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

About half of the stuff on Lemmy is just ‘what i hate about Reddit’

If you sort by the default Active, which is self-reinforcing, yeah. Sorting by New or Top Day, not much is about reddit recently.

I highly recommend users setup their subscriptions, and set their default feed to subscription and new. This will get them engaging with conversations. Use the All feed to find new stuff to subscribe to. This is a fun experience.

And new is not bad at all (at least for me)

It is a better way to sort during normal hours, but unfortunately I work a weird shift (4a-12:30p EDT) and the "new" page doesn't seem to change much during my normal breaks and lunch times and activity doesn't really seem to pick up until around 6:00 p.m. local time, which isn't far off from when I need to be in bed. We need to get some Australians on this platform.

That's my Subscriptions feed, sorted by hot. This is the only post that's about that orangered site.


PS: Oh, if you're wondering, yeah, that's from Lemm.ee I am using my lemmy.world account right now to make this comment though.

I really hope so. I’m tired of reading about reddit.

Try sorting by new and look for some communities like illegallysmolbirbs or illegallysmolcats so your subscribed tab is more interesting

yeah me too, it feels like we're all still collectively whining about our ex.
