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

you're on lemmy.world which is now the biggest instance and therefore is getting hit the hardest with the reddit exodos. You can either wait it out for lemmy.world to scale their server, or you can try a smaller instance with less load on it. In any case you can still reach the same fediverse regardless which one you choose (with some exception as some instance are blocked or deferated, for example lemmygrad.ml is defederated from a lot of instances due their political POV).
