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?
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.
