Computer, end program Reddit and load program Lemmy.

[–] deepthaw@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Federation and Lemmy and all this reminds me of the olden days of talking Trek via USENET and FidoNet (much more the former although technologically, it’s closer to the latter.)

[–] kargarocP4@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

Abandoning USENET was one of the biggest mistakes of all time

Right now? Just...be here. We're going to need a critical mass of users to keep this place lively.

[–] End0fLine@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

I think @USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website's super serious episode recaps could keep the website open on their own!

[–] 2muchcaffeine4u@startrek.website 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't fully understand the whole instances thing, but I know if I make an account on startrek.website's instance, I can't see a lot of other instances that I can see when I log into an account I made on, say, lemmy.world or lemmy.ml. Is there something that mods need to do to enable this, or is this a purposeful decision to stay unconnected to non-Star Trek related instances? If that's the case then everyone will need to make another account to view this content, which creates a lot more friction and would limit the odds of achieving critical mass.

[–] GuyFleegman@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

There is more friction when you try to subscribe across the fediverse, yes. When you subscribe via federation, your home Lemmy has to pull the content in. (This is an interesting view, as far as I can tell its all the communities that accounts here have subscribed to.)

On some level the best approach would be to put your account on a big Lemmy so all the communities there are preloaded from your account, while you still have the option of subscribing to communities on other Lemmys and pulling them in.

That said, there are already apps and browser extensions that manage this for you with Mastodon. Here's one example. This just makes it so "Subscribe" buttons on other Mastodons work by doing the extras steps for you. It's only a matter of time before utilities like this start materializing for Lemmy. (They may already exist.)

I didn't grok this is how federated subscriptions would work before joining here (although in retrospect and as a Mastodon user, it's obvious) so like you I'm a little bummed out. But upon further reflection, I'm good with dealing with these inconveniences until extensions, apps, and Lemmy itself starts to alleviate them in software if it means I get to beam into other Lemmys as "GuyFleegman@startrek.website."

I believe I’ve figured out the issue for iPhones.

One has to close the keyboard before hitting the send arrow to post the comment.

However, rather than having the typical iPhone blue β€˜Done’ command to close the keyboard, it says β€˜Cancel’.

Of course, this intuitively suggests you would be canceling the comment when it’s just closing the keyboard.

Daft actually.

Hey folks! Another Reddit refugee here, thanks for having me. πŸ––

[–] RandalThor@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

So we can have multiple Star Trek communities on this instance. Days from is already set up.

By the way, I keep getting β€˜request rejected by server’ messages when I try to reply. I’m logged in on Mlem which is in beta. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello, world.

[–] GuyFleegman@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Janeway did the right thing. It was two lives vs one.

Also, is now a good time to tell everyone I love the Enterprise theme song, and Move Along Home?

[–] Weerdo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Before we discuss the Candle and the Ghost. Please.

I took a shuttle instead. You never know when you might get reconstituted as a pile of goo or secretly assimilated.

Hey there. Happy to have a new home prior to Thursday! Can't wait to boldy go to even more new strange worlds!

Over a decade browsing r/startrek, glad I dont have to be on reddit anymore!

[–] lemillionsocks@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

So are you actually tied to the old /r/startrek sub? If so I love that you guys are boldly going straight into a full on star trek instance rather than latching onto an existing instance and making a community.

For what it's worth star trek has always been one of those nerdy communities that thrived with message boards and such online so it actually does make sense to have a full on independent instance.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So are you actually tied to the old /r/startrek sub?

That's us. We really hope we can achieve critical mass here.

[–] chrundle@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why is there a whole Star Trek instance AND a Star Trek community on that instance?

[–] kfoo@mas.to 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] chrundle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

So in that case, can we assume that this instance is the Prime timeline, and the earlier created community (!startrek@lemmy.ml) is the JJ/Kelvin timeline?

[–] Lockely@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

Considering the one on lemmy.ml basically has zero activity, I would assume this one simply eats the smaller community.
