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

Damn, missed my chance to have it be a date I'd remember for a change.

I am genuinely excited to see how many people stick around post June 30th. If this place stays as vibrant as it has then this is my new home for sure.

When all this API shit started kicking off I didn't really like the look of lemmy, but now it looks like the best. KBin was fun for a bit but felt kind of chaotic, plus not having posts vanish after upvoting/viewing the comments was a death sentene for me. The other alternatives are just shit IMO.

Plus looks like a lot of app devs are lemmyheads, Memmy has been great after installing it today. There's no way i'm using the reddit app post June so yea...Lemmy all the way, cause everything else blows for content consumption.

You can try Liftoff! as well !liftoff@lemmy.world. I've been enjoying it :)

Same. I have Kbin, Tildes, Lemmy and a few others just to poke around, but I find I spend the most time here. I even went and found a script that makes Lemmy look a bit like Reddit and I am perfectly happy.

Same on making posts hide after viewing. At first I didn't know how to make it happen, but I found it in settings.

You’re of course referring to the PC website and not the scroll marking on the mobile app right? 😁

[–] blueskiesoc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. I use PC and I have tried Jerboa for mobile, but I'm liking Summit right now. Which app do you use and do you like it?

[–] simo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Memmy for iOS, the others feature text line breaks on my iPhone SE and/or don't vanish posts that I have upvoted upon refresh. Yuck :)
