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’m sorry that happened, but that’s just one community. That’s not enough of a sample size to say anything about Lemmy.

The only subs that are active are memes, politics and technology subs, everything else is desert

You should browse the All tab more.

I do, but i don't really find a lot more content that interest me in all. The subs that promote other subs are my main discovery method

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There are a lot of science communities, there are some local communities, sports communities, hobby communities. The ones I’m subscribed to seem pretty active to me.

I would say hidden more than desert, but I see what you mean, you have to look out for content more.

Oh please, we all realize this didn't take off as expected. Reddit has its grip

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is actually exactly what I expected and am pretty content with it.

Yeah too many people expected another Digg situation but that was completely unreasonable.
