Suggestion: sticky a post explaining the differences between the !StarTrek, !DaystromInstitute and !Risa communities (kbin.social)

I've noticed a number of memes already popping on this community. One thing I always valued about Reddit was that the larger communities were often able to clearly delineate which spaces were for different types of content, and I'd hate for that to get lost in the move to the Fediverse.

Could I suggest that, while people are still getting used to the new home of the communities that used to exist in the Star Trek subreddits, it might be helpful to distinguish between them with a simple sticky post on each community?

e.g. Something along the lines of:

!StarTrek is for Star Trek news and discussion.

!DaystromInstitute is for serious, in-depth discussion.

!Risa is for memes and shitposts.

Please help the mods by picking the right community to post in, and live long and prosper!

This would also have the benefit of continually publicising the existence of the smaller DaystromInstitute and Risa communities.

The "StarTrek" community is also the default one, so anything goes there, until things get active enough to have to be shuffled to /c/Risa.

Since there's not a lot of meme activity yet, things are probably fine for the time being.

That's not what it looks like to me. Many of the top items I see when I open [email protected] right now are memes and low effort posts: 'Seven of Nine arrested', 'There's an ass in assimilate', 'Not every day on the Enterprise is adventure', 'Khan', etc.

I think there's a danger of this becoming the default 'Star Trek shitposts' community, which I don't think is going to be much of a draw for r/startrek uses to come over from Reddit. I'd say least nudge that stuff towards Risa before people get too settled (which is what I'm suggesting in this post), but at some point I'd be happy with stricter moderation too if nudging doesn't work.
