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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

As much as I hate to say it, the "migration" wasn't as large as some people would have thoughts it's going to be. Hoomans. Stoopid hoomans.
I'm not sure about raw numbers but Lemmy feels like home now and Reddit's content is significantly worse so it's still a win for me
I didn’t look back after moving here. The only thing where Reddit still excels is its old content that you bump into when searching stuff on Google and the presence of official corporate accounts/ subreddits.
speaking of searching stuff, how does lemmy work in that space?
Like would I ever find this comment if I search it on Google?
"Alibaba DQC Matrix Peanut Butter"
I tried searching for Kbin Enhancement Suite posts on Kbin via Google... Guess what? All the results came back for RES for Reddit! On Reddit.
There is a search engine being developed specifically for Lemmy for just this kind of thing: search-lemmy.com
Zero results so far. Will be interesting to see how long it takes to index. EDIT: 24 hour later indexed (see my other comment)
not bad
this is on Google? then I guess Google Indexes fediverse?
Yep. And 24 hour index time (perhaps even faster) isn't half bad.
Makes sense, websites and internet and such.
I believe there's people already working on that, but no idea how they're doing these days
