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

Edit: and kudos to the mod team for all you guys do!
You absolutely are, good Sir. Kudos to all that YOU do man! Thank you for absolutely everything <3
I only pretend to know what’s going on around here
I’m just glad to be part of it. This community is amazing. You all really make it worth sticking around.
I don’t know about you guys, but…
You know what that means, don’t you…? Time to press ALL the buttons!?;?;!!!
Oh ahem, cough, I mean press them in the dignified, reserved, totally calm Star Trek style… of course that’s what I meant, yeah…
Ok you convinced me. I will rewatch all of Lower Decks next instead of Voyager.
You must watch them both!
Needs some (
Edit:
I wish PieFed had a Preview feature - it is so much better than Lemmy in so many ways, yet so much worse than others…
Anyway I already ninja edited it, so uh… what could you possibly be talking about there…? 😉
Also, don’t let this… distract you or anything like that!
Edit, in response to your own edit:
What was I talking about again? Ah, fuggedaboudit.
(Edit: she must just be a simple tailor…?)
We… Ah… What?
As long as you are doing that Boimler booty shake, I’ll accept.
Yes… “Boimler”… right…
Or Riker if that’s someone’s thang:
Wait… what were we talking about again?
I’m not a huge Trekkie, but I dig the vibe
Thanks for being a place to avoid the real world and its politics. it’s much appreciated, truly.
The real world and its politics
I’ve got memes to post.
Edit: this might not have enough filters. Should some red-eye be added in there?
A dash of oil paint
But the cake was chocolate….
In most of those instances, the cake was a Troi.
You’re all Boothby’s.
You have no idea how true that is 😆
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.:-)
Happy birthday! Thank you mods and posters!
Hey guys, what’s Star Trek? I’ve heard about it before I think. Is it the one with Baby Yoda?
I am revoking your modship
Mod Ship? Is that like an X-wing?
It’s crazy to think about, really. Thanks for giving us the soace here! I think the Trek community was absolutely the most successful move from Reddit. I’ve now made enough stuff to post here that I genuinely am out of ideas lol. As an aside, the PeerTube instance I’ve uploaded quite a few edits to is back, and they should be available again.
It’s a beautiful place full of beautiful people.
Thank you mods for building this space and thanks to everyone for being here … it’s my favorite place on the internet.
…in the best way possible!
This is a great community. Happy birthday! Oh, and…
