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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you sort by the default Active, which is self-reinforcing, yeah. Sorting by New or Top Day, not much is about reddit recently.
I highly recommend users setup their subscriptions, and set their default feed to subscription and new. This will get them engaging with conversations. Use the All feed to find new stuff to subscribe to. This is a fun experience.
And new is not bad at all (at least for me)
It is a better way to sort during normal hours, but unfortunately I work a weird shift (4a-12:30p EDT) and the "new" page doesn't seem to change much during my normal breaks and lunch times and activity doesn't really seem to pick up until around 6:00 p.m. local time, which isn't far off from when I need to be in bed. We need to get some Australians on this platform.
bad for you that i am a eurobean. but yes, i agree
