Now I wanna get into the trek part since I'm already queer and on Lemmy.

check out Ten Forward (trek shitposting)

If you want to watch some of the series, out of the new ones Strange New Worlds is really great. Discovery's OK too but for my tastes it's a bit too Super Serious all the time, and the queer representation has a bit of a "bury your gays" tendency to it, where Strange New Worlds is more lighthearted and more like the older series, and queer characters aren't quite as on-the-nose. The animated series Lower Decks is great but half the jokes are Trekkie in-jokes and it might be more fun if you're already "in", so to speak.

The original series from the 60's is a bit campy and might not be the best place to start (unless you're a fan of camp!). The Next Generation from the early 90's starts off pretty campy too but gets better over time and is where the screencap in this meme came from. Deep Space 9 that came out later in the 90's is my personal favorite even though I only really got into it just a few years ago.

Out of the movies the ones made in the 2000s are all frankly a bit blah, but I love the older ones even though some of them objectively weren't all that great (I just get all nostalgic watching them so I can't help but love them.)

In Yurop you can watch Trek stuff on SkyShowtime at least, and I think US folks can watch them through Paramount's own streaming service. Dunno about the rest of the world unfortunately. Of course hoisting the Jolly Roger is also a perfectly fine option.

I actually thought this was the trek shitposting community. (ten forward?)

edit: now that I saw what /c this is actually in, i finally realized what it was trying to say. I was so confused.

I’ve noticed that a lot of communities are turning to Star Trek shitposting communities lately, lol

I kinda like it

Edit: all except !startrek@startrek.website, lol

It feels like 50% of Lemmy users are queer Trekkies, I just love it. I have found my tribe.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago

I'm having a similar experience. I've found my people. Lemmy is mostly lefty, mostly trekky, mostly queer. I love it.

I also feel less standout-y, which for some might be disappointing, but I'm melting into the background here, and its fucking lovely.
