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.

Lemmy communities need a distinct one word name for communities like how reddit has "subreddits" (reddthat.com)

Part of the latest migration wave. Something I realized when looking for communities on google is that "lemmy community" is super clumsy.

The problem lies in the federative aspect of it.

Calling the communities "sublemmies" for example, would mean that people on kbin have to call it like that too. And afaik they are called in a general way for the fediverse, just like how mastodon changed toot to post.

Does this make the platforms less unique? Yes, absolutely, but I don't think there is a fix for it.

Kbin already calls theirs "magazines", so no need to worry about consistency there.
