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

Lemmy faces the same expectations problems as every free/libre software (feddit.de)

It's the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

I have seen wefwef cited a bit now, what is it? Forgive my ignorance, but I'm new to Lemmy and I'm still learning. It is not an app, is it a website? I have tried to connect to wefwef.net but with no success, so I'm a bit confused.

It's lemmy client. It's perfect in every way. Check it out at wefwef.app

Is it an app or only a website?

You can install it as an app. I don't know about iOS, but on Android go to wefwef.app, click the three dots in the top right, and click the install button, and it will appear to be just like any other app.

It’s very similar on IOS. Press the “share” icon and select “Add to Home Screen”.

Thanks! Now on WefWef!

It's a website that you can install as an app on your phone. That's called a "Progressive Web App" (PWA).

Workplace' WiFi was blocking it, now I managed to get it installed. Seems nice, thanks for the help!

I've installed it and quite like it on first feel. However for the love of god I can't find the subscribe button when clicking on a community, care to point it out what I'm (obviously) missing?

When you are on the community view, not inside a discussion: Top right ellipses (three dots) > Subscribe
