[–] Wintermute@lemmy.villa-straylight.social 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) This only proves that you can't unilaterally migrate a subreddit. That instance currently has ~250 users. I don't know how active the subs it represents were, but surely they had at least an order of magnitude more active users than that? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lockely@pawb.social 3 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) Since it's based around a show, Trek as a whole is in a show lull until Thursday. The folks who normally run the weekly content posts have already migrated over. There has been half a dozen attempts at replacing r/startrek with versions of it not run by that mod team and all have failed to gain traction, so good luck to anyone trying to do that. They run a tight ship and make it one of the more enjoyable subs on the site. Trekkies have existed in groups in one form or another since Usenet and BBS. Moving to a new technology is nothing new to us. That being said, 250 users in 1 day (they didnt get it set up and actually open until last night) is nothing to scoff at. Edit: As of now (2am ET on Wednesday) they're at 800+ subscribers to the mainsub. That's-- not bad at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SickIcarus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago Is it the same mods as /r/startrek? permalink fedilink source parent
