Is there a place I can go on lemmy where I can say “is there a community/magazine that has people’s weird ideas they thought of in the shower” and if anyone knows of a place they’ll point you to it?

There’s a pinned post in 411 with more
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmy411@lemmy.ca, !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
https://lemmyverse.net/ seems better than a community for this tee bee aych
That’s useful too, but sometimes it’s hard to find them by keyword. Plus if the answer to a post is ‘there is no community’ and the post gets popular, it can be a nice way to kickstart the creation of a new community.
https://www.search-lemmy.com/ ?
I’m open to feedback though if the search results seem out of order etc…
Oh hey, this is great! Nice work, it found some pretty obscure communities in a few tests. I wish there was a megathread somewhere for Lemmy/fediverse tools like this.
wow, ask and I shall receive! thanks!
Same. Honestly I need to create a community just for this tool IMO. But I don’t have the time to moderate it.
If you’re coming over from reddit, try https://sub.rehab/
It lists most of the popular subs and their fediverse equivalents. E.g. the community you’re looking for sounds like Reddit’s r/showerthoughts, which has
https://kbin.social/m/showerthoughts
https://lemmy.world/c/showerthoughts
https://squabbles.io/s/showerthoughts
communities in the fediverse.
Even if you haven’t used reddit, a lot of the sub names are pretty self-explanatory apart from some of the cryptic/memey named ones.

Thank you for the tip! I see you linked to squabbles. Does squabbles require a separate register/login? I can’t seem to figure out how to subscribe to it using my lemmy account.
As far as I can tell I think it does require a separate login. I’m still relatively new to the fediverse and had a friend recommend squabbles, but I’ve already made an account here so have been trying to figure this out too tbh. Hopefully someone can correct me if it is possible.
You may want to put an exclamation point (!) in front of that community name, to make it clickable. Thanks for pointing it out.
I tried doing that but it doesn’t seem to make it clickable lol so I took it off thinking I did it wrong
