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.

If Lemmy code is written by people who love to code, Lemmy marketing can be made by people who love to market (lemmy.one)

The issue with large scale marketing is that it can be rather expensive.

Anyone can learn to code and contribute to Lemmy's codebase, just like anyone can learn marketing. The difference is that it's not so easy to, say, buy ad-space, get deals with content creators, etc.

Lemmy's design, however, can be done by web designers, and it is done by web designers/designers, in part at least. For example, Lemmy.world's icon was made by a regular user. That's part of marketing I think (?).
