    There is a good amount on Lemmy that I have seen.

    If you are active enough, you will start to see user names you recognize across major communities, as well as posts.

    I asked my mom and she didn’t really understand what Lemmy is but she assured me that I am the coolest person on here.

            100%. I was there from the original airing of the pilot episode through the last 22 years of multi-year breaks between seasons.

            LOL a couple years ago one of my closest friends who happens to be about the furthest away from me of any of them. Shot me a message asking me to guess who they were having lunch with. I had no idea. But it turned out that she had bumped into Lisa hammer and they had been hanging out a bit. They both live up in New York near the Bronx. I may have gotten some signed Triana swag out of the deal LOL

              I started during season 1 with my best friend at the time. It took me a bit to get into it, but once I was, I started back from the beginning and then it just got better every season.

              Trina episodes are great. The one with the double date is one of the best. The whole set of bathroom scenes are so hilarious!

                Yes would have been interesting to see if Tirana’s character got a little more development had Lisa and Doc not split. But she seems to be doing well and is enjoying her work in film out there in New York. So it’s all good.

                But yes the rogues gallery on that show was always one of my favorites personally. The Thin White Duke as the sovereign complete with a Klaus Nomi/Iggy pop cameo in the second season finale I think it was? And all the other absurd villains and heroes they just shucked out left and right. Not to mention 21 absurd story arc.

        Love you @Rolando@lemmy.world, but I spazzed out recently after a full year of pressing too hard for a ‘post per day,’ and I feel like I dishonored everyone here when I melted down recently. (I’m super-embarrassed)

        So I appreciate the mention, but regardless of how I embarrassed the community, I can’t aim for one scholarly post per day, anymore. I just can’t. Sorry about that, matey.

        Now I do plan to keep on posting as the mood seeks me, but I just CAN’T keep the community popular like this, all on my own. Even just a little bit of help would go far.

        Ugh, sorry for all the bitching and moaning. :S

          Don’t worry about it fam. Lemmy isn’t like a news broadcast, it’s more like a family dinner, it’s OK to go off on a rant every once in a while. And there’s no obligation to post every day, just post when you feel like it and where you feel like it. The fact is, you posted quality content a lot for a long time, and that’s commendable.

    Ada from Lemmy Blahaj Zone is quite infamous for the bad takes and arbitrary bans

      Ada is a strange one yeah. I remember them because instead of just generally deciding they didn’t want to federate with lemmynsfw, she accused the admins of lemmynsfw of allowing CSAM when that turned out to be from a confirmed adult model that just happened to have a smaller body, and when she found that out she doubled down. That’s such a weird take from a supposedly pro LGBTQ+ lemmy admin, considering that accepting of people of all shapes and sizes is a core tenet of being LGBTQ+.

        One time I posted a meme on Blahaj in which someone named Obvious_Troll@hexbear.net was attacking a trans person. Ada sent me a message about it saying I was attacking a real trans person. There is no real trans person named Obvious_Troll. I made up that username for the meme. Ada defended a fictional transphobic troll, because they were from Hexbear.

          I kinda get not starting shit with other instances (Although, Hexbear should be the last to be able to invoke that), and it is still her instance and her rules there. But yeah it would not make me happy to be part of a community under those rules. Being a safe space doesn’t mean you have to shield bad actors from criticism. Especially if she’s not going to be respectful to good actors. And it really is weird how she comes to some of her conclusions (How is a non-existing person trans, where did she learn this?) and then still wants the same response when that turns out to be wrong.

            This comment thread reminded me of a problematic trans group that is mentioned in the “Being phobic is sus: weeding out transphobic Facebook groups” Facebook group occasionally because that behaviour seems really similar

            I’ve forgotten the name of the group though and will edit my comment if I find the name again and haven’t forgotten about this comment

        Start with Strange New Worlds. It’s the best new Trek in 30 years. You can find it on the Bay or wherever you get your videos.

        If you aren’t hooked by the end of season 1, yeah it’s probably not for you.

          No start with “The Next Generation”, or “Star Trek: The Original Series” if you like older shows

          They are better, then move on to lower decks if you like comedy in a star trek setting then strange new worlds

          I’d also recommend star trek prodigy, it can be watched as a family

          Star trek picard season 1 and 3 are okay but depart from general star trek quality, season 2 is an absolute clusterfuck of awfulness that should be avoided and I have made my own headcannon that it was just another ones of q’s games where they messed with reality creating an awful fever dream of reality and bullshitted about themself dying just to mess with picard again just to fix that godawful season in my mind

          Thanks for that.

          I tried the first few episodes. I didn’t really like it, unfortunately.

              Sometimes yes, but definitely not with Trek.

              So I wasn’t into it originally, but watching it again as an adult I’m kinda fond of TNG. Cast is amazing, stories are (mostly) great. But I just love how mature and optimistic it is, for the most part.

              Seeing difficult questions of morality and strife - seeing people consistently confront those situations with incredible ethics, empathy, and like, well, ADULTS…it’s super-refreshing.

              And I like the parts of that which shone through into Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise (in that order, at least what I saw of them. I sorta got into Voyager.

              Watching Picard, a lot of the characters are there, but most of what I seem to like about TNG isn’t. Plus a bunch of the plot is just nonsense and crappily written. I really don’t like it.

              I tried watching some of DIS here and there but it fucking sucks (IMO). SNW still seems to have too much melodrama and stuff I just don’t like. Maybe if I wasn’t trying to compare it to TNG or VOY subconsciously, I would like it more; who knows.

              Orville is alright.

              Everyone says Lower Decks is really great, and I love Futurama and Venture Bros and Rick and Morty and etc. It probably IS great. But I don’t really want throwaways about how phasers can’t melt steel beams and fart jokes in Trek.

              Guess I’m just picky :)

                TNG is my favorite too. I think Lower Decks really walks the fine line of being a little bit silly but still being serious enough to feel like core trek.

    Special shoutout to @ickplant@lemmy.world who’s on point with the opossum memes.

    @Stamets@lemmy.world is quite famous in the Lemmy Startrek Lore, but less active lately probably due to big real-life changes happening, I wish them well.

      The big changes are mostly just that I work new hours which are weird for lemmy posting. I’ve been trying to find a way to get back into it more easily. I do miss posting so much :(

      Can’t say it’s not weird as shit though to think that that I’m even slightly “famous”

        it’s probably best not to force it. Early in the Reddit migration, frequent posting kept people coming back, but you don’t want to turn it into “your” communities. Shifting to quality over quantity is never a bad move either :)

        No problem and glad to hear you’re still around! You were there with the memes and shitposts when Lemmy needed it most, I think that deserves recognition. Keep taking things at a pace you feel comfortable with, your life comes first.

      I dislike stamets because they responded to me in a toxic, rude, abrasive and above others attitude when I disagreed with them on their stance that spirituality and religon (which are seperate things) should be banned in the future entirely, it was related to start trek discussion

      I disagree with that because I beleive people should have freedom to practice their religous beleifs or spiritual beleifs as long as they are not harming others

      The harming of others should definitely be dealt with if someone does decide to harm others based on their beleifs but many people practice spiritual or religous beleifs without harming others

        (Edit: Misclicked reply) the attitude part is pretty common for Lemmy users: passionate, with strong views enough to migrate away from the mainstream. You are free to dislike Stamets or anyone else. It’s still important to understand that nobody’s perfect, no need to have one’s flaws be used to tank the good accomplishments they’ve done for the platform.
