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.

        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.

          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.

          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.
