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

MODERATORS
And have a good feeling not reading all of them.
I see a fairly healthy comment activity, but I'm also fine with like 65 comments, after that I get bored
I did notice that I actually click and read articles more here, vs on reddit where I just read the comments.
ive found a similar problem. i actually started reading the microblog/twits section of the verse when the bots are done doin their thing.. lemmy is missing half the 'verse.
As others have said, the comments definitely feel more substantial / thought out here than they tend to on Reddit.
Less shitposting and people regurgitating memes for sure, but it’s been easier to actually ask a question and get an answer here.
On Reddit you end up having to filter through a bunch more BS when you’re just looking for information a lot of the time.
