Showerthoughts

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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Lemmy is a perfect reddit replacement in terms of saving a post "for later" and never coming back to it (lemmy.cafe)

Idk if it's my lemmy client (eternity) or instance (lemmy.sdf.org) but it seems like "saved posts" doesn't work for me :/ so if I ever need to keep one, I open it in my browser and leave the tab open forever (because I will never come back to it).

Hey! Another SDF user in the wild, what’s up!

There's dozens of us ;)

I'm just glad federation is back after that scare!

I open it in my browser and leave the tab open forever (because I will never come back to it).

I do this too, to a degree, but have you tried bookmarking in your browser more? I have and it's been pretty nice for maintaining this habit without having a tab perpetually open (I write as I have like 10+ tabs perpetually open that I swear I'll get back to eventually).

Honestly, I exaggerated for humor. Eventually I do get all my tabs closed, either by reading them (or whatever), or sometimes they don't interest me anymore. My tabs are basically a queue (a stack actually!) of things to do

Those are rookie numbers. I have 10+ windows.

I use Eternity as well, but with the instance reddthat.com as such my saved posts work fine. Maybe try the web page for your instance to see if they work there?
