Welcome to the Federation, r/starTrek!

Was pretty skeptical about all this stuff, but it seems like y'all have succeeded in moving a good chunk of people from Reddit to this new place, which hopefully bodes well for the future.

Hopefully y'all will be able to keep moderation functioning well, especially considering that a lot of Folks'll stay split between here and the Reddit subs. Like the biggest reason (IMO, of course) that r/DaystromInstitute is/was one of the best subs out there was just how effective the moderators are/were.

Hi! I have questions on how federation works on Lemmy. In Mastodon, if someone post something from an other instance, I can see it directly, if me or someone else from my own instance follow the poster. I thought it worked like that in Lemmy too, but I started following some communities in other instances, and I can't see all the new messages (for example, compare !france@lemmy.world and startrek.website/c/france@lemmy.world; if you have the same problem as me, a lot of new messages will not appear, even if I subscribed a few days ago). Is it a problem from Lemmy, a decision from startrek.website, or a problem with my account precisely?

Thanks for your help!

I don't know if it's affecting other instances, but all images from startrek.website are denying referrals to image links from lemmy.sdf.org. In other words, all image posts show up as broken unless I open them in a new tab and refresh so the referrer becomes startrek.website. It's not affecting any of my other subbed instances, and when I open startrek.website it works fine, so I suppose something's breaking in the in-between?

@Admin@startrek.website startrek.website is returning a 502 bad gateway error.

What about kbin

I saw most of TNG and all of Voyager and DS9 during their initial runs as a kid and to this day Voyager is still my favorite Trek series. It can be a little variable at times with guest writers, like the warp 10 thing, and the series finale manages to be one of the most anti-climactic of anything I’ve ever seen, but it had a real killer of an ensemble cast, a larger story, and a surprising amount of character development. And I know I already mentioned the cast but it’s hard not to love mama bear Janeway

My wife has always casually liked TOS but had never seen all of TNG or any of DS9 or VOY. We watched all of them together during lockdown. She liked them all, but Voyager was her favorite of the bunch, too

I can't seem to dm you for some reason (maybe because I'm registered on programming.dev?), but if you were interested I'd love to get startrekgifs running here with a clean start.

Subbed and so glad to be here.

Ad Astra!

For those wondering, Patreon is charging the equivalent of $US 4 in whatever the member’s currency happens to be, rounded to the nearest full unit.

For Canadians, that turns out to be $CDN 6 + HST.

I don’t think I’ve been charged HST on Patreon membership contributions previously.

For some reason images and logos are now showing on chrome but still not on Firefox or Edge.

Can you share more about the server configuration and stats on the number of users? It had some hiccups earlier but now the site is rock-solid so I was curious what it runs on.

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.
