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

If past trends are to be believed, not only will every sport have its own community, but every team in said sport will have its own community
I don't want to have to systematically block 300-1000 different communities manually
This is the issue right here. Every enclave in Europe with 100 or more people seems to have at least 3 football clubs. I'm not hating on it, I just don't want it in my feed. It seems that interacting with sports content long enough to block it puts even more in my feed! Sheesh!
You only really need to block the popular ones. That's how I do it, had to add another two this week but it's not like I'm constantly finding new ones in my feed.
If you change your home feed to subscribed, then you don't have to block anything, you just have to not subscribe to those communities.
