Didn't actually realise that the #StarTrek subreddits of /r/StarTrek & /r/DaystromInstitute had a #Lemmy community @ https://lemmy.world/c/startrek@startrek.website @startrek.

Given Trek fandom are often the first colonizers of online spaces in internet history (eg newsgroups) losing major Star Trek communities is big L for Reddit.

EDIT: Not permamently locked subreddits, got that wrong I think!

Don’t forget /c/Risa! We’re here too! And we have Jamaharon!

@Lamhfada @startrek FYI, tagging a Lemmy community from Mastodon also turns the toot into a post in that community - something to keep in mind!

And yes, the Lemmy instance is run by current and former mods of those subreddits.

[-] freamon@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

From what I can tell, those subreddits participated in the blackout, but neither are "permanently locked".

Interesting to see though that r/startrek's header says "now at startrek.site"

[-] kargarocP4@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

I don't want to go to reddit, but does it really say startrek.site? That's not a real domain.

[-] psneeze@mastodon.ie 4 points 1 year ago

@Lamhfada @startrek So you're saying Trek fandom go where no one has gone before? Boldly or otherwise?

[-] Lamhfada@mastodon.ie 3 points 1 year ago

@psneeze @startrek

Me, holding on to my twitter account even as that site is actively being destroyed by the world's biggest Capitalist loser and I start to explore #Mastodon and #Lemmy

[-] Lamhfada@mastodon.ie 3 points 1 year ago

@startrek Now I just have to figure out how Lemmy groups work from the point of view of using Mastodon.

[-] julianh@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

By @ ing the community in your original post you made a post in the Lemmy community - hello from Lemmy!

[-] Lamhfada@mastodon.ie 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

@julianh oops! Don't want to spam or overwhelm is there a link I can see/delete that from do you know?

[-] julianh@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Lol I'm sure it's fine, it's just one post. Idk if there's a way to remove it from Lemmy, maybe editing the post to remove the @ but that's just a guess.

@Lamhfada @startrek

I don’t recommend it. Ends up flooding your feed with content from the Lemmy community. Plus you aren’t able to make new posts or upvote/downvote

Making a dedicated Lemmy account will give you a far better experience

[-] Lamhfada@mastodon.ie 2 points 1 year ago

@actsukrit Interesting, thanks! will see how it goes, I work a lot of shift work when my regular feed of mostly people in Ireland are not active so having a fuller feed isn't necessarily bad.

Have made a Lemmy a/c with the same usernname and my subscription is pending to @startrek so either way will get some content hopefully.

[-] FreezePeach@twit.social 1 points 1 year ago

@Lamhfada @actsukrit @startrek it’s not true that you can’t start a new thread/post from mastodon.

Here’s an example of someone who just started a lemmy post by tooting on mastodon: https://startrek.website/post/230420

[-] maegul@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Oh ... I should have replied here ... I wrote a demo on mastodon of doing so.

I posted a link etc elsewhere in this thread here: https://lemmy.ml/comment/1107157

[-] Tired8281@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Can't wait till they bring up a ShittyDaystrom. I've got a post brewing about how the Federation wouldn't exist without disgusting Ferengi sex programs. It's way too long and snooty for Risa, and far too ridiculous for the actual Daystrom. :(

[-] Tired8281@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Gotta ask. I have this same account name on lemmy.world and on startrek.website. Will that be a problem? I've just been logging into both, the startrek.website posts seem to take a long time to get to lemmy.world, so I just log in here if I want to read this stuff.

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Shouldn't be a problem. I've signed up for a couple of instances just to test things out. Haven't had any issues with it.
