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

Tbh, I kinda miss these links. Lemmy has a big discoverability issue, and part of that is that it's impossible to link to a post or comment in an instance-agnostic way.
Links to communities would at least help to find new communities to join.
links exist. I just don't know how to use them lol

Gotta catch ‘em all.
I just wish I could merge 2 different communities and have dupes handled.
I don't think there are technically dupes. You could have multiple communities across different instances all called "gaming". But that wouldn't mean they all share the same rules and posting formats, etc.
They'd basically be like different subreddits. So you could potentially create a multireddit, but not truly merging "duplicate" communities.
Yeah multicommunities please! Also when you sub to a community a smol popup appears that asks if you'd like to sub to these other communities with the same name. Of course disable in settings.
Yeah, but it would be nice if there was a way to consolidate when a single person posts the same article in every iteration of gaming across the platform.
Ohhh, yeah, that is a sort of unique issue. Even then each one would have different vote and boost counts as well as unique comments sections. I think with a clever enough UI you could still work it out, though.

Community links exist (!communityname@instance.org), but post/comment links that open thee same post correctly in your own instance don't exist.
And hardly anyonee uses community links at all.
