Please be aware that comment violates our instance rules, we are assuming it is some kind of misguided joke. Please try to be more respectful in the future.

I…don’t know that there’s much of any real point to this post. I don’t know a lot of people who watch Trek and wanted to share

Literally the point of this entire instance :)

It appears that perhaps a transporter accident has duplicated this post...

Might as well had been a million, I don't think it could have gone better! ❤️

[–] Admin@startrek.website 11 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

I have no idea where you're seeing a million, I'm seeing 1,300. But that's still very high for the fediverse! And it's definitely the highest we've ever had in one of our local communities.

Not to the American East Coast😅(I added a sticky comment clarifying)

First of all I agree, but also on that note- we have actually been in touch with the writer for that episode (Eric Anthony Glover) about a possible AMA in the future as well. But first we want to see how this one goes!

To be clear, this is for 4pm EST

This is the thread for questions!

Sexism violates our instance principles, I know you're a regular here so please edit your comment (being Australian is not a excuse here).

 

~~We're tweaking some settings on our new host to address the stability issues we've seen since transferring to the new hosting provider last week. StarTrek.website users might see above-average load times today and a few brief periods (1-2 minutes) of downtime.~~

This is completed. Please let us know if you experience any issues!

 

We are transferring to a new server. We expect everything to be complete without 48hours but could possibly take longer if we run into any issues.

Check our Mastodon account for updates: https://tenforward.social/@TrekSite

And if you would like to help with our increased hosting costs please consider subscribing to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/treksite

We will hopefully be seeing everyone on the other side very soon, if you have any inappropriate comments you've always wanted to make, now is the time to risk making them because they might not get caught in the backup!

🖖

EDIT: If you use vger.startrek.website or old.startrek.website those will likely take more time to get up and running again. Also the Wiki is sadly going away indefinitely.

 

Apologies for the inconvenience! Drunk

 
 

EDIT: We are back, see this thread in /c/Quark's It's read-only so that we don't miss anything while all our isolinear chips get backed up. Apologies for the inconvenience and we'll resume full-power systems ASAP.

 

nuqneH!

Welcome to our new home in the Fed~~eration~~iverse. First of all- WOW we did not expect to surpass 300 users on this instance (and over 1K fediverse subscribers) within our first 48 hours and with little promotional effort. We are all excited to see where this long road goes.

Coming from Reddit and confused about Lemmy?

I had some stuff typed out, but honestly, this thread sums it up better. Check it out! It has infographics.

If you're still stressed out, remember that Lemmy is still new. Yes, it's ugly, but people said Reddit was ugly too (both are correct). As Lemmy grows, and #Rexxit continues, more tools will get made. Decentralization opens up a lot of possibilities we didn't have before. The future is bright.

Will other communities be setting up shop besides StarTrek, DaystromInstitute and Risa?

Yes! Eventually. Right now our focus is staying online, fast, and reliable which means keeping things focused while we find our footing. Daystrom, StarTrek and Risa were chosen to start off with because the three of them cover the "srs bsns ↔ shitposting" spread quite well.

If you are part of a community interested in being hosted on startrek.website, send me a DM and we can try to work something out.

Qapla'! How can I support?

We've started a Patreon here: Patreon.com/treksite. There's only one plan and it's just $4. If our growth continues like it has, we're going to need to upgrade our hosting very soon.

What's up with the "unencrypted DMs" warning?

Read here

I feel like I'm not seeing everything. What gives?

Lemmy is weird with languages. In your user settings, make sure “Language” is set to both “English” and “Undetermined”. You can select additional languages as well, but they aren’t currently allowed on this server. On desktop, you can use CTRL+click to select both options. This will allow you to see content for which the author has not set a language, and content which has been set to “English”.

This will hopefully be made more clear with future updates.

Thumbnails acting weird/not showing up (for users on another instance)?

Add this exception to your adblocker (replace "lemmy.world" with your instance):

@@||*/pictrs/*$domain=lemmy.world

Where can I find official server updates?

Follow us on Mastodon for updates, scheduled maintenance, etc.

Where can I talk with Trekkies about non-Trek stuff?

We've just opened a new "offtopic" community, welcome to !quarks@startrek.website, Quarks is fun!


If you have any questions for the team, please don't hesitate to ask in this thread! 🖖
