Lemmy isn't what I expected but I love this place
Please understand: I mean this in a very, very loving way. Lemmy has so much content and so many references that I do not understand but it’s awesome seeing all these passionate communities outside of my usual circles.
With startrek.website we'd hoped creating a Star Trek themed instance might encourage other ex-moderators to start topic-specific instances too, and it would kick off a flourishing of myriad communities run by devoted moderators, a Lemmyverse so diverse and inspiring that not even Reddit could further justify it's own existence in the presence of such an obviously superior system.
Instead it turned out "Star Trek and Linux" was enough to satisfy nearly everyone's tastes (both subtle and gross).
I've been enjoying ttrpg.network but hopefully more rpg nerds come to this instance in time.
Shit like this is why I started using imgur alongside Lemmy. They're no better than reddit was, but I need my memes.

Yeah I tried a WSB themed instance. Lemmy really isn't set up to support this. Its a pretty critical issue with how its engineered and can't really be fixed in the current structure.
There's also ttrpg.network
The natural state of the internet is just trekkies and tech geeks, everyone else is an invasive species.
Eternal September, when the vermin move in.
Look at this at tell me it’s insufficiently nerdy.
Okay, I'll tell you it's insufficiently nerdy. How about a game that's been played since 1983 and has just gotten to the second turn?
The only game that came with its own protractor. I'm not joking.
Not really an "invasive species", but definitely a peripheral phenomenon.
It kinda sucks if you don't use Linux and don't watch Star Trek though :/
Well, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
I once told Lemmy users that I liked MacOS. I still haven’t recovered from the beating.
Lmao. I don't really care what OS people use. I'm not really passionate about any OS. I just use it as a medium to do things I enjoy so I'm really not interested in any OS talk about any operating system. I use all 3 OS daily pretty much (Linux, Mac and Windows).
I won't beat you this time but I did laugh at your comment.
MacOS, you mean Unix with a wallpaper? While Unix is not Linux, BSD is open source so it's nice!
You can fix both of those problems in the same evening :)
Lemmy. The final frontier.
These are the forums of the Lemmy communities.
Its continuing mission to explore strange new posts. To seek out new memes and new discussions.
To boldly go where no social media has gone before.
Cue Theramin
We just need Monty Python and hitchhikers guide and we're golden
All 3 are leftist, based on rejecting individual ownership, and related to FOSS (tangentially in Star Trek's case), and all 3 are nerdy as hell. They have a lot in common under the hood.
based on rejecting individual ownership
that and communists, a lot of communists.
And not always the chill “I live on a commune and make shirts out of hemp” communists. We’re talking about the “let’s have an armed revolution” communists.
and "if you don't boycot everything remotely connected to right-wingers you're a nazi" has happened to me more than once.
in the german communities you're also very likely to be heavily insulted if you express your enhusiasm for cars, letalone trying to explain why we can't switch everyone over to either public transportation or EVs.
I have found My People.
Is Snot Flickerman a pseudonym for Scott Aukerman? Because it sure sounds like one.
I'm not Scott Aukerman, I'm just one of his many names....
TrickShotterman, AfterShockerman, ShockJockerman, YachtRockerman, Blog Gawkerman, Stop Clockerman, Flip Flopperman, Crop Circleman, Flash Backerman, Bob Johnson.... Oh wait.
I like to think of Snot Flickerman as one of those newscasters played by Tom Kenny.
Hey now, that's unfair. It's Star Trek references, Linux memes, and disingenuous leftist in-fighting!
You're such a fake leftist.
They were here first, we are just the June Exiles.
sudo make it so
Just as Tim Berners-Lee intended 👃
Hey uhhhh you know Battletech and Warhammer are both pretty cool. They’re kinda like Star Trek (except the opposite).
Anyways.
This is truest thing I’ve seen on Lemmy.
Love the star trek memes. And like all things linux, i understand like 20% and the rest goes over my head
I have RSS feeds for the top Reddit and Lemmy posts and Lemmy always has the best memes.
Aww. Great meme. I do my part and try to post pictures in !Vancouver@lemmy.ca and !Toronto@lemmy.ca every few days.
Once I'm done posting all my pictures, in a few months, I will probably repost them to a pictures community on Lemmy for more people to see.
" wait it's just people pushing weird politics and a bunch of nsfw stuff and even the posts that seem good have some weird secondary agenda and other weird shit"
I’ve been trying very hard to revive hobby/interest communities.
and even help out wth non-ulterior motives in communities
I’d be thrilled if these take off more.
Nice
Damm it, i wanna up vote, but that number dude, its just perfect :'D
I haven't seen 1 star trek meme
All the star trek memes convinced me to start a star trek watch through. Didn't realize there were so many dang episodes, its gonna take a while.
Almost 60 years worth at this point. Hope you enjoy the journey!
I most certainly am going to, I've watched alot of random episodes from multiple different series, but my partner has only watched a few with captain janeway. We just finished part 1 of the menagerie, honestly wish we had skipped the original pilot so the episode would hit harder for her, but it is what it is.
Every night I look forward to new adventures on whatever Star Trek series that I've come to.
If I fall a sleep during an episode, I blame the episode, and I haven't regretted cutting them short like that. The good ones will be worth it and most of the bad ones too, but when the android character is playing a theater part of Sherlock Holmes on the holodeck and I'm supposed to give a shit? No.
Likewise. I downloaded what's supposed to be every episode. I don't know how I'm going to find the time to watch all this. Very intimidating.
Holy shit i just googled it and there are 903 episodes including the movies...
Same here actually. Halfway through the first season of TNG. Happy to have something to binge. Also going to switch to Linux in the neat future.
Neat!
I did the math a while back it's well over a thousand hours for all the series and movies. With the recent surge in new properties, it's going to be much higher than what I came up with even a few years ago.
