I’ve thought it would be nice to have a venue to discuss Trek comics, but I’ve always felt it would be weird to reference non-canon/dubiously canon stuff from a less popular medium in a main Star Trek thread.

Thus, I was wondering if this server has sufficient interest in such a thing to create a new community just for Star Trek comics.

We ran a regular comics discussion for a while, but there wasn’t a lot of engagement at the time.

My personal feeling is that I’d like to see more comics and Treklit discussion on c/startrek before splintering anything off into its own community, but I’m also very interested to hear what others think!

If there’s enough interest, I’m fully willing to start putting up the comics discussion posts again. The issue initially was I was almost always the only one sharing my thoughts about the books.

An added benefit of posting comics stuff to c/startrek is that those posts automatically receive a #startrek hashtag on Mastodon (some restrictions apply), so there’s a higher chance to get engagement from that platform.

I’m not against hosting a comics community, but it’s also not like /c/StarTrek is overflowing with OC and I’m sure the mods would be happy to have comics content (and you happier with their 10k users).

Maybe there could be a way to reach our label “Memory Beta”-belonging posts?

I think I agree with this, just in case someone wanted to discuss a novel as well.

I don’t know when it will actually be released, but I think the Lemmy devs are actively working on a post-tagging system. Once it’s in place, we will probably figure out how it might best be used in our communities.

If you build it, they will come.

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.
