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

Underrated benefit of lemmy is like minded people will tend to join the same instances and if I don't want to interact with those groups I can just filter the whole instance. (lemm.ee)

A lot less annoying then endlessly filtering content by community and user

You don't have to use filters, just like you don't have to subscribe to subreddits on Reddit. You can just use the default front page if you are afraid of tailoring it to your tastes.

Yep. I just raw dog All for the past 6 hours most of the time. The only communities I've blocked are the most active German ones because I don't speak German.

This is the way. Although I also block e.g. sports and hexbear - I already know that I don't want any of that.
