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. 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

Why not ducks? Because I'm a duck and I find your post racist since it does not have mention of ducks, the excluded minority of society. OH, how we suffer so much! .... did I said we suffer a lot?

Neither of these extremes fit. Huh

I think the best communities on the internet I've been a part of have a very low rate of lurkers and mostly all users are active. Although, those were usually smaller communities.

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html I guess that it provides some metric of how relevant a community is and I presume in the future it could be tied into ranking of ratings of posts and comments
