    How did the showerthoughts tag result in the lemmy.world instance getting the post? Did all showerthouts communities get it, or is there only 1 community by that name?

      On Mastodon, Lemmy communities show up similarly to how a regular Mastodon user does, and can be searched and tagged similarly. So in this case, OP tagged this community specifically rather than any others with the same name.

      I believe if you try and tag multiple it only posts to the first community mentioned in your toot, but don’t quote me on that one!
