Dear Lemmy, why Star Trek?? (programming.dev)

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?

From what I've seen of Lower Decks I really dig it and it seems to fit in quite nicely IMO

That's the only new Trek show I've seen since DS9

The new Trek movies were pretty meh IMO

honestly, y'all should both give strange new worlds a shot. to me they're the closest we've ever gotten to TOS. even moreso than TNG. and i agree that the other new treks were ass.

Agreed. I was soooo doubtful about SNW after discovery. Picard season 3 was fantastic, but the first two seasons were hot garbage

Sorry for being imprecise, I specifically meant DIS and PIC. However, SNW I found to be pretty good and I agree it has a certain TOS feel to it! (except the musical episode, which was quite bad imo)

I've heard good things about strange new worlds and I've been meaning to check it out

Sorry for being imprecise, I specifically meant DIS and PIC. However, I can´t stand how fast they talk in LD, sadly that makes it pretty unwatchable for me.
