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

If we call reddit users redditors, what do we call lemmy users (lemmy.world)

A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit

The singular of that would be Lemmy, which would get confusing quickly. I think Lemmies should be what we call instances instead of what we call users.

You could always shorten the singular to ‘Lemmi’ or something similar to prevent confusion.

Good point though!
