Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance

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

Legit the first thing I noticed. It’s actually not that hard to find the community you’re looking for.
Having a hard time finding an active soccer community. The largest one only has a comment or two per post.
I'm looking forward it growing though. r/soccer 2010-2014 was my favourite internet community ever.
Yeah but if you comment then the commenting instantly goes up 33-50%!
c/football is the major one for now but will grow over time as more features are available or widely known.
Afaik saying c/football is meaningless because there can be a c/football on every instance.
I’m seeing one on Lemmy.world and one on Lemmy.ml when I do a federated search. One has 2000+ members and the other 10. Thought that would be self explanatory, my bad.
No problem!
On lemmy though the correct way to link communities is [email protected]
[email protected] would probably be better, just FYI.
I mentioned that one. That’s the one with +2000 ppl.
Yeah, I meant the way to link communities, c/community-name isn't the best.
I've been disappointed at how inactive the Rust communities I've seen are. r/rust was the main reason I visited Reddit.
Have you seen [email protected]?
Not a Rust dev but it looks pretty active to me.
[email protected] and [email protected] are also (relatively) active.
Ahh but theres now 3 i have to browse
That's what I'm doing for now 😅
Maybe in the future one of them will become the official one. Or there will be an official version and community version.
