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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges" (programming.dev)

In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being "harder"* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies' services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

  • "harder" because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

Hey, the speed issue is solely because the instance you're on, Lemmy.world, is way overcrowded. You can resolve this issue by joining a smaller instance or even hosting your own. The best part of Lemmy is you aren't tied to any one server. You can create an account on a different instance/site and never miss a Lemmy post. I'm on my own private instance and have zero issues with loading speed

How do I transfer my subscriptions to another server, though? Do you really just have to re-sub to everything all over again?

Because I have so many subs now…
