Did this site live and die in 4 days? (lemmy.world)

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.

As a former mod at /r/StarTrek, let me tell you there is so much more noise than the average user even saw.

Same, at least we didn't get as many crazies over at r/startrekgifs but it was still maddening at times to read

[-] Soupbreaker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You guys did a bang-up job, I miss r/startrekgifs. Happy to be done with reddit, though, on the whole.

[-] espais@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Appreciate that. In talks to bring it here

[-] Soupbreaker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Seriously, aside from all the modding work that went on behind the scenes, you and the other HQG cadre drove so much traffic to reddit. I doubt I would have stayed as long as I did without all those wonderful gifs. Glad you're here! And thanks for all the laughs over the years.
