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

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.
