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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

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.
