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?
Star Trek is a utopia. Why wouldn’t we wish to live there?
I have absolutely 0 star trek content in my feed.
Yup, same here. Using “All” is a shit show, and I never subbed to anything startrek related.
I’m sorry.
It helps to keep us Engaged
I was just thinking there isn’t enough Star Trek.
You’re absolutely right, there should be more Stargate, Firefly, and Babylon 5 content.
Indeed
All classics, but The Expanse has them beat.
Can confirm.
Man, it seems like it might fall to me to start carrying the torch for Farscape on this platform.
I know some of you weirdos prefer your scifi full of Muppets and bondage gear.
Funny you should mention Farscape, I’ve only now started watching it (I somehow missed it when it came out). I still prefer Vala Mal Doran, but I’ll take any show with Claudia Black.
Haha I had a similar experience this year. I knew of Farscape when it was airing, but I was much more of a Stargate fan in my teens. Saw it was streaming earlier this year and proceeded through 2 seasons and some change before it was made unavailable on the streaming platform I was using. I need to obtain the rest of the series so I can begin cranking out the memes.
To be clear, the weirdos who prefer their sci Fi with Muppets and bondage gear is me. I’m weirdos.
So say we all!
I’m currently watching SG1 while drinking whisky out of a Starfleet cup. More of all the sci fi and they can all exist together!
You get used to it.
Alternatively, block those magazines. It’s a bit of a hydra, but you too can be relatively Star Trek (and Star Wars!) free
Magazines?
That’s the Kbin/mbin equivalent to Lemmy communities
Ah, that makes sense.
Thanks for clarifying!
Sorry, yes: communities
blocked tenforward, we’ll see if i end up needing to block any more
… it’s insidious, isn’t it?
Just like the federation.
If you watch enough of it, you begin to like it
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.
Because socialism and this platform is not skewed towards the centre-right/fascism
something, something, Federation …
What? I don’t remember ever before seeing anything about Star Trek on Lemmy. Then again I only look at things I am subscribed to normally.
These kinds of “why is there so much content about $topic on $platform” questions always have the same answer: we have no idea why you are getting exposed to whatever you’re getting exposed to.
you’re posting this on literally the federation
I don’t know, but I fucking love it.
If you’ve got a problem with it, I suggest watching some more Star Trek.
don’t have a problem with it it’s just weird that there is so much Star Trek focused content on communities that have absolutely nothing to do with it
It’s all Linux, Star Trek, and extremely niche porn categories.
And commies
Mmmm. I love me some Trekommie porn.
It’s even in Ask Lemmy now
It’s one of my favourite organic Lemmy things
Wtf are you talking about?
