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

It's usually a bad sign if a new social media platform only talks about another one (see bluesky, every other post is about Twitter) but I gotta say, most of the content on here is actually not referencing reddit (ignoring this very post) which I think is a good sign that the community here is flourishing.

I know I get my shit posting and meme fix already through lemmy alone and a bunch of communities have migrated and are frequented enough that I don't feel the need to open reddit anymore (at least at this point).

Totally agree, and I edited my post! I think people will still be able to infer where the lemons came from ๐Ÿ˜Š
