Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I've ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what's the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

It's only logical.

You do understand the entire structure of this Network is based on Star Trek, right?

What do you mean "no other scifi series"? Muad'Dib Muad'Dib Muad'Dib

I haven’t seen a single Star Trek movie and yet I find it more entertaining and hilariously funny at times.

I also prefer it to the incessant cringy cheesy Star Wars memes I would see elsewhere.

The Star Trek TV shows are far superior to any of the movies anyway.

Even starting with the original series' movies, they tried to make them more action-y than philosophical to appeal to a broader audience, and while they're a lot of fun, I rewatch the shows WAY more for a reason.

I’d been hearing talk of Lemmy as a potential Reddit alternative around the third party app debacle, but nobody seemed to be taking it terribly seriously until I saw the Star Trek subreddits open startrek.website for themselves.

That got me interested. It was the first instance I can remember of one of the bigger communities I followed just up and moving like that, and it made the whole thing feel more real.

Because Star Wars destroyed their own Empire

Resistance is futile.

Also didn’t the two big subreddits permanently shut down and move to the fediverse?
