/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.

@[email protected] for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

Are we keeping/wanting TenForward as "just" a ST meme comm, or do you guys want articles/video type content as well?

As far as non-.ml ST comms go, I feel like TF is the most active and the articles I have posted here have had some moderate uptake, is that something I should post more of here or should I direct those to more "formal" ST comms like [email protected]?

This community is technically for any/all Trek related content. Memes do account for the vast majority.

There is https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected], which is only for articles/discussions (but not memes). That comm has about 1.3k subscribers (compared to 4.2k here). That community doesn't see a huge amount of posts. More would be nice.

I'd say post here and crosspost there, and get slightly different audiences/vibes. See how it goes.

At this point I'm starting to think maybe we should just merge the two.

I'd like all forms of content. Memes, jokes, news, articles, discussions, etc.

I like both but I'm more likely to comment actively on ones that fit the general tone of TF. Like an article about how O'Brien is a bad-ass fascist fighter and union man is one I'll engage with until the Morns come home.

Looking at the „about“ section, I don‘t see why not.

Personally I like a bit of diversity in the type of content. While I like memes, the stuff, that keeps me reading has to go deeper into a topic.

I just want the memes. Solid block of memes, 500 meters high and wide.
