We're pleased to announce that we have a new community on the instance - c/GreatestGen!

This community is geared toward fans of the Greatest Generation and Greatest Trek podcasts, perhaps better known as the Friends of DeSoto. If that's you, feel free to stop by!

Original post

I kinda realized this isn't Reddit, so as long as things stay polite and organized there's no reason us Admins need to gatekeep the wiki. We're paying for it, might as well let people use it right? Anyone with a valid can register as an editor.

Ideally we'd like our wiki to serve as a sort of fan-resource hub and on-boarding for newbies (both Trek and Lemmy/fediverse), but feel free to make anything there your heart desires (the Admin team reserves the right to keep things tidy).

Also, the permission system around Bookstack (our wiki software) is a little complex so if you're running into a permissions issue, don't hesitate to reach out to @williams_482@startrek.website, @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website or myself so we can get it sorted.

I have a very hard time reconciling contemporary european tendens to right wing to my own moral compass. How do you guys (if feeling the same) deal with it? If you feel different , i would also like to hear your thoughts.

ive never quite enjoyed the term fediverse. i realized recently ive been utilizing 'fediverse' and 'federation' interchangeably to the point i made a thing, and didnt notice until after i posted it

so, can i do that or am i gunna get spanked by le pedants for being a moron?

Titmouse, Inc. is, of course, the animation studio that produces "Lower Decks".

The film has been partially de-Zaslav'd.

We'll be testing out a monitoring tool that should help us identify/isolate minor outages as they arise.

Sometimes it's hard to tell when a crash/loading situation is on our end, or a temporary slowdown (usually caused by a spike of fediverse activity), or just general Lemmy-is-still-pretty-new weirdness and this should help us stay on top of it more quickly.

Appreciate those of you who have been alerting us on Mastodon when you're seeing an error!

Holodeck Heart is a Seattle and Portland based Indie-Queer-Star-Trek-Fan-Fiction Band led by the Queer/Trans duo Angeline (Fear Kittens, Vegan Seagull) and LeRok (The Waltz Invention, Lesbian Lover Duo aka BiSexual Boyfriend).

It still has to be ratified, but it sounds like everyone's going to get back to work.

Goals for this wiki:

To serve as a hub and bridge for fans to find and connect with online resources of the broader Trek fandom and Fediverse. Think: stuff that's not a good fit for Memory Alpha or Wikipedia.

Some cool pages:

• Instance Mission Statement (new! 👀)
• Archive of c/StarTrek's episode discussion threads (includes old Reddit threads and USSBurritoTruck's "Canon Connections" too!)
• Social Media accounts of Trek actors (needs help expanding!)
• c/StarTrek's "where do I start?" guide for Trek babies.

Want to contribute?

We're accepting pitches for community resources that people may want to contribute. Here are examples of sorts of things we're looking for, but we're open to any idea, it doesn't even need to be about Star Trek!

• Guide to the best LGBT episodes
• Other good Star Trek websites (Ex Astris, TrekMovie, etc)
• Where to stream Trek
• S-tier blank Trek meme templates

If you'd like a page of your own, or want help expanding/maintain existing pages, comment here or message an admin with your idea and we can get you set up with a Wiki account. Cheers!
