This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Announcement to non-StarTrek.website users: on July 10th, c/Quarks will change to "locals only". Thanks to the Lemmy devs for this new feature!

The goal of c/Quarks has always been to help foster a sense of community for StarTrek.website, but it is just a generic “offtopic” community and does not really have an identity of it’s own on the Fediverse....

Admin,

Thanks, we do too!

I think she’s saying she’s upset we don’t remove enough content from other communities (federated with us but not originating) on this instance. Which is correct, the admins here generally leave content on other communities alone if they are actively moderated.

Ok nevermind she’s apparently saying /c/StarTrek and /c/Risa are “spam”?

The admin team doesn’t make instance decisions based on what’s “popular”. It’s actually against our mission statement. Though that doesn’t mean community input is ignored.

But that being said, admins can see who’s voting and we can see that the downvotes are not coming from users with much/any history in this community. So we are not taking their feedback strongly into account.

Admin,

I hear you, but “drawing folks into the fandom tent” was not what Quark’s (or the instance for that matter) was created for. Quark’s has always been “General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website.”.

That said, if you or anyone else wanted to create a community with that or a related stated purpose (and promised to grow and actively maintain it in line with instance values) I would be more than happy to entertain the idea. But you can’t have mine lol

Admin,

@ptz@dubvee.org Tagging you here because you’re basically the only other person who contributes to this community.

Admin,

Per instance guidelines, submitting on-topic content to relevant communities is not considered spam. But if you want to stay subscribed to /c/STO and block ValueSubtracted’s “spam” StarTrek.website has a block feature you can find on their userpage.

Admin,

The problem is nobody wants to grow and maintain a federated “Trek adjacent” community. I’ve even offered the opportunity to host one on this instance and nobody wants to put in the effort.

(Also, I just need to point out that Stamets was not “right” about anything involving our team. He claimed the Risa mods were “transphobic”, and set up a new community where he repeated the claims. When one of our Admins asked Stamets if he intended to continue, he cried harassment and used the attention to promote a GoFundMe.)

Admin,

Yeah I totally agree with pretty much everything you just said.

Admin,

This update should increase the thermal capacity of your takes by .05%

Admin, (edited )

This has been on our todo list for a while, but turned into a harder nut to crack than I initially assumed. Thanks for the additional info. I’ll comment here and make a new post when this gets sorted.

EDIT: It’s sorted

Admin,

old.startrek.website

It’s startrek.website but looks like the “old Reddit” UI

Also, it’s working again.

Admin,

Great!

Admin,

Good for them! I have said this before, but I would be more than happy to have a chat about providing hosting to M-A or at least offering them wiki.startrek.website (or whatever) assuming it’s sustainable of course.

Admin,

Good to know, thanks! I added it to the post.

Admin,

Is bureaucracy canon?

Admin,

Hm, I’ll take a look at that. I haven’t tried that app yet.

EDIT: Yes, looks like that’s a bug with Liftoff

Admin, (edited )

Way ahead of ya! Glad you got it working.

EDIT: You were ahead of me! OK

Admin,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I’ve done just that.

Admin, (edited )

I have no idea, but in defense of the devs, there’s a reason they are calling it version 0.19 and not 0.5 or “1.0” There’s a lot to do, but look at projects like Mastodon a year ago vs today and they’ve made some dramatic improvements in terms of polish and usability.

Personally I think it’s a good thing Lemmy isn’t more popular right now, because there’s no way it could absorb Reddit levels of users in a healthy way.

Admin,

Cheers

Admin,

You could always browse c/Risa via another instance through the miracle of federation 🌈lemmy.world/c/risa@startrek.website

Admin,

ok that gif is slightly misleading there were no exploding plasma conduits it was literally down for thirty seconds it didn’t even register on lemmy-status (thank you for letting us know)

Admin,

Smiling

Admin,

No Sir. Didn’t happen.

Admin,

Thank you (singular) for helping keep to keep this community vibrant!

Admin,

Thanks for the kind words, I was just throwing random ideas out there to get juices flowing about wiki potential.

Perhaps we should rename the instance to “Stamets’ no bloody A, B, C or D-tier meme emporium and other minor associated Star Trek communities”

Admin,

Nice find, do you want a wiki account with editing permissions?

Admin,

I’m into this idea! What would you guys need from us? I’ve opened registration for the wiki so you can make editor accounts, but the theming seems to be largely on the backend.

Admin,

I changed the wiki registration to open so please go ahead and do whatever (I will regret this won’t I?)

Admin,

I can’t look into this too deeply at the moment, but it looks like at least one person was able to make an account within the past hour. Maybe try the usual stuff (disable adblock, different browser, etc) for now and I can temporarily disable CAPTCHA for you later if needed.

Admin,

Great, welcome to The Website™

[support] Has anyone else been having trouble interacting with Lemmy off and on these past few days?

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve been experiencing quite a bit of sluggishness and errors (failure to post, failure to mark as read, failure to fetch comments, etc), my feed seems to get stuck for long periods of time without updating, and any time I try to open my profile view, it can take a full minute (it might be...

Admin,

The latest Lemmy update caused some weirdness with federation, it’s hard to pin down but we’re looking into it. Could be related to your issue.
