Hey maybe this could be whatβs displayed over on /r/startrek while it is down.

I'm replying to a mastodon post, from a separate lemmy instance federated with startrek.website.
I'm living in the future.
What is this, the Mycelium Network?!
Free from the Ferengi's profiteering schemes
I was fumbling around Lemmy instances looking for a βhome baseβ, frustrated when I couldnβt find anything I liked. Then I found this one posted on the Lemmy subreddit and was immediately excited!
Hit it!
I'm in the same boat! None of the big, general-purpose instances had quite what I was looking for. A dedicated one for Star Trek makes me feel like I'm on-school Star Trek forums again, which is the way to (boldly) go.

hey all! I see that /r/strangenewworlds is also going to remain in restricted mode indefinitely, would you perhaps reach out to the mods there, and see if they'd like to join the Federation? :-D

To boldly go
Do you Federation enthusiasts know that Lemmy developers are using Star Trek names for their testing instances?

Clearly I'm living on another instance, but I'm wondering is startrek.website community creation is locked or not? Feels like all the different Trek sub-communities should be hosted here. Show specific ones like Lower Decks, things like Star Trek Online, etc. but so far it seems like its just the big 3.
There should be an Orville community there because the Orville is a Star Trek show.

That's in the plans for the future for sure! (I'm the Admin for StarTrek.website)

And I am so happy to see that. I joined up yesterday
Make it so.
@Stoat If all the good subs move to KBin, then what good is my Karma?
Then again, what good is my Karma?
It was literally only good to keep your brain hooked and building that karma. Clever assholes. Glad to get rid of that site.

Any chance r/startrekmemes is also coming over here?
We expect to expand our communities as we gain more users, so there likely will be an equivalent space on here eventually. In the mean time, though, I encourage you to meme it up on /c/risa!
Will you be updating lemmy-ui and the backend to 0.17.4? They have major database performance improvements.
I did not realize there was an update, I just installed the latest on Saturday. Thank you this is great to know.
Also dang, nice job on scoring that username π

THIS is the kind of action I was hopeful for. I haven't had a reddit account in nearly two years out of principle, and it feels great to be able to geek out/interact with other star trek nerds online.
Absolutely made up about this. Star Trek and the related subs were the only ones I used by the end of me being on Reddit.
will this community also censure people whom talk about the remote possibility that the new star trek series might not be very good
There's literally a post in their front page about criticism with Disco S4 that's incredibly constructive.
The issue was never about criticism. The issue was lazy, nonconstructive criticism.
i was barred from r/startrek for commenting on how the completely unprofessional attitudes of characters toward the chain of command was irritating to me. i compared it to the "finally" scene from tng, and how discovery has worse occurrences happen repeatedly every episode that just get completely ignored

If any of the mods of those subreddits are here, can you reconsider permanently locking?
The communities on those subs took years to develop, and you're going to lose a lot of quality posts and discussion, since most people won't just move seamlessly to a new website. Beyond that, there are years of high quality posts that members of that community have made, which may not be utterly lost, but they will certainly be more inaccessible.
I'm pissed at the Reddit admins too, but I don't enjoy being forced onto some new site.
I'm writing with the context of the Twitter takeover by Elon Musk. I tried migrating to Mastodon (which seems analogous to Reddit/Lemmy). While I enjoyed not being on a site dominated by a person who, in addition to similar API price hikes, is racist and transphobic, many of the communities I value on Twitter never migrated. The result was that Mastodon was never an adequate replacement for the Twitter networks I was in. While I appreciate not giving money to a person I hate, I'm not eager to repeat that experience, especially because it seems like Reddit's breaches are more of a pure business decision, which I find somewhat palatable, even if I'm unhappy to be forced off the apps I previously used.
I definitely am not opposed to the existence of this website, and in time I imagine it may develop its own unique community that some people value more than Reddit. However, I enjoy having the option of both sites available.
Part of the cost of having integrity in this case is needing to be patient. Reddit and Twitter didn't build the communities you are lamenting overnight. It's been two days for Reddit and less than a year for Twitter.
As for the content, nothing is stopping individuals from removing or exporting their comments. There are automated tools that will do this for you with very little effort. Reddit doesn't own the content and neither do the mods.
FYI: Mastodon is also part of the Fediverse, so you may see content from there show up on Lemmy/Kbin, and vice versa.

Migrating the community to the fediverse safeguards it from ever needing to migrate again, due to the decentralized structure where nobody controls the content. As long as it's on a corporately owned service, profit incentives will harm content or even force a migration eventually. I think it's a bit selfish to push that inconvenience onto the future users when we have an excellent opportunity to do it now, for all Reddit communities, and be done with it forever.

Hailing frequencies open!
Great of the mods to unilaterally decide for tens of thousands of users to lock and make inaccessible years and years of conversation. I'm sorry your fefes are hurt, but this "we had to destroy the village to save it" is some third-grade tantrum throwing bullshit.
You've just discovered the main problem with centralized platforms like Reddit, Discord, Twitter. The only thing stopping the mods from making a complete archive of the old platform is the Big Tech owners of Reddit. These corporate interests own all your posts, memes, and DMs, forever.
With federated platforms, the community leadership can easily backup, archive, or transfer everything whenever they like. That's the power of ownership.
Not only that, but copies of everything now exist on every single instance that's federated with startrek.website, so its potentially recoverable should something catastrophic happen.

Ah yes, because moving to a platform free from profiteering owners, an objective improvement to the community, is clearly just because fefes were hurt...
claims that others' "fefes are hurt" and says this is "some third-grade tantrum throwing bullshit"
turns out their own "fefes are hurt" and they proceed to engage in "some third-grade tantrum throwing bullshit"

I would rather see a permanent freeze instead of private. Yes it helps Reddit slightly more than private subs, but there is years of discussion that could be kept while still making it obsolete and limiting reddit's income/users from it.
