Please understand: I mean this in a very, very loving way. Lemmy has so much content and so many references that I do not understand but it’s awesome seeing all these passionate communities outside of my usual circles.

All the star trek memes convinced me to start a star trek watch through. Didn't realize there were so many dang episodes, its gonna take a while.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 57 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Almost 60 years worth at this point. Hope you enjoy the journey!

I most certainly am going to, I've watched alot of random episodes from multiple different series, but my partner has only watched a few with captain janeway. We just finished part 1 of the menagerie, honestly wish we had skipped the original pilot so the episode would hit harder for her, but it is what it is.

What a great episode though. I just finished a rewatch of TOS a few weeks ago, and I love it so much.

Likewise. I downloaded what's supposed to be every episode. I don't know how I'm going to find the time to watch all this. Very intimidating.

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Holy shit i just googled it and there are 903 episodes including the movies...

[–] henfredemars 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It took me like a week to download what I think is all of them from a decent cable connection. I do intend to watch this but it's going to take me like a year given that I have a job.

However, I'm very privileged in a sense. I get to watch them for the first time. How many fans would love to rewatch episodes for the first time?

Every night I look forward to new adventures on whatever Star Trek series that I've come to.

If I fall a sleep during an episode, I blame the episode, and I haven't regretted cutting them short like that. The good ones will be worth it and most of the bad ones too, but when the android character is playing a theater part of Sherlock Holmes on the holodeck and I'm supposed to give a shit? No.

With startrek.website we'd hoped creating a Star Trek themed instance might encourage other ex-moderators to start topic-specific instances too, and it would kick off a flourishing of myriad communities run by devoted moderators, a Lemmyverse so diverse and inspiring that not even Reddit could further justify it's own existence in the presence of such an obviously superior system.

Instead it turned out "Star Trek and Linux" was enough to satisfy nearly everyone's tastes (both subtle and gross).

Arch...? You mean Jonathan Archer. I understood this Star Trek reference.

[–] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago

Errrrrr... Exactly!

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean… I could use Jonathan Archer.

This meme got the LW logo to represent Lemmy. We can understand why there is no more :-(

But in reality, there is dbzer0, blahaj, slrpnk, and more too

[–] n0clue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All of those sound like sketchy porn sites...

I've been enjoying ttrpg.network but hopefully more rpg nerds come to this instance in time.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nerds have always been easy to please.

[–] Buffaloaf@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bull. Shit. Have you never seen a debate on Star Wars or comic book characters?

It kinda sucks if you don't use Linux and don't watch Star Trek though :/

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 years ago

Well, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I once told Lemmy users that I liked MacOS. I still haven’t recovered from the beating.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lmao. I don't really care what OS people use. I'm not really passionate about any OS. I just use it as a medium to do things I enjoy so I'm really not interested in any OS talk about any operating system. I use all 3 OS daily pretty much (Linux, Mac and Windows).

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It's a personal choice and it doesn't really matter much.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Start watched TNG, I used to get an episode or 2 between work and gym and it was bliss. Wish I could watch it again for the first time.

The rest hasn't been as good, some highlights but nothing grabs me nearly as much.

I watch star trek but don't use Linux as a primary operating system due to it not meeting specific requirements of mine

Lemmy. The final frontier.

These are the forums of the Lemmy communities.

Its continuing mission to explore strange new posts. To seek out new memes and new discussions.

To boldly go where no social media has gone before.

We just need Monty Python and hitchhikers guide and we're golden

And more C A T P I C T U R E S

The true foundation of any internet community.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All 3 are leftist, based on rejecting individual ownership, and related to FOSS (tangentially in Star Trek's case), and all 3 are nerdy as hell. They have a lot in common under the hood.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

based on rejecting individual ownership

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

that and communists, a lot of communists.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And not always the chill “I live on a commune and make shirts out of hemp” communists. We’re talking about the “let’s have an armed revolution” communists.

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

and "if you don't boycot everything remotely connected to right-wingers you're a nazi" has happened to me more than once.

in the german communities you're also very likely to be heavily insulted if you express your enhusiasm for cars, letalone trying to explain why we can't switch everyone over to either public transportation or EVs.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And nobody mentioned beans?

You can't have Lemmy without at least one reference to beans!

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah and also that time mizu wanted to skip pooping for 3 days

Hey now, that's unfair. It's Star Trek references, Linux memes, and disingenuous leftist in-fighting!

Hey uhhhh you know Battletech and Warhammer are both pretty cool. They’re kinda like Star Trek (except the opposite).

Anyways.

!battletech@lemmy.world

!warhammer40k@lemmy.world

[–] TheDeepState@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is truest thing I’ve seen on Lemmy.
