Showerthoughts

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Communities has too many sillaby, may be comm or comi is better..
I actually like kbin term, they use term Magazine for community. It can easily shortened as Magz.

I don't agree with you, community is more memorable and we don't have to be reddit

I'm going to nip the bud early for any attempt calling it something other than community because lemmy is not reddit so people need to stop trying to make it like reddit with the terminology

Comi and magz sound really awful and I can see that you're basing it of the reddit term "subreddit"

Don't try and force redditness (if that even is a word) on lemmy because lemmy is unique in its own way, no one should force it to be like reddit
