I’ve noticed a number of memes already popping on this community. One thing I always valued about Reddit was that the larger communities were often able to clearly delineate which spaces were for different types of content, and I’d hate for that to get lost in the move to the Fediverse.

Could I suggest that, while people are still getting used to the new home of the communities that used to exist in the Star Trek subreddits, it might be helpful to distinguish between them with a simple sticky post on each community?

e.g. Something along the lines of:

!StarTrek is for Star Trek news and discussion.

!DaystromInstitute is for serious, in-depth discussion.

!Risa is for memes and shitposts.

Please help the mods by picking the right community to post in, and live long and prosper!

This would also have the benefit of continually publicising the existence of the smaller DaystromInstitute and Risa communities.

    I keep seeing people saying that there can be connections between kbin and Lemmy to Mastodon but I can’t figure it out.

    Also I haven’t figured out the way to connect startrek.website to kbin either

      Hello from kbin! I just subscribed from my own kbin instance so there seems to be no issues with cross-compatibility. I subscribed to [email protected] by searching for it and now the posts show up in my own kbin instance. :)

      Just go to /m/[email protected] on your kbin instance.

      For Mastodon, the community shows up as a user, so you probably want to follow @startrek.

      You basically treat it like a subreddit, with an extra bit at the end saying which site the community is on.

      Otherwise, they’re usually intercompatible enough you can get away with replying to them without any unnecessary faff.
