No worries, we’ll figure out how this works someday.
Does this mean I’m an ensign again?
Genuinely so happy to find Daystrom here. Probably one of my favourite subs.
Thanks for starting this! I found another Daystrom Institute on here but it seems dead. Looking forward to all the great discussion!
I’m still trying to figure out how an arrogant scientist whose creation killed over 450 Starfleet crew members on two starships and then went insane himself got a prominent technological institute named after him.
Yeah, well, other than that he was great!
Thanks for making this place. And sorry for the flak yer getting on Reddit, it sucks. I lurked there for a long time & just want ye to know I get the hard work that goes into the content & keeping it well run that makes lurking possible & enjoyable.
It’s mad to me seeing the difference in support on old daystrom vs say what the mods of r/worldbuilding are experiencing (still a few loud voices but much more supportive overall).
Some (okay, quite a lot) of that pushback seems really weird to me. There’s so many people pontificating about the “convenience” of Reddit, and having access to every community on the same platform… somehow failing to realize that an Internet browser is, itself, a single platform that can access everything and that clicking on a specific sub from a website’s drop-down menu is functionally no different from clicking a bookmarked webpage from a browser’s drop-down menu.
I think folks are just scared of change and upset at the (minimal) inconvenience of having to set up a new account elsewhere.
It doesn’t take long to find communities with the Lemmy Community-Browser.
Yes, it would be easier if we could just join from the sidebars without having to copy to your own instance’s search page. But once you’ve subscribed, it’s fairly seamless and avoids an algorithm pushing subs at you.
Pleased to be here with you all! I’m a Daystrom lurker and lunchtime at work would be awful without all the insightful posts to read.
Glad this sub will survive! Although I’m a bit sad to lose my flair, I just got promoted to Jr Lieutenant.
Excited to see you guys on the Lemmyverse! The subreddit was always one of those places I could get lost in for hours. Now I can do it here!
