own "instance", and suddenly 3rd party apps work with Reddit again.

Full circle.

Money grab via IPO. During covid Reddit saw all the crap companies going public and making bank and tried to get in too, but the bubble popped before they could close a deal. Now they are trying again while things are on the upturn and investors are more willing

I wouldn't touch this IPO when it does happen, major rug-pull vibes
