why is like 30% of the content on Lemmy star trek related? is it just a side effect of the particular communities I'm in or is it an actual platform-wide thing?

I think there's just a big fanbase here. I just ended up blocking the Star Trek communities; no hate towards them, but I don't watch the show so it was needless clutter to me.

I started watching the show because of the Star Trek memes around here lol. Turns out I was a fan all along, who just never watched it before. Now I've watched TOS and TNG, I'm over halfway through Voyager and Lower Decks as well, and will probably start throwing in some DS9 soon. It's good stuff, especially if you like sci-fi

Watching Lower Decks before DS9 and ENT is a bold move. ;)

i've been watching LD as it comes out but only recently finished ENT and there have already been a few jokes i would have missed otherwise this season. i'm honestly glad because once i finish VOY i'll have an excuse to tear through LD again
