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?
I have absolutely 0 star trek content in my feed.
Wtf are you talking about?
I think there’s just a big fanbase here. I just ended up blocking the Star Trek communities; no hate towards them, but I don’t watch the show so it was needless clutter to me.
I started watching the show because of the Star Trek memes around here lol. Turns out I was a fan all along, who just never watched it before. Now I’ve watched TOS and TNG, I’m over halfway through Voyager and Lower Decks as well, and will probably start throwing in some DS9 soon. It’s good stuff, especially if you like sci-fi
Star Trek is a franchise about a bunch of nerds striving to find a “better way” to run society
Lemmy is a platform populated by a bunch of nerds striving to find a “better way” to run social media
Not surprising that there’s overlap
