This instance is my first real foray into the Fediverse (aside from an unused Mastodon account) and it's been smooth sailing compared to the issues some other places have suffered through.
It's because SysAdmin does a level 10 diagnostic every day. Also the lower deckers here keep the shitposts fresh and anytime you need jamaharon you just pop on over to /c/Risa. What more could a holographic memer need?
So what I'm understanding is that the big plot twist is that we're all holograms??! Really? Talk about predictable and boring.
I, for one, am completely and utterly shocked!
You seemed to have escaped from startrek.website over to lemm.ee. I hope somebody let them know!
Don't put me back in the holodeck! I'm real, I tell you!
There is one android, the rest of us are holograms.
Hey, I kinda liked that episode.
I'm not, I'm a sentient computer virus acting as a parasite.
Yep, made a backup account on this instance since lemmy.world is constantly down
Au contraire mon capitan!
Can't even blame em. Started out in lemmy.world and switched to startrek.website the first time .world went out and someone explained to me how that works with being overloaded. Haven't looked back sense. The local timeline is awesome, the federation is awesome. It really showcases the benefit of a federated service. It made Lemmy such a great replacement for me, whereas before I was struggling to get into lemmy.
Stories like this make me very happy to hear. When I heard the /r/StarTrek and Daystrom mods talking about joining Lemmy I'd thought bringing their reputation for positivity and tolerance to a Trek-themed instance could provide a familiar and comfortable jumping-off point for users unsure about the broader Fediverse.
Honestly it has made the reddit transition so much easier. I genuinely don't miss reddit at all anymore since I've found this one. Thanks for all that y'all do!
I've stuck with my "main" on lemmy.ml, as I've had it since before the migration ... but the only other "alt" I have is on startrek.website ... as it should be!
The local timeline is awesome, the federation is awesome.
Also, Star Trek fans have expertise in the Federation.
Would be nice if they were some way to see local from other instances.
Just visit the site and select local tab. (You can't interact with anything tho unless you've got an account there)
It makes sense why. You have a smaller instance here catering to one topic, which seems to be the intent of the developers.
This isn't a different version of Reddit, but a collection of Star Trek related subs that would have been on Reddit.
startrek.website is insidious. If you use it long enough, you begin to like it.
Just like that hew-mon root beer barf
FACT
Have you ever walked out of a mall, into a huge parking area, and realized you've forgotten where you've parked your car?
