/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I feel like this is a huge problem with Lemmy. All that talk about federation and decentralization and every guide out there for getting started is just like "just register with lemmy.world and don't worry about it". THE WHOLE FREAKING POINT is to avoid one single instance having an outsized influence on the network as a whole.
But choosing an instance to sign up with is such a huge hassle and also kind of a crapshoot. Even if you pick one that seems like a good place to be, it's highly likely the admins will either burn out quickly or just not do their job, and suddenly you're defederated because your instance is full of CSAM. Or they're actually just pieces of shit to begin with.
Fortunately, it seems like I found a decent instance for now. Lemmy.zip has more than one admin, so the burden isn't all on one person, and the main person running it seems to be just a real chill dude. I really hope it lasts.
For quite a while there, Lemmy.world was the only one that handled the reddit apicolypse rush and stayed up reliably. So it became the defacto funnel point to the Fediverse.
Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml were tankie cesspits, Beehaw were too busy sniffing their own farts yo approve registrations, Lemmy.ca gave the impression they were a Canadians-only, eh instance and a pile of others were yet to come on line or be stable. So thats where we are.
There'll be another migration wave and may be there will be more diversification in this one.
There needs to be a profile export/import functionality
Yeah on 0.19 version

OP you said the quiet part out loud. We aren’t supposed to bring this up because it’s apparently a very touchy subject.
Wait, are you me? That’s my exact experience! But now I’m on lemmy rather than kbin I can use Voyager on my phone, and I’m getting warm and fuzzy Apollo feelings! So maybe I’ll stay…
I lost track of Voyager development, how do you like it so far? I'm getting tired of using the browser on my phone.
Voyager is great and it’s not even an app. Definitely made the transition from Apollo friendlier for me.
I lost track of Voyager development, how do you like it so far?
Better than the web interface for kbin.social that I’ve been using for the last few months.
It really does feel very Apollo, if that’s a useful reference for you.
I’m not exactly a power user though, so I can’t promise it’s good for everyone. But hey, it’s free. Give it a go, see how you get on with it. You don’t have to keep it if you don’t want to…

Hey, glad you're happy with us ❤️
The infra team tries hard to keep the lights on. 🤓
Thanks, glad to be here!
I can tell, outages seem rare and your instance's latency is pretty low (esp compared with others). Props to your DevOps/infra team, everything appears to be solid and reliable.
Its not so bad we got wordle.
Which one is dead and should we block it?
The main Kbin instance, https://kbin.social. I don't think it warrants a block just yet, but it could become a real problem if the spam in its communities doesn't get under control (i.e. - new mods get added to handle it, for starters). Some communities have been getting hit by spam posters for weeks without end.
There's just one guy running the whole thing. It sucks because it's a good place with good people and the owner is a nice guy, but the lack of administration & communication is killing it.
This is both the blessing and curse of truly decentralised and people run technology. The "business case" for it is extremely minimal, so people get bored and just start drifting away.
It's not malicious, it's just how people are.
Trying to find the few diamonds in the rough to keep everything going and put in the effort is like trying to win the lottery.
Even with my home lab services I use constantly, it's a chore to keep them updated and bug* free.
Oof. Yeah that's where I started. When it had problems a few months ago I found a second instance. Seems like it's still in it's growing pains.
This is both the blessing and curse of truly decentralised and people run technology.
Agreed. It's also a strength, as the Fediverse's independent operation model allows us to stay somewhat connected even if an instance goes down. I hope everything is all right over there in ernest's world, he was already burning out before and it looks like it might be happening again.
FWIW kbin seems to be back up today. I usually assume when it goes down for long stretches like yesterday that some server maintenance/upgrade is going on, though I do wish the messaging around that was a bit better.
Any way to bring comments from one home to another? KBIN being down annoyed me enough that I spun up a lemmy.world account but I'm curious if there's any may to mirror the things I've posted...
I don't remember anything more than this, but I do remember seeing posts about transfer tools. So do some digging and you may find what you need.
I suspect the answer is no. I know I wasn't able to transfer comments from my prior Lemmy account to this one. I was able to use Sync for Lemmy to transfer my communities, but that was it.
Nice to have you here :) We try our best to be stable and have active moderators!
Thank you, good to be here and nice to meet you! Yeah, everything is solid all around. I know how challenging it can be to maintain, so kudos to you and your team!
Overrun with spam? I don't see any, and I'm on here all day every day.
There are several communities like https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/newest that are riddled with prescription drug and direct links to pirated content. It has died down recently and it looks like someone or something* has been pruning them, but there's still several links that haven't been scrubbed. I mean, I'm just speculating about who/what is cleaning up, because there's been no administrative communication about...well, anything lately.
I mean, I love the guy, he has been nothing but kind to the userbase, but he's spread himself way too thin and the cracks are really starting to show. There's no oversight, and that is bad. Because some dumbfuck is gonna post something really stupid one of these days, and that instance is gonna get a lot of attention for all the wrong reasons.

Welcome! 😎
I'm always hearing about drama and idk I've been having a killer time at sh.itjust.works. practically get no spam
It's probably a silly question, but how exactly does one join lemmy.world? I tried making an account here yesterday, got the mail to confirm my email address, confirmed it, and now... nothing. Can't login with the credentials i made, if i do recover password, it says my email address it sent the confirmation mail to is unknown. Or do i just need to wait longer until some admin approves my account?
