You've just beamed aboard /c/StarTrek - Welcome!

While this community isn't brand new (it was created 7+ months ago), it hasn't been very active lately, so the ship's lone remaining captain (/u/Tenthrow) has graciously invited a handful of Lemmy's hardcore Trek fans to the bridge to help get this vessel ready for a long voyage.

We have a large mod team (6 of us currently), whose usernames many will recognize from being highly active in Trek circles across the fediverse. Our moderation philosophy is that having a large team of very active community members allows us to be more responsive, invested in the atmosphere, and equipped to tackle difficult judgment calls as a group. It isn't easy to moderate any forum in a way that makes everyone happy all of the time, but I believe we're having the right conversations to attempt to get as close to that goal as possible.

The icon/banner art has been updated, and the sidebar now has the community rules. The rules are all pretty standard stuff, although I do want to specifically point out that there's a rule about spoilers for those watching any of the currently running series.

Our hope is that this community can serve as a more structured space for Star Trek discussion (e.g. episode posts, news, books?, etc.) that may get lost or overlooked in a fast-moving casual community like /c/TenForward.

Looking forward to seeing how this place grows! LLAP
