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'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button (lemmy.world)

I really wish there could be tags and sub-tags.

Tag examples:

  • Politics
  • Sport
  • Anime
  • News
  • AI

Sub-tag examples:

  • US
  • Europe
  • Africa
  • Basketball
  • Volleyball
  • F1

Some sort of curated list by Lemmy developers that might change over time depending on user demand.

Then client apps can fetch such list from any server and allow you to apply such filter.

Imagine being able to block whole category of sports? Anime? News? Whatever people want/don't want.

I would like the platform itself to support this, as I often use the website.

That's why he said Lemmy developers, not instance developers.

[–] zikk_transport2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, developers.

Instance admins adding such tags would make it inconsistent and basically impossible to use. It should be unified = implemented by Lemmy developers.

P.S. Developers who develop Lemmy software. Admins who own and manage instance (website/server).

I think this is the only good thing Tildes has with tags, tags can work as sub-comunities inside a sublemmy.

This would be freaking awesome. Doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to add, but then again, I'm not a developer.
