A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Hey there! You may recognize me as a mod over on !TenForward@lemmy.world, a Star Trek-themed meme and shitposty community. We love having our fun and hanging out but we're also not averse to some serious discussions or news as well! While it is always allowed in TenForward, we realize that there might be a better place for it.

Recently, a group of us had a chat. The mods of TenForward as well as @GuyFleegman, original creator of /r/Risa and /c/Risa, and @Tenthrow, mod extraordinaire and the owner of !StarTrek@lemmy.world. We all had different (and some same) reasons for wanting to start a fresh Trek community that was a bit more serious that what we currently had access to. So after some work (and this late posting by me), we have reopened !StarTrek@Lemmy.world!

As mentioned, we hope to make the place more inviting and welcoming for Star Trek based news as well as Trek themed discussions and debates. We also plan on posting regular discussion ideas as mods and highly encourage everyone to participate and to post your own questions too! Nothing gets a Trekkies warp core revving like a good bit of theory crafting.

Beam on over and check things out! Shields are currently down and no nebulae in range so don't worry about interference. Just pop on over and join in on the fun!

I hate seeing everything concentrated on just lemmy.world. The startrek.website admins need to fix their shit so we have instance variety again.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Yeeeah, I am not sure they are going to change anything. They'd have to handover that whole instance to new people to fix that. Not gonna happen. And that's sad, its such a killer instance name, and Star Trek being basically the "federation" which is so crucial for Lemmy.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yep. Will never happen. It would require @Corgana, owner of Startrek.website, to stop letting @ValueSubtracted walk all over him. Corgana either simply doesn't care, has gotten too deep and doesn't want to deal with the fallout with Value, or simply has no spine. Everything could be changed but it revolves entirely around the behavior of Corgana and the decisions he will make. From everything that I've seen, he's a really good person who has a really good head on his shoulders. I don't know why he's decided to throw his chips in with a manipulative narcissist like ValueSubtracted.

Value has no power and, hilariously, zero value of his own. He does not contribute to the running of the site, he only contributes to posting. He has no involvement outside of reporting back to Corgana. Corgana, consequently, doesn't really post anything himself. If Corgana is relying entirely on Value to make the content then he's driving away all of the other people who want to engage because they would have to deal with the ineptitude, petty behavior, childish temper tantrums, abuse, lies, and manipulation of ValueSubtracted. However if he got rid of Value then the community would thrive under its own power because they wouldn't have to deal with the sporadic emotional freakouts of Value.

It would be funny if it wasn't so utterly pathetic.

I agree, just venting. It's unfortunate =(

[–] bigfoot@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What do Admins need to fix? I have never had a problem with the communities there.

[–] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I don't know lol, but for some reason enough people have been made mad that /c/Risa died and a whole new community was made, and now it's happening again. Something is clearly up.

[–] bigfoot@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago

I don't think so. OP was banned from startrek.website for harassing and I think they are just mad. I am inclined to believe the admins here since they are the same ones from reddit.
