Could you add more (all) languages in the settings for us to enable? I cannot see some posts because of this.

General Lemmy question, and apologies if this isn’t the place. I found a community I want to subscribe to. !buyitforlife@sh.itjust.works. Tried to search for it in various different ways, and kept getting no results. Used various formats and got nowhere. Eventually I navigated to startrek.website/c/buyitforlife@sh.itjust.works and found the community. I’ve now been able to subscribe to the community, but can’t see old posts.

Will I ever be able to? If I want to interact with older posts, am I SOL, or do I just need to be patient until older posts sync?

Why "startrek.website"? When the ".social" and ".news" TLD exist and seem more fitting?

Is there a way to get rid of the space on the left and right sides of the screen and make comments and posts cover the whole browser window like old Reddit does?

Is this instance currently taking new registrations? It might be good to get a PSA out…

I understand you’re running 17.4 so captcha can be used. My understanding was this was done because new signups are being allowed.

When I look at various aggregators of Lemmy instance information however, w keep seeing that startrek.website is closed to signup.

Take for example the information available through Lemmy - Fediverse Network Statistics posted on fedidb.org.

As there are a significant number of unhappy redditors just now who might wish to join Lemmy but are discouraged, it would be good to confirm.

I really appreciate the simple pathway that was offered for users on r/startrek back before the subs went dark June 12th. It was a successful migration for me mostly, but I understand that there’s a largish crowd of frustrated folks who haven’t made it through.

@Admin

I realize I'm kind of a PITA with my idiosyncrasies, but I'd like you to consider a way of taking 'one and done' donations. I tend to avoid recurring automated subscriptions.

There might be others like me, and you could pickup a couple dollars here and there from one-offs.

I don't have a lemmy acct anywhere at this point, but I like what you're doing, and I spend time here, so I'd like to support you without making a commitment.

Is there an LCARS theme for Lemmy? I saw another instance running the Voyager theme and it got me thinking...

@Admin@startrek.website Welcome to the fediverse!

Any way to add LCARS themes or other Trek themes for the layout? I've been really wanting a TOS Movie themed layout on Reddit and other sites in general for the longest time.

How do I load an avatar for myself? I've gone to Settings --> Avatar, clicked Upload Avatar and selected an image I saved. But then I get the error message, "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data." I don't know what that means. I'm guessing that I'm violating the parameters of naming an image, and/or maybe the image's size or type? The image I was going to use is a .jpg. My only Fediverse account is this one, on startrek.website.
