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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

If you're on one of the bigger instances (lemmy.world for example) use https://lemmyverse.net/ to pick a smaller, less crowded instanceto call home.

I created an account on reddthat.com earlier today, and it's way less laggy than lemmy.world (my initial instance).

Hopefully in time lemmy gains functionality thatmakis account backup/porting easy so moving instances in nbd.

Or even simpler, a feature that lets you aggregate history, posts, comments and subscriptions from multiple instances in a transparent way.

Sort of a meta-account / fedacount that tells all Lemmy instances that accounts a, b, c, and d are all the same user.

Doesn’t that kind of go against the idea of federation? I don’t know if it’s worth compromising on.

aggregating so many different cats community into one feed is a dream🤩🐱.

Right now i subscribe to 5 different technology@, but if i could create a custom community set according to my preferences then i could see all those 5 in one layout, without breadmaking and other contents breaking them up. the choice now is all posts from all communities or only one specific community.

I can completely understand that :)
Maybe an option to make your own collections of communities? A function on the client side where you can apply tags, or something like that?
