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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If Lemmy code is written by people who love to code, Lemmy marketing can be made by people who love to market (lemmy.one)

This! I've been working on a new web UI for exactly this reason. We don't need Lemmy to appeal to everyone, but making it less intimidating and more welcoming does go a long way towards diversifying the communities within Lemmy.

That said, I do appreciate all the volunteers who made Lemmy what it is today. UI/UX is a skillset onto itself, and I don't want to look a gift horse in its mouth.
