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

Why is this in showerthoughts and not in the community for whatever client this is?
Because it's a shower thought about reading things on small devices and not a feature request?
This is not a Lemmy or app-specific problem.
Guess i just discovered a secret useless superpower...
in a lemmy client i'm making i've been tempted to remember the position or maybe comment you left the post on and scroll to that spot when you return to it
could maybe even set a # parameter if it doesn't mess with the SPA router
That's neat!
Do all phones display the same amount of text or is it based on device screen size?
these days it's kinda consistent but it will vary a lot based on device size, zoom, font rendering .. all sorts of things
browsers have different default behaviors when you go back to a page too that add to the complexity
