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 feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy (lemmy.world)

Maybe it's just because there's less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day.

Could this be an example of the affects of addictive social media?

I always browsed r/all, I subbed to a bunch but only went to them occasionally. I'm in it for the mindless scrolling in downtime and news.

I miss always having new content. I was almost 100% reddit anyway and now it's 100% Lemmy just with less content so inherently I spend less time.

I know technically I could be a contributor to content but it's just not me. I think I had ten total reddit comments the whole 14 years I was using it. It's not my thing.
