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 is a perfect reddit replacement in terms of saving a post "for later" and never coming back to it (lemmy.cafe)

Idk if it's my lemmy client (eternity) or instance (lemmy.sdf.org) but it seems like "saved posts" doesn't work for me :/ so if I ever need to keep one, I open it in my browser and leave the tab open forever (because I will never come back to it).

Hey! Another SDF user in the wild, what’s up!

There's dozens of us ;)

I'm just glad federation is back after that scare!

I open it in my browser and leave the tab open forever (because I will never come back to it).

I do this too, to a degree, but have you tried bookmarking in your browser more? I have and it's been pretty nice for maintaining this habit without having a tab perpetually open (I write as I have like 10+ tabs perpetually open that I swear I'll get back to eventually).

Honestly, I exaggerated for humor. Eventually I do get all my tabs closed, either by reading them (or whatever), or sometimes they don't interest me anymore. My tabs are basically a queue (a stack actually!) of things to do

Those are rookie numbers. I have 10+ windows.

I use Eternity as well, but with the instance reddthat.com as such my saved posts work fine. Maybe try the web page for your instance to see if they work there?
