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
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.
