It's only logical.

it's a series about having autism

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

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.

Resistance is futile.

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

Because Star Wars destroyed their own Empire

Federation.

Because that community decided to leave and start a place here when things blew up. Other communities didn't. They're active, so people hang out there. There's a fairly low barrier to entry for new folks to participate (a lot of people have watched some Star Trek).

Really, having an active community say, we're leaving and setting up shop here goes a long way. I wish my niche subreddit had done so as well.

Fediverse: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.
