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

To be fair the majority of posts I see have barely any comments at all. Not sure if that is so much better.

when it has comments, it rarely have replies

edit: i guess the /s was needed

Be patient my friend, the engagements will come. Although the instances having issues doesn't really make people want to browse lemmy. I practically never browsed past the first page of the feed before Sync for Lemmy got released.

It is so much better now then it was a month ago so imo we are now a floating boat rather than a sinking one that we are using buckets to keep floating
