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

I’ve actually felt like contributing here. It’s been 11 years on reddit for me and I made 5 posts and a handful of comments in that time.
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
