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
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

As much as I hate to say it, the "migration" wasn't as large as some people would have thoughts it's going to be. Hoomans. Stoopid hoomans.
All the subreddits I followed have not had the migration to Lenny, as the equivalent here is pretty much a desert. Only 1 or 2 people are actively posting every day to keep it active
Its going to take time to rebuild, especially the smaller niche communities. 1-2 regular posters at least ensures there is content to slowly accrue more subscribers. The best thing you can do if you have deserted small subs is starting to post yourself. Doesn't matter if you think the content is of poor quality, just the fact that someone is posting makes it more likely that others will, too. Like the first guy starting to dance to the music at a party.
As a DJ, I really like that analogy. Dancing by yourself is a worthy endeavor by itself, folks. Put yourself in that place in life.
