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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

I still can’t figure out why I can upvote posts in Memmy but not in Liftoff. I’m Liftoff it keeps responding that I need to be logged into the server but Memmy just lets me upvote. It’s definitely something I am doing wrong but showcases the immense value of app choice.

Probably due to the version of Lemmy on the server. I think it's because Memmy works with 0.17 but Liftoff doesn't (fully).

The Lemmy devs made some fundamental changes in how just about everything works in 0.18. Since a lot of apps started development right around 0.18 came out they might not support "the new way" just yet.

It's another one of those things where you just have to "give it time". The Lemmy server operators need to upgrade (many were holding off because of missing CAPTCHA support in 0.18) and the app developers still have a lot of kinks to work out. Liftoff has only been out for what? A week now? LOL

I made a post on the Liftoff community precisely because it renders it unusable if I cannot interact with (almost) anything that's shown to me

Odd, I haven't had this issue at all. Upvoting works just fine for me in Liftoff.
