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 did notice that I actually click and read articles more here, vs on reddit where I just read the comments.

As others have said, the comments definitely feel more substantial / thought out here than they tend to on Reddit.

Less shitposting and people regurgitating memes for sure, but it’s been easier to actually ask a question and get an answer here.

On Reddit you end up having to filter through a bunch more BS when you’re just looking for information a lot of the time.

I see a fairly healthy comment activity, but I'm also fine with like 65 comments, after that I get bored

This is just comment baiting
