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'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?).
