startrek.website is a partnership between /r/StarTrek and /r/DaystromInstitute from Reddit, they've both locked their subs over there for good. Follow @startrek

What's more Star Trek than joining the federation?

https://startrek.website

I'm replying to a mastodon post, from a separate lemmy instance federated with startrek.website.

I'm living in the future.

@Stoat @startrek Trekkie’s leading the way to a brighter tomorrow. As usual :) 🖖

Do you Federation enthusiasts know that Lemmy developers are using Star Trek names for their testing instances?

• enterprise.lemmy.ml
• voyager.lemmy.ml
• ds9.lemmy.ml/

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!

Free from the Ferengi's profiteering schemes

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.

They should have named it startrek.federation

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

Make it so.

Will you be updating lemmy-ui and the backend to 0.17.4? They have major database performance improvements.

Any chance r/startrekmemes is also coming over here?

@Stoat If all the good subs move to KBin, then what good is my Karma?

Then again, what good is my Karma?

To boldly go

And I am so happy to see that. I joined up yesterday

will this community also censure people whom talk about the remote possibility that the new star trek series might not be very good

Hailing frequencies open!

Incredible work, I'm so proud of this community! Makes sense that Star Trek fans would see the value of the federationverse

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.

The Bell riots are about to start on reddit, good to get out now.

Where my friends of DeSoto at?

Great of the mods to unilaterally decide for tens of thousands of users to lock and make inaccessible years and years of conversation. I'm sorry your fefes are hurt, but this "we had to destroy the village to save it" is some third-grade tantrum throwing bullshit.

Welcome to the fediverse!

Are there any browsable backups/archives of Daystrom? There's a vast amount of content there which I'd hate to see lost.

If any of the mods of those subreddits are here, can you reconsider permanently locking?

The communities on those subs took years to develop, and you're going to lose a lot of quality posts and discussion, since most people won't just move seamlessly to a new website. Beyond that, there are years of high quality posts that members of that community have made, which may not be utterly lost, but they will certainly be more inaccessible.

I'm pissed at the Reddit admins too, but I don't enjoy being forced onto some new site.

I'm writing with the context of the Twitter takeover by Elon Musk. I tried migrating to Mastodon (which seems analogous to Reddit/Lemmy). While I enjoyed not being on a site dominated by a person who, in addition to similar API price hikes, is racist and transphobic, many of the communities I value on Twitter never migrated. The result was that Mastodon was never an adequate replacement for the Twitter networks I was in. While I appreciate not giving money to a person I hate, I'm not eager to repeat that experience, especially because it seems like Reddit's breaches are more of a pure business decision, which I find somewhat palatable, even if I'm unhappy to be forced off the apps I previously used.

I definitely am not opposed to the existence of this website, and in time I imagine it may develop its own unique community that some people value more than Reddit. However, I enjoy having the option of both sites available.

I love seeing all these subs I used to watch poopi6ng up here one by one.

You guys are great. Thanks for the courage and thanks for coming here.

Absolutely made up about this. Star Trek and the related subs were the only ones I used by the end of me being on Reddit.

my subscribe was pending. I just learned that was a bug. HOORAY I'M IN!

@Stoat @startrek oh heck yeah I'm in.

Did anybody save a copy of Algernon_Asimov's guides or any of the rest of the DI wiki?

This is the lovable Star Trek spirit! ❤️🖖

@Stoat @startrek clearly no one told them about tenforward.social

this is amazing, this is how to end reddit!

/r/risa wasn’t invited?

bark! bark! bark!

@Stoat @startrek Sweet! And I can subscribe on my kbin account here: https://kbin.social/m/startrek@startrek.website

Why is it being closed for good now?

Well, hello ya'll! Let's make this new home as vibrant as the last!

Shows are released on Prime at midnight GMT right?

If only for star trek purposes, I'm all in for this. More than enough.

Man I just love the content that is growing every day in these new forums ... nice work guys ... subscribed and will come back again and again.

I feel like we've rebelled against old alliances and we are restarting again in some far off outpost with minimal supplies but plenty of hope and enthusiasm.

I've cut my ties and I'm staying on this outpost with you all.

more power to you!

Oh cool. Glad that I found you here 😀

@Stoat @startrek

Why the locked follow account? I request to follow but I can’t add you to my Trek list till after I get approved if I remember to add you later.

Any plans to have a section to represent /r/StarTrekGIFs?

Only thing I really post are sci-fi gifs anyways, so looking to move over here to do it

What news to warm my heart! Very principled to lock the subs over in crazy town even though it's difficult. I won't be going back, and the fed(erat)i(on)verse is the perfect place for Star Trek anyway!

@Stoat @startrek d'ya know if they're going to pop up on Lemmy or similar?
