Didn't actually realise that the #StarTrek subreddits of /r/StarTrek & /r/DaystromInstitute had permanently locked their subreddits and started 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.

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

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

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

  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
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. :(
@startrek Now I just have to figure out how Lemmy groups work from the point of view of using Mastodon.
- By @ ing the community in your original post you made a post in the Lemmy community - hello from Lemmy!
  
  @julianh oops! Don't want to spam or overwhelm is there a link I can see/delete that from do you know?
- @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
  
  @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.
- 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
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.
- 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.
