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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I commented on reddit a lot but I do feel the need to be more involved here because I want to help build up the community. That said, I do want to be more careful about how I use my account. Avoid getting into discourse when I can, try not to argue with people as much.
I feel like I can be healthier on Lemmy if I go into it with a different mindset, and without Reddit's dogshit algorithm, it might make it easier.
Yeah even though I'm still just as uncomfortable making posts and will only do it if really needed, I have felt much more able to comment on Lemmy.
Hopefully my confidence will continue to improve with time
I made 2 posts on Reddit, one was a meme about my friend jumping over me to see my username, the other was some random text post. Thousands of comments though
It's just not in my nature... So much so that I'm trying to release a Lemmy app tonight, and I just remembered I haven't started on the ability to post...
Everything else came easy to me - you should be able to click on anything, everything should stay where you left it... But I have no idea how people want to post. I should probably just do it now before I overthink it
Same, created a account never posted on reddit. Here it fell more meaning full.
I used that powerdelete script last night and turns out I made one singular post on reddit in 9 years of use, when DDLC recently released:
