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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The lack of video support is understandable tbh in 2 ways.
That doesn't change the fact that this problem exists. Reddit's superior multimedia support makes it a more competitive social media platform.
I swear I could hand-write a set of ASCII art frames that you can turn into a low-res copy of Shrek by scrolling down really fast AND have it proof-read, by the time the Reddit video player successfully loads the play icon.
Well, you did (;
the best reddit was the one before you could post media inline. before the covered the fornt page in nonsense. when it was a link aggregator with threaded discussion, and nothing more.
i sure miss that reddit. whatever the fuck youre talkin about.. thats not reddit, thats Reddit©.
By this logic Instagram and TikTok are better than either, and yet the more any social media site becomes like those two, the more quickly I want to leave it.
Anok most likely means that the average Joe prefers convenience over freedom/privacy etc, and this is a convenience part that Lemmy seriously lacks in currently.
Thank you for saving my time.
Can't argue with that.
