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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Definitely a better vibe than reddit, and I really hope it stays this way! The community seems to be a lot more willing to have discussions, and comments don't just devolve into the same lame jokes that get repeated over and over.
I was on reddit about 12 years. Had zero problems. Last year and a half or so started getting banned from communities. It accelerated. Got banned from communities I’d never heard of or visited.
One day I got the old heave-ho from reddit itself, and that was that.
Let's hope (and put the work in) it stays this way. :)
