I’m hoping this doesn’t start a fight, I’m just curious what the political orientation is of this community. I grew up in a liberal (in the American sense) family, and I identify now as a socialist, though a lot of the liberalism I grew up in has stuck with me, like interest in LGBTQ and women’s rights, environmentalism,...

Just looking for some recommendations because I’m in a sci fi mood. And btw, my favorite sci fi film is Planet of the Apes (original).

I have the series on DVD but I’ve never seriously cracked it, only seen a few episodes. Was wondering what people here think, is it as good as the internet often says it is? I know it was an inspiration for one of my favorite franchises (Mass Effect) and The Orville had a cute reference to it by making its main actor the...

Here’s a few examples:...

Bored tonight so wondering what the international composition is of this space. Im from Phoenix, Arizona. How about you?

Mine are The UrQuan Masters and Mass Effect (the original trilogy anyway) Havent played Starfield yet so wondering if that will measure up....

Thank you for everyone’s patience while we were migrating hosts . I know I said “a few hours” and it turned out to be over a day. Clearly I need to work on my Scotty estimates. During transport the team found a backlog of extremely low effort memes caught in the pattern buffer and we had to go through the copies one by one...

We’ve all heard Star Destroyer vs Enterprise D by now. Those are fine. Hearing the ones that are gonna be overpowered. That’s cool....

Hi! I hope this is the right place to post this, but I’m having trouble receiving the images from this instance on my home instance, this is what Risa looks like for me in the browser and in the app (I use liftoff). I’ve tried the suggestion in the FAQ of disabling adblock/adding a rule, but that doesn’t seem to solve...

So whats everyone watching on Thursday (nights) now that SNW has wrapped up? I’m looking for recommendations...

Hey there,...

I finished watching The Orville, it was a masterpiece from the hands of Seth Macfarlane....

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve been experiencing quite a bit of sluggishness and errors (failure to post, failure to mark as read, failure to fetch comments, etc), my feed seems to get stuck for long periods of time without updating, and any time I try to open my profile view, it can take a full minute (it might be...

This is probably old news to other people but I only just noticed this. Seems like a pretty interesting guy!

We’ll be testing out a monitoring tool that should help us identify/isolate minor outages as they arise....

So, I am confused by some things with this website, and as this is a “general” community, I thought Quarks would be the most likely to be the place to post it…...

I’m seeing a lot of blank images when looking at posts from startrek.website through Lemmy-UI, but when I look through Photon/Sync the images are there. It seems to only affect images uploaded directly to startrek.website instead of images uploaded to a separate website. Is there something I can do to fix this on my instance?...

I’ve been watching the last few days, what’s happening with the mod team here on startrek.website? All of a sudden it’s really locked down, and reading through the mod log there’s a lot of removals for small things. Are we not allowed to even make jokes here now?...
