      Maybe the Lemmy founders should have called it MilliVanilli.

          That would actually be a funny show:

          Live Event, One Day Only, Man Vs God

          Get the announcers to hype the crowd up and talk about historic matches of the past, ask the crowd to cheer if God is the greatest arm wrestler of all time. Ask them to cheer if Manny Mann can beat God.

          15 minutes pass and the Referee calls it, Man wins by default as god didn’t show. Man defeated God.

    One of the only thing I miss about Reddit was their very active Guitar subs. So I Googled Lemmy Guitar to search for some active forums, and was disappointed that all I got were Lemmy Motorhead links.

    If anybody knows any active guitar forums on Lemmy, please let me know. The only ones I found are extremely quiet, with days, weeks, or even months between posts. I can’t be the only guitarist on Lemmy, so where are they all hanging out?

      That’s my experience trying to find any specific subject matter on lemmy, google tries to relate it to Motorhead.

          That doesn’t help with all the different Lemmy instances, but searching on a Lemmy instance does… Well, the search function is janky so it works kinda, but it searches a lot of Lemmy instances alright!

            It should work fine. Filtering by one instance will show all Lemmy content. You can use a script to ensure you always land back on your instance.

        I’ve had middling results using “Lemmy Fediverse” in search strings instead of just “Lemmy”. You still get a lot of Motorhead though.

        I’m planning on getting active on the guitar comms by posting stuff, but Ive been so busy lately. I have time to comment, but posting takes a lot more effort, but Ill be starting over the next week or so, and try to revive a few of these places.

        In the meantime, ithers should start posting as well.

    Sometimes, I think about the fact that if I post something really useful here, our traffic’s still so comparatively small that it probably won’t come up in a search engine query.

    But that’s the way I like it, baby - I don’t want to live forever.

      I was looking for a post on Lemmy yesterday with a vague couple of keywords, used Kagi with “Fediverse forums” lens and bam, right there at the top was the post I was looking for, from a year ago! I couldn’t believe it.

      It’s like how everyone used to search Reddit with site:reddit rather than using the reddit search. Except you can’t do that too easily for Lemmy because of all the instances. But the Kagi lens does a pretty impressive job of solving that.

    Before the whole reddit fiasco, many of my search results were directed to include reddit. I wish I could do the same with Lemmy but no one comments so it’s not worth it.

    I’m so conflicted right now.

      Plenty of people comment on Lemmy, but I think the main issue is that everything is split over multiple domains which seems to be ranked lower by search engines. I’ve recently been seeing Lemmy.world in Google search results, and even some from the “smaller” instances such as sh.itjust.works and db0.

      Searxng has a way to query threadiverse posts, perhaps that works better.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
