Star Trek is a franchise about a bunch of nerds striving to find a "better way" to run society
Lemmy is a platform populated by a bunch of nerds striving to find a "better way" to run social media
Not surprising that there's overlap
I don't know, but I fucking love it.
If you've got a problem with it, I suggest watching some more Star Trek.
don't have a problem with it it's just weird that there is so much Star Trek focused content on communities that have absolutely nothing to do with it
It's even in Ask Lemmy now
the venn diagram of star trek fans and terminally online Linux nerds that gravitate towards lemmy is basically a circle
... the unit circle, in fact! In this talk, I will explain how the Fediverse and rhe Federation are analagous constructs in ...
where is everybody going?
It helps to keep us Engaged
Star Trek is popular among left-wing turbonerds, aka Lemmys primary demographic. There was also a big push to join Lemmy on r/StarTrek after Reddits API controversy.
It’s almost as if lemmy itself is a United Federation of Servers 🤔
you’re posting this on literally the federation
There either a lot of Trekkies, or a few that post a lot of content. Either way, I get a chuckle, even if Star Trek isn't my thing.
We need someone to post content for our endless doom scrolling, right?
I try to contribute but I’m often too busy to make the memes I dream
I love the mods and regulars on /c/tenforward, it’s a great subnet.
I wish I saw that much Star Trek content.
Block Linux and pervy anime and you'll see a lot more star trek.
c/tenforward
I'm already subscribed there :)
You on risa too?
Ah shi- that's the one I was missing. New account who dis and all. Thank you lol
You're absolutely right, there should be more Stargate, Firefly, and Babylon 5 content.
Indeed
So say we all!
Man, it seems like it might fall to me to start carrying the torch for Farscape on this platform.
I know some of you weirdos prefer your scifi full of Muppets and bondage gear.
I’m currently watching SG1 while drinking whisky out of a Starfleet cup. More of all the sci fi and they can all exist together!
There's an entire Star Trek instance (startrek.website) that followed the /r/daystrominstitute community from reddit during the Exodus.
Hey, watch it buddy
That's what I signed up for.
I agree. Star Trek.
Star Trek is a utopia. Why wouldn't we wish to live there?
I was just thinking there isn't enough Star Trek.
It's one of my favourite organic Lemmy things
You get used to it.
... it's insidious, isn't it?
Just like the federation.
If you watch enough of it, you begin to like it
Alternatively, block those magazines. It's a bit of a hydra, but you too can be relatively Star Trek (and Star Wars!) free
Use the voyager app or webapp. You can block communities and keywords.
I do block communities and keywords, but like i said there is a lot of star trek content in non-star trek comms as well, and the keywords thing doesn't help if the post's image is the only thing that mentions star trek.
something, something, Federation ...
Need more LEXX: The Dark Zone
Because socialism and this platform is not skewed towards the centre-right/fascism
the tribbles are taking over, there's way more of them than there is of us.
A lot less than 1% of mine is Star Trek related. I'm not even even sure I've seen enough Star Trek content for it to register as a meaningful fraction of a %.
So, yeah I would think that:
is it just a side effect of the particular communities I’m in
Like discussed in another very recent topic related to porn, it's great to be able to easily filter-out whatever one does not wish to see.
