Dear Lemmy, **why** Star Trek?? - eviltoast

Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I’ve ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what’s the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

    Others have brought up other reasons, but one I haven’t seen is simply the depth of material to work with. Trek has had multiple multi-season series and tons of movies, which means you can basically find the right image for any meme if you watch enough of it.

        I’m in the middle of my fifth or sixth Voyager rewatch now, and I don’t even like Voyager that much. It’s the perfect sort of thing to watch as I drift off to sleep, and the quality really improves after Year of Hell.
