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

Gotta catch ‘em all.
I just wish I could merge 2 different communities and have dupes handled.
I don't think there are technically dupes. You could have multiple communities across different instances all called "gaming". But that wouldn't mean they all share the same rules and posting formats, etc.
They'd basically be like different subreddits. So you could potentially create a multireddit, but not truly merging "duplicate" communities.
Yeah multicommunities please! Also when you sub to a community a smol popup appears that asks if you'd like to sub to these other communities with the same name. Of course disable in settings.
Yeah, but it would be nice if there was a way to consolidate when a single person posts the same article in every iteration of gaming across the platform.
Ohhh, yeah, that is a sort of unique issue. Even then each one would have different vote and boost counts as well as unique comments sections. I think with a clever enough UI you could still work it out, though.

Community links exist ([email protected]), but post/comment links that open thee same post correctly in your own instance don't exist.
And hardly anyonee uses community links at all.
