I hear you, but "drawing folks into the fandom tent" was not what Quark's (or the instance for that matter) was created for. Quark's has always been "General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website.".
That said, if you or anyone else wanted to create a community with that or a related stated purpose (and promised to grow and actively maintain it in line with instance values) I would be more than happy to entertain the idea. But you can't have mine lol
The admin team doesn't make instance decisions based on what's "popular". It's actually against our mission statement. Though that doesn't mean community input is ignored.
But that being said, admins can see who's voting and we can see that the downvotes are not coming from users with much/any history in this community. So we are not taking their feedback strongly into account.
Thanks, we do too!
I don't want to be a mod here anymore 😭
Ugh thanks for letting me know, does it happen every time you click it? And would you say the problem has been less frequent overall?
I think I might have fixed it, let me know if you encounter it again.
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.
Maybe they simply don't like us
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.
It's in the list of things to add for sure. But if you're good at theming you can actually make a theme just for yourself.
We're not opposed to hosting non-Star Trek communities as long as they adhere to instance guidelines, but before you move you should know that the federation gap with .world is closing and should be finally caught up before the end of the week.
