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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

If you're on one of the bigger instances (lemmy.world for example) use https://lemmyverse.net/ to pick a smaller, less crowded instanceto call home.
I created an account on reddthat.com earlier today, and it's way less laggy than lemmy.world (my initial instance).
Hopefully in time lemmy gains functionality thatmakis account backup/porting easy so moving instances in nbd.
Or even simpler, a feature that lets you aggregate history, posts, comments and subscriptions from multiple instances in a transparent way.
Sort of a meta-account / fedacount that tells all Lemmy instances that accounts a, b, c, and d are all the same user.
Doesn’t that kind of go against the idea of federation? I don’t know if it’s worth compromising on.
aggregating so many different cats community into one feed is a dream🤩🐱.
Right now i subscribe to 5 different technology@, but if i could create a custom community set according to my preferences then i could see all those 5 in one layout, without breadmaking and other contents breaking them up. the choice now is all posts from all communities or only one specific community.
I can completely understand that :)
Maybe an option to make your own collections of communities? A function on the client side where you can apply tags, or something like that?
Lemmy at least needs a feature like Mastodon to allow you to migrate your accounts to another instance.
So to move instances you have to create a new account there, right?
Yes -- I've got copies of my username on several different instances
