This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.

#Welcome

Make sure you follow lots of folks in order to fill your feed. Easiest way is often to start by following hashtags... might I suggest #StarTrek as a starting point :)

"We are smart."

There’s a daily live chat over at Mastodon that I follow, where people react to Trek episodes airing on H&I (an antenna channel in the US) using the #AllStarTrek tag that’s pretty interesting as well. You can try to play “guess the episode” based on what people are saying.

Oh that's what that is. There was all this chatter about voyager and drone, I was so confused. I thought I'd missed something new from Picard day, haha.

Ooh that's awesome, easy follow.

I found this through kbin so I just want to leave this here, you can follow allstartrek@a.gup.pe through kbin and view and comment on everything in the microblog tab.

The fediverse is bigger than just your instance @zabraven and it's gaining more users every day.

Oh, that’s a really good format for that live chat, thanks!
