/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Holy shit removing those top two in particular is absolutely inexcusable. They are constructive. They're quite detailed and respectful in their criticism.
We've got this community, but someone needs to make a generic Star Trek and a Daystrom community outside of that instance now.
Be the change you see in the world!
Edit: !startrek@lemmy.world exists as a sister community to this one, btw!
Literally can't. My instance doesn't allow user-created communities, and it would not make sense as the host instance of a Trek community anyway.
Neat!
But looks dead. Hopefully people will start using it now?
Fair enough. I have wanted to create a new DaystromInstitute, but I’m already the mod of a Plex community that I let go to hell 7 months ago because of an ongoing life event, and I’m certainly in no position to start another community, let alone mod it. (I have modded a few Reddit communities over the years, and it’s a lot of work, often not fun).
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The other community doesn’t get much traffic because everyone just comes here, even though traffic should really be split between the two, and this should mostly be a meme/shitposting community.
The Star Trek community isn't very busy yet, but we are trying to make it more so.
As far as Daystrom, Lemmy doesn't have enough totally hardcore fans to make it work. You need people who are not only willing to pick apart Star Trek down to the creative atoms, but also to find absolutely impossible explanations for ridiculous plot points.
Daystrom is definitely not a place for me anyway, but I just don't see it being a Lemmy thing at this point.
Ok I don't know why, but I swear when I clicked that link earlier it was showing me the most recent posts were 8 months ago. It's fixed itself now, and looks pretty good!
