/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

MRW when my Fediverse home is overrun with spam, the sole instance owner/admin/maintainer is missing, repo inactive for months, then the site goes offline for 24 hrs and returns without explanation (lemmy.world)

I feel like this is a huge problem with Lemmy. All that talk about federation and decentralization and every guide out there for getting started is just like "just register with lemmy.world and don't worry about it". THE WHOLE FREAKING POINT is to avoid one single instance having an outsized influence on the network as a whole.

But choosing an instance to sign up with is such a huge hassle and also kind of a crapshoot. Even if you pick one that seems like a good place to be, it's highly likely the admins will either burn out quickly or just not do their job, and suddenly you're defederated because your instance is full of CSAM. Or they're actually just pieces of shit to begin with.

Fortunately, it seems like I found a decent instance for now. Lemmy.zip has more than one admin, so the burden isn't all on one person, and the main person running it seems to be just a real chill dude. I really hope it lasts.

For quite a while there, Lemmy.world was the only one that handled the reddit apicolypse rush and stayed up reliably. So it became the defacto funnel point to the Fediverse.

Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml were tankie cesspits, Beehaw were too busy sniffing their own farts yo approve registrations, Lemmy.ca gave the impression they were a Canadians-only, eh instance and a pile of others were yet to come on line or be stable. So thats where we are.

There'll be another migration wave and may be there will be more diversification in this one.
