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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

That's why my main point still stands. You know where someone stands the way they say it. I could greet you or disrespect you, all depends in my tone.
Bro, great posting! ๐๐๐๐๐ @sxan@midwest.social
They need a "follow accounts" button here. Like if a reporter used !worldnews@lemmy.ml you could just follow the reporter.
Thank you!
And: dude! I have totally thought the same thing! It's so weird that Mastodon has follow-accounts, but no communities; Lemmy has join-communities but no follow-accounts; and they're both ActivityPub. You'd think that would be a no-brainer feature, right?
Maybe someone will cook it up. Wish I had the know how to do it.
Yeah, it'd have to be a Lemmy design change, and then all of the many clients would have to implement it... momentum is a powerful force in the software world, and difficult and dangerous to overcome. Look at the fiasco of Python 3; that was a cock-up of epic proportions. Lemmy's got enough users and clients now that changes have to be made extremely carefully.
