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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Four syllables is too many.
community is the name of lemmy communities and I'm going to hard disagree with anyone who says otherwise because those people are just trying to find some cool new word similar to subreddit because they don't realise that lemmy is unique from reddit, it's not just a replacement for reddit
Orrrrr... maybe I just think it's too many syllables.
Don't kid yourself. Lemmy is 100% a Reddit clone. It was literally made as a replacement for Reddit.
You're just being rude at this point, lemmy is not a Clone of reddit
It is something that can replace reddit but your kidding yourself if you think it's a Clone
Your kind of behaviour is the stuff I'd would've hoped be left on reddit
Just stop woth the rudeness and trying to copy reddit
I don't mean the culture. Is that what you mean? I meant the software. The software itself is a clone of Reddit. It works nearly identically, except that it's a federation of servers.
That why I said it's a clone of reddit, and that why I replied how I did, because I thought it was silly that you would say otherwise.
As for the culture, I hope it never becomes reddit, but it seems like it's too late. It seems I have to block some new shitposting community every day.
But I mostly spend my time in niche communities of nice people talking about Zelda or cats, and not about whether Lemmy is a reddit clone or not because that's a really stupid conversation to have.
BTW, I think your reply was more rude than me saying "you kid yourself", but whatever. I didn't actually mean to hurt your feelings.
Forcing the name to be something like sublemmy or something similar is pretty annoying when the majority or the lemmy community has decided to call them communities which is easy to remember as it's one word and it has been called that on the lemmy interface and in its documentation
I myself migrated from reddit but I'm not trying to forcibly change lemmy's terminology to match a dying platform that's dying from a cancer called spez
I think you got the nail on the head! Let's call them spezes. Excellent idea!
