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

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

They already have a name, straight from the documentation: "communities". You can call something a "community" and everyone knows exactly what you mean. Call it something contrived like a "sublemmy" and you have to explain it every time.

A non-generic name would probably help with search results though, seeing as you have to type Lemmy communities for Google to understand that’s the kind of results you want.

I disagree, I feel the opposite. If I google, say, "x hometown community", I'm going to get literally everything about my home town. "x hometown sublemmy's(or whatever)" on the otherhand, would be fine tuned to show me lemmy communities about my hometown.
