To be honest, we’re actually a month over. The community opened at the beginning of January of 2024. I just totally forgot and didn’t notice! Only did now because I was grabbing the link to that callout post I made and realized that it was posted on February 14th, 2024.
In that year we’re averaging 1.2k viewers of the community per day! Adds up too considering we have 4.13k subscribers that have come together to put out 3.5k posts and 51k comments! Holy shit! That’s insane!
When I and the other mods decided to open this community together we had hoped it would become a popular place for people to relax and share a love of Star Trek. I think it is safe to say that none of us anticipated the size that it would turn out to be in such a short period of time.
You guys are the backbone of the community and the backbone of Lemmy in general. Dedicated as shit users who keep trucking and planting seeds in this fantastic garden. Congratulations. You’re all Boothby’s. Just as wise and as adorable. I love all you petaQs!
Thank you for all you do and the love you pour into the community. Best userbase anyone could ask for <3

I don’t know anything at all about the drama of how this place started, I just am happy that it did. I love how welcoming and friendly it is! Seriously, this type of community is what keeps people from leaving the at-times SUPER aggressive Lemmy. It’s a breath of fresh air.
This place to us is what coffee is to Janeway. ☕
Um, well, actually… Yeah! 👍
Not for long, Janeway just has this one, tiny little matter to take care of first…
Differences in moderation style is basically why it got started.
TenForward is pretty great for having a lot of fans who are chill. Some tend to get a bit hotheaded when it comes to their dislike of certain series and people who like it but thats probably the worst you’re gonna see on here. Pretty awesome, all things considered.
I’m glad that you’ve found a spot that you can enjoy <3
It’s not the “spot” - well it’s that as well - but mainly it’s the PEOPLE here who make it worthwhile to continue visiting and actively look forward to continuing to do so in the future. It’s a literal community in the best sense of the word.:-)
