As others have said, Federation.

I expect it was a random first arrival bias.

It's popular, very memeable, has a long history, and most importantly: there's 2-3 series of it running right now. So it's topical and being engaged with.

This is actually something i also noticed when i switched to lemmy from reddit. In reddit its all star wars and here its all star trek. I lean more in the star trek direction so im happy here

Other sci-fi series? What "other sci-fi series"?

EDIT: I wasn't asking for recommendations, and honestly nothing you can offer will measure up to the glory that is Star trek. Soz all, LLAP 🖖

It's only logical.

Because that community decided to leave and start a place here when things blew up. Other communities didn't. They're active, so people hang out there. There's a fairly low barrier to entry for new folks to participate (a lot of people have watched some Star Trek).

Really, having an active community say, we're leaving and setting up shop here goes a long way. I wish my niche subreddit had done so as well.

You do understand the entire structure of this Network is based on Star Trek, right?

Lemmy was built by and for people who like Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism morality plays.

What do you mean "no other scifi series"? Muad'Dib Muad'Dib Muad'Dib

I haven’t seen a single Star Trek movie and yet I find it more entertaining and hilariously funny at times.

I also prefer it to the incessant cringy cheesy Star Wars memes I would see elsewhere.

question 2: how to join
