why is like 30% of the content on Lemmy star trek related? is it just a side effect of the particular communities I’m in or is it an actual platform-wide thing?

    There either a lot of Trekkies, or a few that post a lot of content. Either way, I get a chuckle, even if Star Trek isn’t my thing.

    We need someone to post content for our endless doom scrolling, right?

      I try to contribute but I’m often too busy to make the memes I dream

      I love the mods and regulars on /c/tenforward, it’s a great subnet.

    I don’t know, but I fucking love it.

    If you’ve got a problem with it, I suggest watching some more Star Trek.

    There’s a big star trek instance.

    So when people migrated en masse a year ago, those were the already established communities, except like lemmy.ml stuff.

    Basically, they’re from a long time ago in a fediverse far, far away.

      There’s a big star trek instance.

      The main Star Trek meme subreddit even has a stickied thread that directs people to Lemmy:

      Lastly, it’s no secret that Reddit dot com has changed into a wannabe meta poser d1ck gobbling for profit he-gets-us trash hole. If you are as sick of that shit as I am, join us at startrek.website for another fun version of risa and other great trek discussions. It’s kind of like here, just less convenient, and no spez grifting in sight.

    Star Trek is a franchise about a bunch of nerds striving to find a “better way” to run society

    Lemmy is a platform populated by a bunch of nerds striving to find a “better way” to run society media

    Not surprising that there’s overlap
