This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.

Honestly, coming over to Lemmy and the communities all being smaller has been a nice breather to how much noise there is on Reddit these days.

    As a former mod at /r/StarTrek, let me tell you there is so much more noise than the average user even saw.

    Same, at least we didn't get as many crazies over at r/startrekgifs but it was still maddening at times to read

    You guys did a bang-up job, I miss r/startrekgifs. Happy to be done with reddit, though, on the whole.

    Appreciate that. In talks to bring it here

    Seriously, aside from all the modding work that went on behind the scenes, you and the other HQG cadre drove so much traffic to reddit. I doubt I would have stayed as long as I did without all those wonderful gifs. Glad you're here! And thanks for all the laughs over the years.
