nuqneH!
Welcome to our new home in the Federationiverse. First of all- WOW we did not expect to surpass 300 users on this instance (and over 1K fediverse subscribers) within our first 48 hours and with little promotional effort. We are all excited to see where this long road goes.
Coming from Reddit and confused about Lemmy?
I had some stuff typed out, but honestly, this thread sums it up better. Check it out! It has infographics.
If youâre still stressed out, remember that Lemmy is still new. Yes, itâs ugly, but people said Reddit was ugly too (both are correct). As Lemmy grows, and #Rexxit continues, more tools will get made. Decentralization opens up a lot of possibilities we didnât have before. The future is bright.
Will other communities be setting up shop besides StarTrek, DaystromInstitute and Risa?
Yes! Eventually. Right now our focus is staying online, fast, and reliable which means keeping things focused while we find our footing. Daystrom, StarTrek and Risa were chosen to start off with because the three of them cover the âsrs bsns â shitpostingâ spread quite well.
If you are part of a community interested in being hosted on startrek.website, send me a DM and we can try to work something out.
Qaplaâ! How can I support?
Weâve started a Patreon here: Patreon.com/treksite. Thereâs only one plan and itâs just $4. If our growth continues like it has, weâre going to need to upgrade our hosting very soon.
Whatâs up with the âunencrypted DMsâ warning?
I feel like Iâm not seeing everything. What gives?
Lemmy is weird with languages. In your user settings, make sure âLanguageâ is set to both âEnglishâ and âUndeterminedâ. You can select additional languages as well, but they arenât currently allowed on this server. On desktop, you can use CTRL+click to select both options. This will allow you to see content for which the author has not set a language, and content which has been set to âEnglishâ.
This will hopefully be made more clear with future updates.
Thumbnails acting weird/not showing up (for users on another instance)?
Add this exception to your adblocker (replace âlemmy.worldâ with your instance):
@@||*/pictrs/*$domain=lemmy.world
Where can I find official server updates?
Follow us on Mastodon for updates, scheduled maintenance, etc.
Where can I talk with Trekkies about non-Trek stuff?
Weâve just opened a new âofftopicâ community, welcome to !quarks@startrek.website, Quarks is fun!
If you have any questions for the team, please donât hesitate to ask in this thread! đ
I donât know if itâs affecting other instances, but all images from startrek.website are denying referrals to image links from lemmy.sdf.org. In other words, all image posts show up as broken unless I open them in a new tab and refresh so the referrer becomes startrek.website. Itâs not affecting any of my other subbed instances, and when I open startrek.website it works fine, so I suppose somethingâs breaking in the in-between?
Itâs a ublock/easylist issue. It seems to be blanket blocking xhr requests to certain TLDs including .website
Add this to your filters as a workaround for now (replace lemm.ee with your instance)
