MODERATORS
 

nuqneH!

Welcome to our new home in the Fed~~eration~~iverse. First of all- WOW we did not expect to surpass 300 users on this instance (and over 1K fediverse subscribers) within our first 48 hours and with little promotional effort. We are all excited to see where this long road goes.

Coming from Reddit and confused about Lemmy?

I had some stuff typed out, but honestly, this thread sums it up better. Check it out! It has infographics.

If you're still stressed out, remember that Lemmy is still new. Yes, it's ugly, but people said Reddit was ugly too (both are correct). As Lemmy grows, and #Rexxit continues, more tools will get made. Decentralization opens up a lot of possibilities we didn't have before. The future is bright.

Will other communities be setting up shop besides StarTrek, DaystromInstitute and Risa?

Yes! Eventually. Right now our focus is staying online, fast, and reliable which means keeping things focused while we find our footing. Daystrom, StarTrek and Risa were chosen to start off with because the three of them cover the "srs bsns ↔ shitposting" spread quite well.

If you are part of a community interested in being hosted on startrek.website, send me a DM and we can try to work something out.

Qapla'! How can I support?

We've started a Patreon here: Patreon.com/treksite. There's only one plan and it's just $4. If our growth continues like it has, we're going to need to upgrade our hosting very soon.

What's up with the "unencrypted DMs" warning?

Read here

I feel like I'm not seeing everything. What gives?

Lemmy is weird with languages. In your user settings, make sure “Language” is set to both “English” and “Undetermined”. You can select additional languages as well, but they aren’t currently allowed on this server. On desktop, you can use CTRL+click to select both options. This will allow you to see content for which the author has not set a language, and content which has been set to “English”.

This will hopefully be made more clear with future updates.

Thumbnails acting weird/not showing up (for users on another instance)?

Add this exception to your adblocker (replace "lemmy.world" with your instance):

@@||*/pictrs/*$domain=lemmy.world

Where can I find official server updates?

Follow us on Mastodon for updates, scheduled maintenance, etc.

Where can I talk with Trekkies about non-Trek stuff?

We've just opened a new "offtopic" community, welcome to [email protected], Quarks is fun!


If you have any questions for the team, please don't hesitate to ask in this thread! 🖖

Is there a way to get rid of the space on the left and right sides of the screen and make comments and posts cover the whole browser window like old Reddit does?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think there is just yet.

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.

How about a cool graphic / logo and some merch to promote the server?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not a bad idea for the future!

One issue I seem to run into quite a bit now is that if I try to access a community from another instance from this account I get 404 errors as example if I try to go to: https://startrek.website/c/[email protected]

I'm wondering If this is intended behaviour or something I might have done wrong?

How do I load an avatar for myself? I've gone to Settings --> Avatar, clicked Upload Avatar and selected an image I saved. But then I get the error message, "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data." I don't know what that means. I'm guessing that I'm violating the parameters of naming an image, and/or maybe the image's size or type? The image I was going to use is a .jpg. My only Fediverse account is this one, on startrek.website.

We haven't been able to replicate this. Have tried this recently? Or is it an error from a few weeks ago? I ask because we had a brief issue that gave a similar error but has since been fixed.

We need an LCARS theme for this site.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi, this might be a silly question - no strike that, it's definitely a silly question but one I can't figure out: is there any way to change the default sort order of comments from "Hot"? Because I'm old, I'm used to a chrono ascending view and it would be nice not having to remember to change it every time I enter a new thread.

Thankew.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just for posts (in your user settings) not comments yet.

Just FYI all the instance, and community logos are rendering as broken images.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We're aware thanks, something went wrong in the latest update, it'll be fixed soon.

Edit: fixed now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there an LCARS theme for Lemmy? I saw another instance running the Voyager theme and it got me thinking...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a Voyager theme? What instance? I'd love to add it here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy.ca has it. It used to be called wefwef.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OH, yes. vger.app is a web app (aka forntend), not a theme. It's also not "Voyager" (the show) themed per-se, I believe it's based off of the old Reddit app Apollo.
