I’m just glad that in Lemmy you can join the conversation a few hours after submission and still have your message seen by someone.

I hadn’t thought about that but you’re totally right.

It’s like being at a small dinner party vs. Burning Man :)

I got a reply over a day after my initial response on a thread asking if I remembered to change a Firefox setting. And my reply to that even is still getting a bit of upvotes on it.

It's because the hot comment sorting algorithm is different from Reddit's. It favours fresh discussions over older threads even if they have more upvotes.

Lemmy's comment ranking goal was to do exactly that: don't punish new comments on an old thread.

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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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
