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?

Sure but there are other franchises far more popular amongst geeks, so why Star Trek specifically?

Popular, geeky, and leftist. That last one likely resonates with a large part of the communist/socialist community we have here on Lemmy.

It certainly does for Lemmy dev Dessalines, seeing how they're responding on this thread too.

I didn't know Star Trek was related to leftist

A future without money, where peace, feminism and diversity rule? Yes, leftist ☺️

I started watching it recently because of Lemmy lol. Pretty good, though I haven't gotten to the apparently best parts yet.
