Please understand: I mean this in a very, very loving way. Lemmy has so much content and so many references that I do not understand but it’s awesome seeing all these passionate communities outside of my usual circles.

All the star trek memes convinced me to start a star trek watch through. Didn't realize there were so many dang episodes, its gonna take a while.

    I most certainly am going to, I've watched alot of random episodes from multiple different series, but my partner has only watched a few with captain janeway. We just finished part 1 of the menagerie, honestly wish we had skipped the original pilot so the episode would hit harder for her, but it is what it is.

    Every night I look forward to new adventures on whatever Star Trek series that I've come to.

    If I fall a sleep during an episode, I blame the episode, and I haven't regretted cutting them short like that. The good ones will be worth it and most of the bad ones too, but when the android character is playing a theater part of Sherlock Holmes on the holodeck and I'm supposed to give a shit? No.

    Likewise. I downloaded what's supposed to be every episode. I don't know how I'm going to find the time to watch all this. Very intimidating.

    With startrek.website we'd hoped creating a Star Trek themed instance might encourage other ex-moderators to start topic-specific instances too, and it would kick off a flourishing of myriad communities run by devoted moderators, a Lemmyverse so diverse and inspiring that not even Reddit could further justify it's own existence in the presence of such an obviously superior system.

    Instead it turned out "Star Trek and Linux" was enough to satisfy nearly everyone's tastes (both subtle and gross).

    The natural state of the internet is just trekkies and tech geeks, everyone else is an invasive species.

    It kinda sucks if you don't use Linux and don't watch Star Trek though :/

    I once told Lemmy users that I liked MacOS. I still haven’t recovered from the beating.

    Lemmy. The final frontier.

    These are the forums of the Lemmy communities.

    Its continuing mission to explore strange new posts. To seek out new memes and new discussions.

    To boldly go where no social media has gone before.

    All 3 are leftist, based on rejecting individual ownership, and related to FOSS (tangentially in Star Trek's case), and all 3 are nerdy as hell. They have a lot in common under the hood.

    And nobody mentioned beans?

    You can't have Lemmy without at least one reference to beans!

    Hey now, that's unfair. It's Star Trek references, Linux memes, and disingenuous leftist in-fighting!

    Hey uhhhh you know Battletech and Warhammer are both pretty cool. They’re kinda like Star Trek (except the opposite).

    Anyways.
