Where my friends of DeSoto at?
Best boss I ever had!
Time to create a GreatestGen/Trek community!
r/greatestgen is still up and there's a thread from 4 days ago from the FoD Mastodon admin about setting up an FoD Lemmy. I pointed that OP here but it wouldn't be official Uxbridge-Shimoda social media unless its the Card Daddy as admin.
Oh man, we definitely need a Greatest Trek instance. Maybe a mod of speshial conshennce can make one for B&A to drop into.

Man I just love the content that is growing every day in these new forums ... nice work guys ... subscribed and will come back again and again.
I feel like we've rebelled against old alliances and we are restarting again in some far off outpost with minimal supplies but plenty of hope and enthusiasm.
I've cut my ties and I'm staying on this outpost with you all.
I was fumbling around Lemmy instances looking for a βhome baseβ, frustrated when I couldnβt find anything I liked. Then I found this one posted on the Lemmy subreddit and was immediately excited!
Hit it!
You are welcome!

And I am so happy to see that. I joined up yesterday
Hello, you're posting in it π
Will you be updating lemmy-ui and the backend to 0.17.4? They have major database performance improvements.

If any of the mods of those subreddits are here, can you reconsider permanently locking?
The communities on those subs took years to develop, and you're going to lose a lot of quality posts and discussion, since most people won't just move seamlessly to a new website. Beyond that, there are years of high quality posts that members of that community have made, which may not be utterly lost, but they will certainly be more inaccessible.
I'm pissed at the Reddit admins too, but I don't enjoy being forced onto some new site.
I'm writing with the context of the Twitter takeover by Elon Musk. I tried migrating to Mastodon (which seems analogous to Reddit/Lemmy). While I enjoyed not being on a site dominated by a person who, in addition to similar API price hikes, is racist and transphobic, many of the communities I value on Twitter never migrated. The result was that Mastodon was never an adequate replacement for the Twitter networks I was in. While I appreciate not giving money to a person I hate, I'm not eager to repeat that experience, especially because it seems like Reddit's breaches are more of a pure business decision, which I find somewhat palatable, even if I'm unhappy to be forced off the apps I previously used.
I definitely am not opposed to the existence of this website, and in time I imagine it may develop its own unique community that some people value more than Reddit. However, I enjoy having the option of both sites available.
Migrating the community to the fediverse safeguards it from ever needing to migrate again, due to the decentralized structure where nobody controls the content. As long as it's on a corporately owned service, profit incentives will harm content or even force a migration eventually. I think it's a bit selfish to push that inconvenience onto the future users when we have an excellent opportunity to do it now, for all Reddit communities, and be done with it forever.

Great of the mods to unilaterally decide for tens of thousands of users to lock and make inaccessible years and years of conversation. I'm sorry your fefes are hurt, but this "we had to destroy the village to save it" is some third-grade tantrum throwing bullshit.
Ah yes, because moving to a platform free from profiteering owners, an objective improvement to the community, is clearly just because fefes were hurt...
I would rather see a permanent freeze instead of private. Yes it helps Reddit slightly more than private subs, but there is years of discussion that could be kept while still making it obsolete and limiting reddit's income/users from it.
I prefer they stay private for now to direct users, and then once July 1 happens, they can re-open as restricted for a limited time.
You've just discovered the main problem with centralized platforms like Reddit, Discord, Twitter. The only thing stopping the mods from making a complete archive of the old platform is the Big Tech owners of Reddit. These corporate interests own all your posts, memes, and DMs, forever.
With federated platforms, the community leadership can easily backup, archive, or transfer everything whenever they like. That's the power of ownership.
Not only that, but copies of everything now exist on every single instance that's federated with startrek.website, so its potentially recoverable should something catastrophic happen.
And that's fine. The mods, or whomever, have every right to go off and form another community, and the participants have every right to follow. The mods DON'T have the right to make the decision for me, restrict the content that I posted to a site they do not own, or otherwise interfere with my right to enjoy the archival content that they did not create. Hopefully the Reddit ownership will force the afflicted communities open sooner rather than later and let us each decide individually, rather than be subject to the whims of some babies that think an entity doesn't have the right to manage it's own tech.

To boldly go
hey all! I see that /r/strangenewworlds is also going to remain in restricted mode indefinitely, would you perhaps reach out to the mods there, and see if they'd like to join the Federation? :-D

Clearly I'm living on another instance, but I'm wondering is startrek.website community creation is locked or not? Feels like all the different Trek sub-communities should be hosted here. Show specific ones like Lower Decks, things like Star Trek Online, etc. but so far it seems like its just the big 3.
There should be an Orville community there because the Orville is a Star Trek show.

I'm replying to a mastodon post, from a separate lemmy instance federated with startrek.website.
I'm living in the future.
What is this, the Mycelium Network?!

will this community also censure people whom talk about the remote possibility that the new star trek series might not be very good
There's literally a post in their front page about criticism with Disco S4 that's incredibly constructive.
The issue was never about criticism. The issue was lazy, nonconstructive criticism.
