Showerthoughts

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

I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

While I, too, appreciate this, I honestly have no idea how to link to another Lemmy instance (or whatever we call them).

[–] kvothe99@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I think its supposed to be: !community@instance

Yup, !showerthoughts@lemmy.world
When you type ! and then letters it will bring up a drop down menu

I'm gonna need you to do that about 100 more times and with different communities. Just so I can add them. Jerboa search is wonky lol

You can use this: https://lemmyverse.net/communities to find communities, when you go to a community it will have a link in the sidebar like: !community@instance.com you may have to paste that link into your instance search bar for it to show up. (I think this is only if nobody from your instance has searched for it yet.) Its kinda a pain, but I think this will be a lot easier later down the road.

Just like how we used to do it in the old days, just copy and paste the actual URL
