UPDATED 9-3: StarTrek.website - Lemmy info, FAQ, Patreon info, future plans, and more!
nuqneH!
Welcome to our new home in the Federationiverse. First of all- WOW we did not expect to surpass 300 users on this instance (and over 1K fediverse subscribers) within our first 48 hours and with little promotional effort. We are all excited to see where this long road goes.
Coming from Reddit and confused about Lemmy?
I had some stuff typed out, but honestly, this thread sums it up better. Check it out! It has infographics.
If you're still stressed out, remember that Lemmy is still new. Yes, it's ugly, but people said Reddit was ugly too (both are correct). As Lemmy grows, and #Rexxit continues, more tools will get made. Decentralization opens up a lot of possibilities we didn't have before. The future is bright.
Will other communities be setting up shop besides StarTrek, DaystromInstitute and Risa?
Yes! Eventually. Right now our focus is staying online, fast, and reliable which means keeping things focused while we find our footing. Daystrom, StarTrek and Risa were chosen to start off with because the three of them cover the "srs bsns ↔ shitposting" spread quite well.
If you are part of a community interested in being hosted on startrek.website, send me a DM and we can try to work something out.
Qapla'! How can I support?
We've started a Patreon here: Patreon.com/treksite. There's only one plan and it's just $4. If our growth continues like it has, we're going to need to upgrade our hosting very soon.
What's up with the "unencrypted DMs" warning?
I feel like I'm not seeing everything. What gives?
Lemmy is weird with languages. In your user settings, make sure “Language” is set to both “English” and “Undetermined”. You can select additional languages as well, but they aren’t currently allowed on this server. On desktop, you can use CTRL+click to select both options. This will allow you to see content for which the author has not set a language, and content which has been set to “English”.
This will hopefully be made more clear with future updates.
Thumbnails acting weird/not showing up (for users on another instance)?
Add this exception to your adblocker (replace "lemmy.world" with your instance):
@@||*/pictrs/*$domain=lemmy.world
Where can I find official server updates?
Follow us on Mastodon for updates, scheduled maintenance, etc.
Where can I talk with Trekkies about non-Trek stuff?
We've just opened a new "offtopic" community, welcome to !quarks@startrek.website, Quarks is fun!
If you have any questions for the team, please don't hesitate to ask in this thread! 🖖

Wondering if there’s any progress on some of the other Trek-related subs being willing to migrate…?
While we may not have yet hit the critical mass to warrant the ‘Disco network’ of new show subs setting up, it would be great to have a Treklit sub (both books and comics) set up soon. Or one for gaming as that seems to be taking off again.
So far r/Trekbooks (or anyone TrekLit for that matter) hasn't reached out to us, but if you have a connect please shoot me a DM.
Regrettably, my recollection is that r/trekbooks didn’t even observe the blackout.
However, it looks like their traffic is down from the usual.
I could see there might be a larger proportion of book readers who might migrate here as they tend be fairly long haul fans who relied on the books post Nemesis.
I think Trekbooks was lightly moderated anyway, but I could definitely see it making sense to have them or similar a Treklit community on this instance eventually regardless.
