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.

I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

Tbh, I kinda miss these links. Lemmy has a big discoverability issue, and part of that is that it's impossible to link to a post or comment in an instance-agnostic way.

Links to communities would at least help to find new communities to join.

Community links exist ([email protected]), but post/comment links that open thee same post correctly in your own instance don't exist.

And hardly anyonee uses community links at all.

Yeah, there's the "everything" feed, but it's just not the same as /r/all.

I like to browse "everything " sorted to new. I find new communities that way. And there isn't an underlying algorithm that curated your feed according to what your viewing history is.

That's why it's different from r/all, there is less manipulation.
