Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I for one am having a lot of fun in this place. Small communities which are growing and changing are the most fun. The distributed nature of this platform means that I bet we all have a lot to share with each other.

Other Communities

I game a lot and so far of all the gaming communities I've found, the one at Beehaw is my favorite. In one month I think I've discovered more interesting indie games there than I did for the entire past year on Reddit.

I also run a few home servers mostly for Plex and home automation so I've been digging the Self Hosted community over at Lemmy.world. It seems just as knowledgeable if not more so than the equivalent communities I left behind.

Apps

As a former Apollo addict, thank god Voyager exists. I've been dabbling with Memmy as well, but Voyager just goes right down my existing dopamine pathways and I keep coming back to it. Didn't like Mlem at all, which is unfortunate since the name and icon are great.

What have you found out there?

[email protected] is a good one to keep an eye on, if you're interested in finding niche communities.

Also, https://sub.rehab/ is one of several sites tracking the Reddit migration.

I use the Lemmy Community Browser a lot, but its search engine is overly fussy.

As an example, ‘Star Trek‘ won’t get you our main community if your IOS predictive keyboard adds a ‘ ‘ space after you type a recognizable word.
