Riding the bus down the boulevard, and the place was pretty packed!
Couldn't get a seat so I had to stand, with the perverts in the back!
It was smelling like a locker room, there was junk all over the floor!
We're already packed in like sardines, and we're stopping to pick up more!

I wish people would be at least a little more normal. It's a bit weird when you join Lemmy and the front page is full of furries, femcels and other niches you never heard of.

But I get it. There aren't many other places left for unusual people. So I guess you better get used to it.

Unlike Reddit, Lemmy makes no attempt to spoon feed and algorithmically tailor to what it believes will garner the largest audience.

You have to do a little curating here. Block users, communities, and even whole servers that you're not interested in and suddenly the whole experience changes.

I very very rarely block users or servers because I don't want to put myself into an echo chamber, but I have a long list of communities blocked because I have no interest in them whatsoever. There could be anime girls posted every 10 seconds with thousands of upvotes for all I know, but I've blocked them because I don't care. They can continue having fun in their community, I can be blissfully unaware of it. Win win.

Make the threadiverse your own and it's far more enjoyable than everything all at once.

MrShankles 8 points 12 days ago

I feel there's more unusual people than nahh, but nobody talks about (due to risk of presenting as abnormal). But if you can set aside the fear of being ostracized... everyone is pretty strange in their own ways. Show me a "normal" person, and I'll show you someone who's still learning. Appreciate you as you are though, we're all out here learning <3

I've met plenty of normos! The people who will give you a blank stare, if you tell them stuff like lobsters don't need to be boiled alive, you have to just kill them right before boiling, which is pretty easy since you need to just do a sharp cut on the right place on their head

Thank you as well MrShankles! I left reddit for lemmy. I think my next move will be a daily walk to the coffee shop and see if I can meet some like-minded folks in real-time. It's been too long and the human touch is sometimes needed to re-center yourself. My fear is that everyone out there are assholes or, worse yet, I'm the asshole.

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:

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.
