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

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique

The issue with large scale marketing is that it can be rather expensive.
Anyone can learn to code and contribute to Lemmy's codebase, just like anyone can learn marketing. The difference is that it's not so easy to, say, buy ad-space, get deals with content creators, etc.
Lemmy's design, however, can be done by web designers, and it is done by web designers/designers, in part at least. For example, Lemmy.world's icon was made by a regular user. That's part of marketing I think (?).
