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

I'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button (lemmy.world)

Is Lemmy just not showing me sports content? I don't like sports at all and this would bother me if it was constant, but I only see the occasional sports post.

It was pretty bad for me until I got most of them filtered. There's a com for every single team, every single league, and more.

Not quite as prolific as, say, Linux or porn. But there's a lot of them.

Weird. I totally am not seeing them.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’m not seeing them either and I love sports

Same. If there is a com for every team, why can't I find the ones for my teams? I get that that my teams probably have few subscribers so they're not ever likely to show up on ALL. But even when I actively look for em, I can't find em. I'm still new to this platform so I have much to learn.

What are your teams?

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Which sports in particular are you looking for? Most of the popular sports and teams have fledgling communities

[–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I think some get ahead of themselves, lemmy isn't big enough enough to support the splintering.

Same — I don’t recall a single sports-related post — not even a meme. Maybe my instance already defederated from all the home servers of these communities (I think that’s how it works?).
