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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Reddit wasn't tailored to the user, the user tailored it to themselves (unless they were fool enough to use the official app).
It really is just that there's less content here, and the content there is isn't sorted particularly well via Hot. It's a WIP
How the Best and Hot algorithms work on Reddit is completely up to Reddit. They 100% tailor it to the user.
In the past months, I was getting so many "you will probably like..."
No, I don't. Reddit, you're showing me irrelevant subs which prevent me from browsing the feed I curated.
It was so annoying...
What does 3PA mean?
i never saw the "you'll probably like..." messages; but i saw them in others' screenshots and it made me wonder why reddit's algorithm(s) didn't show it to me; i suspect it was because 99% of my subs were porn adjacent and they didn't want to advertise that.
