Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

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]

I mentioned that one. That’s the one with +2000 ppl.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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] 1 points 2 years ago

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.
