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.

You just did!

So I only ever need an account with one instance to browse the whole "fedeverse"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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
