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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

Ad Astra!

I don't know if it's affecting other instances, but all images from startrek.website are denying referrals to image links from lemmy.sdf.org. In other words, all image posts show up as broken unless I open them in a new tab and refresh so the referrer becomes startrek.website. It's not affecting any of my other subbed instances, and when I open startrek.website it works fine, so I suppose something's breaking in the in-between?

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.

Subbed and so glad to be here.

Hi! I have questions on how federation works on Lemmy. In Mastodon, if someone post something from an other instance, I can see it directly, if me or someone else from my own instance follow the poster. I thought it worked like that in Lemmy too, but I started following some communities in other instances, and I can't see all the new messages (for example, compare [email protected] and startrek.website/c/[email protected]; if you have the same problem as me, a lot of new messages will not appear, even if I subscribed a few days ago). Is it a problem from Lemmy, a decision from startrek.website, or a problem with my account precisely?

Thanks for your help!

Is this instance currently taking new registrations? It might be good to get a PSA out…

I understand you’re running 17.4 so captcha can be used. My understanding was this was done because new signups are being allowed.

When I look at various aggregators of Lemmy instance information however, w keep seeing that startrek.website is closed to signup.

Take for example the information available through Lemmy - Fediverse Network Statistics posted on fedidb.org.

As there are a significant number of unhappy redditors just now who might wish to join Lemmy but are discouraged, it would be good to confirm.

I really appreciate the simple pathway that was offered for users on r/startrek back before the subs went dark June 12th. It was a successful migration for me mostly, but I understand that there’s a largish crowd of frustrated folks who haven’t made it through.

General Lemmy question, and apologies if this isn’t the place. I found a community I want to subscribe to. [email protected]. Tried to search for it in various different ways, and kept getting no results. Used various formats and got nowhere. Eventually I navigated to startrek.website/c/[email protected] and found the community. I’ve now been able to subscribe to the community, but can’t see old posts.

Will I ever be able to? If I want to interact with older posts, am I SOL, or do I just need to be patient until older posts sync?

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!
