Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

You can definitely feel it.

Scotty, divert power to stabilizers.

Are you watching Strange New Worlds?

As a diehard Trekkie since 1987, I can say it’s already one of my top 3 shows

[-] _finger_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

A. They have a live orchestra performing quite a bit of the score, like old Trek. Makes a difference

B. They’re having fun

C. The characters work

D. Pike is sexy af

It’s a great Trek show.

Pike is just “ok”. His hair, on the other hand…

[-] zav@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Hard agree, first true trek we got after 2000

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Lower Decks and Prodigy aren't standard Trek but they're both fantastic, too.

Not OP but you just convinced me to give Strange New Worlds a try, so thanks!

[-] AzuleBlade@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Same, it's downloading now haha.

[-] nineninenine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What do you think so far? I've been loving Strange New Worlds!

[-] AzuleBlade@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't had a chance to watch any episodes yet, but it looks pretty interesting. The kids like to hog the TVs on summer break haha.

[-] snowyday@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hooray! Let me know what you think

[-] nineninenine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Came back to this thread to say I LOVE Strange New Worlds so far! I liked Picard well enough, but just couldn't get into Discovery after a couple tries, though I can't articulate why (???). SNW seems to hit just right.
