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?
It’s almost as if lemmy itself is a United Federation of Servers 🤔
you’re posting this on literally the federation
Star Trek is popular among left-wing turbonerds, aka Lemmys primary demographic. There was also a big push to join Lemmy on r/StarTrek after Reddits API controversy.
I wish I saw that much Star Trek content.
Block Linux and pervy anime and you’ll see a lot more star trek.
I would also like more pervy anime.
Guys, am I doing Lemmy wrong?
If you like pervy anime, star trek and speak German you’re home.
What about pervy Linux?
Hey, watch it buddy
That’s what I signed up for.
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
Watching Lower Decks before DS9 and ENT is a bold move. ;)
i’ve been watching LD as it comes out but only recently finished ENT and there have already been a few jokes i would have missed otherwise this season. i’m honestly glad because once i finish VOY i’ll have an excuse to tear through LD again
something, something, Federation …
I was just thinking there isn’t enough Star Trek.
It’s one of my favourite organic Lemmy things
Use the voyager app or webapp. You can block communities and keywords.
I do block communities and keywords, but like i said there is a lot of star trek content in non-star trek comms as well, and the keywords thing doesn’t help if the post’s image is the only thing that mentions star trek.
the tribbles are taking over, there’s way more of them than there is of us.
You’re surprised at the large concentration of nerds here?
What? I don’t remember ever before seeing anything about Star Trek on Lemmy. Then again I only look at things I am subscribed to normally.
These kinds of “why is there so much content about $topic on $platform” questions always have the same answer: we have no idea why you are getting exposed to whatever you’re getting exposed to.
Because socialism and this platform is not skewed towards the centre-right/fascism
