Like so, it would make scrolling through posts more cohesive and it would be easier to skim.
But shower thoughts are text posts…why do we need an image ?

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

I was thinking in general for Lemmy, but this now seems more appropriate for an unpopular opinion community lol
I think you’re right 😂
Looks awful on my client
:(
Lets not
.. It's a shower with a lightbulb on it. Not a shuttlecock. Who thought it was a shuttlecock? Not me, nope, that's for sure.
I definitely did not think it was a rocket without ever really looking at it closely.
Please, no.
Only in a compact view though.
Not even in compact view on kbin. For us, thumbnails aren't automatically included in compact and I happen to hate both those things.
Lemmy is big enough that unless I did, there would be no getting away from seeing the same massive identical image over and over forever on all non-image posts, and any original photos would instantly become oases. Everyone would be forced to use those exact settings just to make it half-bearable. Fuck that.
Having just checked how this post looks on the logged-out lemmy site, this suggestion makes a hell of a lot more sense than it did, because this does not look to me like OP thinks it does, I assure you. I was all set to make fun of them and everything.
Really, it's just a want to make the sub icon more visible. Whole thing seems kinda niche, but you could make it happen on a user level. Just not by forcing every post to be an image post, please god
Then each thumb swipe would only get me through two posts. Are you using an app? I've stuck with jerboa because it puts the community name at the top in a color. Makes it easy to scroll.
I browse on PC, so maybe this should only be a PC thing?
