This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.
I’ve been visiting Reddit since 2006 and had an account there for nearly 17 years. I remember it before subreddits were a thing. It was for tech nerds and other associated weirdos before entering a genuinely charming period for a few years, but those days are long in the past. I’d rather try out something new with a smaller group of interesting people who are also into trying new things, and I hope this site is able to keep chugging along regardless of whatever is happening at Reddit.

#Welcome
Make sure you follow lots of folks in order to fill your feed. Easiest way is often to start by following hashtags… might I suggest #StarTrek as a starting point :)
“We are smart.”
There’s a daily live chat over at Mastodon that I follow, where people react to Trek episodes airing on H&I (an antenna channel in the US) using the #AllStarTrek tag that’s pretty interesting as well. You can try to play “guess the episode” based on what people are saying.
Ooh that’s awesome, easy follow.
I found this through kbin so I just want to leave this here, you can follow allstartrek@a.gup.pe through kbin and view and comment on everything in the microblog tab.
The fediverse is bigger than just your instance @zabraven and it’s gaining more users every day.
Oh, that’s a really good format for that live chat, thanks!
Oh that’s what that is. There was all this chatter about voyager and drone, I was so confused. I thought I’d missed something new from Picard day, haha.
