Yes, I just have one question: was it a long road getting from there to here?

Fwiw, I am very happy to support the patreon but I don't feel great about it being attached to server perks. For some people $4/mo is nothing at all and for others it is genuinely significant. I don't want the Star Trek instance of all instances to be rewarding those who can afford to contribute financially.

Ooh how exciting! I can't wait to talk about everything Star Trek related - lightsabers, Death Stars, droids and more!

(Jk don't ban me lol)

I've joined the Patreon, but I won't be opening an account on the instance since I'll be following your communities from my own. Thanks so much!

Decided to join the exodus and couldn't think of a better place to land.

Going to take a bit of time wrapping my head around Lemmy but can't support Reddit anymore.

Thanks to everyone who put the effort in to make this so.

Hey! Just wanted to say thanks to the admins here. I was interested inblemmy but didn't know where to jump on until I saw the startrek server then I knew I was ready to move along home.

Alamarian!

I’ve also joined the Patreon, appreciate the low flat-rate membership.

Hopefully, this place can get broad membership, enough to cover the storage etc.

Based on the first 48 hours, no reason not to dream big.

Personally I think if you can customize the visuals, you guys should totally go for an LCARS style theme as that would be amazing. Maybe even get the exact typeface for it too.

For the record, if you want to stay on top of discussion on the front page, make sure you sort by new. I'd argue that should probably be the default for now.

Tossed a few slips of GPL your way. I'll be staying on my current instance, but good Trek discussion is a must have.

Any chance for a ShittyDaystrom? I don't want to mod it (I'm a terrible mod) but I sure would love to shitpost there.

edit: seems like the only active mod on ShittyDaystrom on Reddit has ran a script to edit all their old comments, and Reddit suspended them for it. The sub on Reddit appears to be running fine with no mods. I think it would be a fine candidate for creating a community here, the people in the Reddit sub are happily shitposting Star Trek memes with no active mods at all. If someone who is not a terrible mod, like myself, would like to take it on, I seriously doubt it will be much work.

I appreciate the effort. Your actions are directly related to me finally giving lemmy and the fediverse a shot. I offer my support (patreon and whatever) for however long I can.

Looking forward to exploring this strange new world.

I've seen a bit of drama in other Lemmy instances about various things and it's made me think startrek.website needs a very clear set of rules.

@Admin This is great!!!

Hi, I've just been reading about the case to defederate from fb/meta instances (https://startrek.website/post/289809?scrollToComments=true) and was wondering if the team was aware of the fedipact?

Congratulations on the move; here's hoping other communities follow suit.

A potentially stupid question so I apologise in advance. Am I right in thinking that this community is sitting on a Lemmy-based server, but it just has an unusual name rather than the typical xxxxx.lemmy/lemmy.xxxxx format?

Thank you for all your hard work, I am broke af right now but I will definitely contribute to a patreon once I get a steady income again!

This is a really cool moment to be involved in the future of social media, this community might be humble and small right now but it is part of the bleeding edge of the evolution of social media.

I find installing an addon that redirects r/startrek to this website has been helping my pavlov response.

Was pretty skeptical about all this stuff, but it seems like y'all have succeeded in moving a good chunk of people from Reddit to this new place, which hopefully bodes well for the future.

Hopefully y'all will be able to keep moderation functioning well, especially considering that a lot of Folks'll stay split between here and the Reddit subs. Like the biggest reason (IMO, of course) that r/DaystromInstitute is/was one of the best subs out there was just how effective the moderators are/were.

Welcome to the Federation, r/starTrek!
