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.
If you're on one of the bigger instances (lemmy.world for example) use https://lemmyverse.net/ to pick a smaller, less crowded instanceto call home.
I created an account on reddthat.com earlier today, and it's way less laggy than lemmy.world (my initial instance).
Hopefully in time lemmy gains functionality thatmakis account backup/porting easy so moving instances in nbd.
Lemmy at least needs a feature like Mastodon to allow you to migrate your accounts to another instance.
Or even simpler, a feature that lets you aggregate history, posts, comments and subscriptions from multiple instances in a transparent way.
Sort of a meta-account / fedacount that tells all Lemmy instances that accounts a, b, c, and d are all the same user.
That depends on the instance you’re on.
The best part of this post, is the segue into the new !showerthoughts community
Try lemm.ee instance. It is REALLY fast compared to lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works. And it is also general instance, not some theme-specific.
To be fair, lemm.ee has an entire order of magnitude less monthly users than world. I think it's at the perfect size, actually.
Gotta start somewhere...
Yeah but these guys aren't trying to make a profit from us and Reddit had venture capital money.
Yeah, this is taking me back to 2013 reddit. Really enjoying it here. I'm hoping it continues to walk down this path.
It's just lemmy.world, because majority of people jumped on it.

Use different instances to get better experience (you can still subscribe to communities that aren't on your server)

Well, if its too slow, you can just self-host it.
I have to check this... As that would the best way to have control of the account without risking that the instance were I am suddenly dissapears although I guess I need to setup cloudfare or something on my domain to avoid direct attacks to my dedicated server I guess as the instance where I am would be public to other users.
That and some domain provider with privacy protection which most have nowadays so my name and address isn't public directly on my domain info.
I would just wish there would be a new Reddit view as well. It is just so annoying having to click on the images to zoom in
Yeah, every time I try to upvote something, it'll take like 10-15 seconds to register
All the old Redditors jumped ship. Let's hope the new redditors and spam bots don't jump ship with them.
Unfortunately, if there's any hope of lemmy really taking off, they'll come eventually. All popular sites and services have to deal with it at some point.
