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

Finding a hard time finding an active soccer community. The largest one only has a comment or two per post.

I'm looking forward it growing though. r/soccer 2010-2014 was my favourite internet community ever.

Yeah but if you comment then the commenting instantly goes up 33-50%!

c/football is the major one for now but will grow over time as more features are available or widely known.

Afaik saying c/football is meaningless because there can be a c/football on every instance.

I’m seeing one on Lemmy.world and one on Lemmy.ml when I do a federated search. One has 2000+ members and the other 10. Thought that would be self explanatory, my bad.

No problem!

On lemmy though the correct way to link communities is !football@lemmy.world

!football@lemmy.world would probably be better, just FYI.

[–] Limes@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mentioned that one. That’s the one with +2000 ppl.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I meant the way to link communities, c/community-name isn't the best.

I've been disappointed at how inactive the Rust communities I've seen are. r/rust was the main reason I visited Reddit.

[–] turquoise@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you seen !rust@programming.dev?

Not a Rust dev but it looks pretty active to me.

Ahh but theres now 3 i have to browse

[–] HeavyRust@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

That's what I'm doing for now 😅

Maybe in the future one of them will become the official one. Or there will be an official version and community version.
