What’s more Star Trek than joining the federation?
@captainjaneway @Stoat doing it hung over on bootleg romulan ale

🤫 Don’t tell that to the Star Wars fandom! The force is also strong in the fediverse.To put it another way, the Fediverse is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.
meh
Hey maybe this could be what’s displayed over on /r/startrek while it is down.
hahahah yes pleasee
I’m replying to a mastodon post, from a separate lemmy instance federated with startrek.website.
I’m living in the future.
What is this, the Mycelium Network?!
no sir. this is the federation.
I thought it was a Wendy’s.
I thought we were the borg
DON’T PROVOKE THE BORG
“I learned it by watching you!” 😭
No, that’s the Delta Quadrant.
No, this is Patrick.
Instructions unclear, starship stuck in wormhole.
I’m replying to your post on a lemmy instance federated with startrek.website, from another lemmy instance federated with lemmy.world.
Things get mighty confusing, but fun in their own ways.
EDIT: Also didn’t realise that this was a Mastodon post, but that would explain why some of the comments have a bit of unusual formatting.
Do you Federation enthusiasts know that Lemmy developers are using Star Trek names for their testing instances?
Speaking of Federation enthusiasts, the whole network is supposedly part of a Federation, which is a fun touch.
yes
that was the joke
/r/YourJokeBu…
Damn. The lump in my brain with all the subreddit names is now as useless as the one with all the Pokémon.
Ha! That’s awesome
Free from the Ferengi’s profiteering schemes
They should have named it startrek.federation
Not a valid TLD sadly
We’ve had one Federation, yes. What about second.federation?
I was fumbling around Lemmy instances looking for a “home base”, frustrated when I couldn’t find anything I liked. Then I found this one posted on the Lemmy subreddit and was immediately excited!
Hit it!
I’m in the same boat! None of the big, general-purpose instances had quite what I was looking for. A dedicated one for Star Trek makes me feel like I’m on-school Star Trek forums again, which is the way to (boldly) go.
Clearly I’m living on another instance, but I’m wondering is startrek.website community creation is locked or not? Feels like all the different Trek sub-communities should be hosted here. Show specific ones like Lower Decks, things like Star Trek Online, etc. but so far it seems like its just the big 3.
That’s in the plans for the future for sure! (I’m the Admin for StarTrek.website)
I wanna see a r/shittydaystrom here as well
its such a fun subThere is a whole lot of love love for ShittyDaystrom on this mod team, so no worries. It’ll be here!
and don’t forget about /r/tenagra
His arms open
Reddit, its face white, its eyes red.
Create the community that you wish to see?
Which mod were you on the /r/startrek sub?
Are the rules from there basically carried over here? Or will we start seeing racist/homophobic/other shitty behavior-style trek posts being allowed?
Just want to know if signing up is worth it or if I should move on.
Thank you.
I’m the original founder of /r/StarTrek and while I’m not a mod there anymore, I can vouch that the teams there and here are the same.
OK cool, thank you. I guess I will see how things pan out. Appreciate you guys taking the time to keep the community going.
Not just going, boldly going.
HA!
Your username should either be Computer or The Warp Core.
This unit must survive.
“This is your friendly, positronic, pissed off system admin, back on line!”
There should be an Orville community there because the Orville is a Star Trek show.
I just started watching that show a couple days ago
What do you think so far? Season 1 has some pretty good episodes—something you can’t always say about Star Trek proper.
I thought it was just going to be a parody of star trek the whole time like space balls was for star wars, but it had some interesting concepts and a lot of character development. Not what I expected at all, but I love it.
It gets better, too!
I miss The Orville! It filled a huge void for me.
Hey, if it stars an extra from Enterprise, it’s canon.
Cassidy Yates is also a regular there so double canon?
Voyager’s Doctor makes an appearance too
If we count all the guest stars (Picardo, Sirtis, Billingsly, Russ, etc) and directors (Frakes, McNeill) together, it might be close to triple canon then.
Edit: Couldn’t leave Tuvok relegated to “etc”.
And it has the (sniff) ideology of Trek
The Doctor vs. Phlox, even. Turns out Phlox was a bit of a dick.
Marina Sirtis is in an episode as well.
… and some more I’d forgotten about: https://screenrant.com/orville-star-trek-actors-cameos-every/
That makes Babylon 5 canon as well.
Speaking of… Did you see the trailer for the new Babylon 5 movie?
WAT no, I didn’t!
@raspberry_confetti @Powderhorn
“Great maker!”
Naming it into a more generic sci-fi name, like scifi.website, might have made more sense, since it would open things up for other franchises, like star wars/stargate/doctor who to also be hosted.
It would be a bit like rec.arts.sf.* from back in the day.
With Star Trek being such a massive franchise with a bunch of subcommunities, I think it makes some sense for it to be its own thing. There’s no need to merge communities, having dedicated spaces is nice.
Make it so.
THIS is the kind of action I was hopeful for. I haven’t had a reddit account in nearly two years out of principle, and it feels great to be able to geek out/interact with other star trek nerds online.
And now I have the Pearl Jam song stuck in my head. Thanks.
Incredible work, I’m so proud of this community! Makes sense that Star Trek fans would see the value of the federationverse
live long and prosper
Qapla’
Any chance r/startrekmemes is also coming over here?
We expect to expand our communities as we gain more users, so there likely will be an equivalent space on here eventually. In the mean time, though, I encourage you to meme it up on /c/risa!
hey all! I see that /r/strangenewworlds is also going to remain in restricted mode indefinitely, would you perhaps reach out to the mods there, and see if they’d like to join the Federation? :-D
If memory serves, they were shutting down for everything except discussion threads. IDK if that plan changed or not.
yep, i think that was their plan… might as well extend the olive branch, though, and see if they’d like to join the Federation
@Stoat If all the good subs move to KBin, then what good is my Karma?
Then again, what good is my Karma?
It was literally only good to keep your brain hooked and building that karma. Clever assholes. Glad to get rid of that site.
You gain no karma on Lemmy either
I suspect the Tibetan Buddhist understanding of karma as something you impose upon yourself is oddly appropriate here.
I figure that a move from lemmy to kbin would be pretty seamless.
They are. There’s some formatting issues, but they are fairly compatible with each other, other than some minor problems with things like text formatting, but that’s probably an issue of the interface, rather than Kbin.
