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

Yeah but these guys aren't trying to make a profit from us and Reddit had venture capital money.

Wooow haha. Happy to have this though, regardless of early hiccups. 10 years on Reddit has left a surprisingly sizable hole in my daily routine.

Yea I'm having a lot of issues like crashing, and it takes a minute to "send" my post. Is that normal? I'm using "connect for lemmy" on android.

What instance are you signed up for? Lemmy.world and a few of the other biggest servers are pretty overloaded from the reddit influx. Moving to a smaller instance would belp with load times, or give it a few days for your server admin to upgrade it.

Try lemm.ee instance. It is REALLY fast compared to lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works. And it is also general instance, not some theme-specific.

To be fair, lemm.ee has an entire order of magnitude less monthly users than world. I think it's at the perfect size, actually.

Wait i have only been using lemm.ee, are you saying ive been lemming with 1 nut sack stapled to my leg?
