No worries, weāll figure out how this works someday.
Genuinely so happy to find Daystrom here. Probably one of my favourite subs.
Happy to be here. Good timing with SNW starting back up again this week.
Just a thought though: Traditionally Daystrom (and the other ST subreddits) had no spoiler rules.
As we donāt have the same sort of tools to temporarily filter keywords or group communities rather than subscribe etc perhaps we could try to be a bit spoiler conscious (at least for the very latest new episode) - give people a chance to catch up.
Testing
Hello Worlds
Good point, weāre going to have to play it a little differently regarding spoilers to start out. Long term I expect to keep the same core philosophy on spoilers, but for an immature community we need to be a little more selective.
Iād be down for matching the weekly spoiler rule that kept all discussion related to a specific episode in its megathread until the next episode was out, if not a bit longer.
Why not create a spoilers subforum here - at least until this community has grown enough and the mod tools understood well enough to enforce the One Week rule?
Was thus the result of the discussion over on Reddit whether there should be a trekkies specific instance? If so, kudos!

Welcome aboard, Commander!
It feels good to be back.
Excited to see you guys on the Lemmyverse! The subreddit was always one of those places I could get lost in for hours. Now I can do it here!
From 86000 members to 300. Hopefully Reddit backs down.
Either Reddit will back down, or it will very quickly grow. I would worry more for /r/startrek, but this community doesnāt have a peer anywhere else.
Itās not going to grow much.
95% of redditors wonāt make the shift.
The Startrek community on Reddit is just going to start spinning up new subreddits to replace the ones that were closed.
Sure, it will take some time for the new communities to reestablish but it will happen.I support and regularly use federated systems and support the principals of the Startrek subs that have moved, but the reality is that societally/practically we are a long way from people choosing to move away from the various MegaSocials.
Weāve had people try to spin up alternates for years and they havenāt taken off, except with certain groups of people who canāt help but miss the entire point of Star Trek.
The moderators are as much responsible for the community as the platform is. These communities are growing exceedingly fast, and itās not like Lemmy isnāt just slightly jankier old.reddit anyway.
I suspect people being people there will be a larger surge to the Fediverse once third party apps start failing.
Just to be clear, I have no objections to the move, and agree with the stance, I just have doubts about people leaving their places of convenience.
In general I find the kind of person that moves to the fediverse to more interesting anyway.
Wishing this community success
I hope we can find KhaosWorks and some of the other Daystrom regulars over here. Iād be lost without their breakdowns ):
Well, my breakdown is ready to go as soon as I figure out where to post it! Thanks for the support!
Hooray! Excited to see you here too! Now it will truly feel like Daystrom for me at least.
Wellā¦ I was wondering which Lemmy instance to create my āAlgernon_Asimovā account on. Thanks for solving that dilemma!
Welcome aboard Algernon! Itās a pleasure to see your username in Daystrom again.
Hi everyone! Iām glad to see Daystrom has its own continuity of government bunker.
It looks like M-5 is hard at work archiving posts. Is it grabbing old PoTWs or working off some other criteria?

Currently the criteria is āwas it on the wiki and did someone message Reddit modmail asking for it (or something closely related to it)ā. So M-5 isnāt actually working very hard at all at the moment, but that can change!
We donāt currently plan to repost things that other put on Daystromās main site, but we do encourage people to repost things they were proud of from their own comment history if they feel so inclined. We intend to reopen the site in read-only mode before too much longer, which should make that process easier, and in the long run weād like to put together some kind of comprehensive off-site archive with proper credit given to submitters. Alternately, if thereās something from the wiki you would like to see preserved here, let us know and M-5 will set to work on it.
Hi all! And bye Reddit, /r/DaystromInstitute was >50% of the reason I even stayed logged in on that site.
Woo!
Posting this from my kbin account - good to see the Federation is working!
Glad this sub will survive! Although Iām a bit sad to lose my flair, I just got promoted to Jr Lieutenant.
Welcome aboard, Lieutenant!
Great, guys. I go through the trouble of purchasing ādaystrominstitute.usā and standing up a Digital Ocean droplet and just found out that somebody way more competent beat me to the punch! /s
Iād like to share a few thoughts, if I may.
I still donāt know the technical abilities of the Fediverse at-large and how customizable individual servers are. So some of these may be impossible or irrelevant.
1) Iād like to see a summary page of hosting costs with the ability to help out. Weāre kinda on our own here and nobody should have to bear the Brunt alone.2) It would be nice to see an onboarding wiki to show new users. Maybe explaining how the concepts here map to their equivalent Reddit terms.- Since (Iām assuming) this is a hosted cloud instance from one of our more technically inclined officers, it may also be good to have a page of other devops type people who can help out with server tasks when needed.
With that said, Iām genuinely thrilled to see people back and canāt wait to dive back in to reading fanon so detailed that it makes a doctoral dissertation look like a shopping list.
Cheers!
Edit: Perusing the threads and it looks like most everything I wanted is already here!
