OP- you are not on StarTrek.website. You're on feddit.de. When you scroll /c/Risa you are scrolling a "copy" on feddit.de.
I assure you we are fully functional.
EDIT: FWIW I checked /c/Risa on feddit.de and thumbnails loaded fine ...maybe try clearing your browser cache?
We've been targeted too by what's probably a couple of script kiddies trying to brute force their way into our server. Not exactly a DDOS but a similar effect. Just had to remodulate the shields a few times.
Stories like this make me very happy to hear. When I heard the /r/StarTrek and Daystrom mods talking about joining Lemmy I'd thought bringing their reputation for positivity and tolerance to a Trek-themed instance could provide a familiar and comfortable jumping-off point for users unsure about the broader Fediverse.
OH, yes. vger.app is a web app (aka forntend), not a theme. It's also not "Voyager" (the show) themed per-se, I believe it's based off of the old Reddit app Apollo.
There's a Voyager theme? What instance? I'd love to add it here.
I banned the account from the instance and alerted its instance Admin. Lemmy makes it very easy for bot accounts to self-identify and this one wasn't which makes it more suspicious. But what is its goal? Karma farming??
Maybe they simply don't like us
I'd be surprised if it's not on the devs radar, but you can always put in a feature request here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/labels/enhancement
Things may be uh- crispy for a few hours while we get re-Federated and all the other instances whallop us with traffic. It should pass within a day.
I've also just put up an announcement in /c/Quark's
