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 started blocking like a madman and my experience improved considerably

Same - my blocklist is gigantic now, but by combining that with subscriptions means that I can always choose between a very tightly curated list of stuff that interests me and nothing else (browsing subscribed) and a much bigger list of more random stuff that lets me discover new things but still doesn't have sports, cars, porn and other things in actively disinterested in (browsing all). I like this system a lot.

I just do what I did with reddit and only browse all whenever I get REALLY bored.

On the basic mobile website, you go to the sub... community you want to block or even just the comments for a post, expand the side bar button at the top, then hit Block Community.

For example, on this post, I go into these comments, hit Sidebar at the top of the comments, then block community.
