This is actually something i also noticed when i switched to lemmy from reddit. In reddit its all star wars and here its all star trek. I lean more in the star trek direction so im happy here

It's only logical.

You do understand the entire structure of this Network is based on Star Trek, right?

Because that community decided to leave and start a place here when things blew up. Other communities didn't. They're active, so people hang out there. There's a fairly low barrier to entry for new folks to participate (a lot of people have watched some Star Trek).

Really, having an active community say, we're leaving and setting up shop here goes a long way. I wish my niche subreddit had done so as well.

Lemmy was built by and for people who like Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism morality plays.

I haven’t seen a single Star Trek movie and yet I find it more entertaining and hilariously funny at times.

I also prefer it to the incessant cringy cheesy Star Wars memes I would see elsewhere.

question 2: how to join

I’d been hearing talk of Lemmy as a potential Reddit alternative around the third party app debacle, but nobody seemed to be taking it terribly seriously until I saw the Star Trek subreddits open startrek.website for themselves.

That got me interested. It was the first instance I can remember of one of the bigger communities I followed just up and moving like that, and it made the whole thing feel more real.

What do you mean "no other scifi series"? Muad'Dib Muad'Dib Muad'Dib
