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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

You just did!
So I only ever need an account with one instance to browse the whole "fedeverse"?
For the most part, yes. The exception is if either the instance you're trying to post to, or the instance you're on, have defederated ("block") from one another then that won't work.
Pretty much. Isn't it wonderful?
There are some exceptions though. Your instance might have chosen to defederate with another one (or vice versa). Then you won't see that content and they won't see yours (sort of, there are some differences between defederating and being defederated, but that's the gist).
Actually to me it's essential, feddit.ch is pretty empty so if I needed a seperate account with each instance and to switch between them I would feel like I'm missing out on too much content. Now I see the potential
Well, to browse Lemmy and Kbin. The Fediverse is much larger than those two.
You'll also not be able to interact with any instances that yours is defederated from, but it looks like you're currently not blocking anyone at all so that's not a concern. You can check federation lists at https://feddit.ch/instances
