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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The content is nice. The performance, not so much.
Yeah it’s got some growing pains. Anything worth it’s salt will have growing pains.
Even Reddit did back in the day. Ya know back when Aaron Schwartz was running the show.
I had a reddit account from early on and lemmy feels similar. Its gonna be great watching it evolve
Oh, yeah. It's inconvenient, but hopefully it will get better.
It will. The only way to fix problems is to release your application so you can see the problems. That’s how software works.
I get better performance from the colorful pills at the gas station
Try lemm.ee instance and Liftoff (wefwef.app) apps. Awesome speed.
Can we say we "made it" when megacorps start making their own instances and communities?
I think we'll have "made it" when You Tubers devote videos to reading Lemmy posts.
I don't think they'll use the actual Lemmy software. They'll probably make their own thing using the ActivityPub protocol.
And we'll start seeing "to view the whole post, register at Jojo Corp and get 25% of your first purchase!"
Based 😁❤️
Oh, crap. I just thought of something. What if they try bribing instance owners to stay federated with them?
Yeah, I'm hoping the overall speed of the site improves rapidly. I can't seem to upvote comments and my first comment appeared to get stuck posting until I refreshed the page and it did in fact post.
