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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I keep seeing people refer to a “front page” which isn’t really a thing that exists since it’s completely different depending on which instance you’re on, which feed you’re looking at and how you sort it, but I have no idea what that was on Reddit either since I always stuck to my subscriptions.

"front page" is just your "subscribed" feed here.

The other difference here is that we don't have an "/r/all" (meaning everything on reddit), there is the "local" feed, that would be, "all" communities of the specific instance.

And there is an "All" feed, but it isn't all the communities on every instance, there you only see all the communities any user of your instance is subscribed to.

Yeah I understand how the feeds work but I keep seeing people reference seeing things on "the front page of lemmy.world" or challenging themselves to "make it to the Lemmy front page" and I'm just like...this makes no sense! 😄
