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

That's my guess as well. And the post default sorting by "active" means the top posts usually have a lot more staying power compared to reddit.
Didn't see much here that made me roll my eyes and think:"That made me feel dumber for reading it.", whereas on reddit that's pretty much every big thread.
That staying power is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes you're looking for fresh content. Top Hour is marvelous. So is New Comments. :)
I think it encourages you to seek out other interesting communities when you want to see something different.
