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

It's the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

Maybe im used to Boost on reddit but damn, does it feel weird to vote/reply using 3 dots on the right lol.

You're upvoting wrong, my friend.

Try sliding the comment / post from left to right. Slide further to downvote.

Yes, exactly! That's my main grip with wefwef, same as not being able to swipe right to exit a thread and go back to the feed.

But most of the current apps lack some sort of behaviour customizations we're used to, so I'm keeping two or three of them checked in case of updates.

Thank goodness I’m not the only one with this problem! I’ve gotten into the habit of sliding right from the lines in between posts, but imo this should be taken care of(especially to imitate the quality greatness that was the Apollo app).

Update: this is fixed in the latest Lemmy update.

Im pretty sure all these apps got created just this month so they would obviously not be feature complete yet, when i joined the only apps were jerboa and mlem
