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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

It would be nice if every community had to pick a tag associated with it so that you can automatically filter out communities you have no interest in. E.g. Politics, news, memes, sports, tech, celebrities, TV/Movies, etc...
That's a great idea. I'd prefer this instead of instances that are mainly focused on specific topics
I'd filter out Mr [Trump] and similar ilk immediately.
Just block the community when you see a post you don't like. It will remove posts from that community from local and global feeds. If you want to see the posts from those communities you can still visit them directly.
This works until you realize there are (For a US citizen) 32 NFL teams and 113 College football teams. 32 Fifa Soccer teams. 29 US Mens soccer clubs (plus 3 Canadian). 12 More Women's Soccer teams -only one league. 10 Formula 1drivers/teams. 8 womens volleyball teams. 30 mens baseball teams (29US 1 Canada). 32 teams in the NHL. and lastly, 30 NBA teams. In total this is 331 "Teams"
Dunno about lemmy but for reddit there is a sub for every level. Team>Conference/division>major end-of-season tournament. Meaning the Baseball Game between the Orioles and Mariners is on no fewer than three subs. Each team, plus the MLB sub. 2 more if you follow Seattle or Baltimore city subs. and then at least 1 more if you're subbed to a speculation for rankings sub. 5 subs are all sharing ONE game.
Porn? Flip the NSFW filter and that's it. EZPZ
