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

As long as there are no well-known apps on any app store, there are going to be less kids, since they probably don't want to go through GitHub. I find most of them are somewhat afraid of downloading apks from websites they might not use often.

I forget that most "kids" (Idk 20 and down maybe a few years older) only know the internet and technology via Facebook and android/iPhone respectively.

I scroll on my phone PLENTY, I'm not judging, but I can't imagine not having a desktop or laptop at least.

I’m using TestFlight and it’s incredibly simple. A kid could definitely get the apps on ios. But I think kids just have no reason to care about this stuff. They just want a website where their friends are.

I just use the websites for every social media app, including lemmy. Seems better than apps to me.
