Welcome to Daystrom Institute!
Serious, in-depth discussion about Star Trek from both in-universe and real world perspectives.
Read more about how to comment at Daystrom.
1. Explain your reasoning
All threads and comments submitted to the Daystrom Institute must contain an explanation of the reasoning put forth.
2. No whinging, jokes, memes, and other shallow content.
This entire community has a “serious tag” on it. Shitposts are encouraged in Risa.
3. Be diplomatic.
Participate in a courteous, objective, and open-minded fashion. Be nice to other posters and the people who make Star Trek. Disagree respectfully and don’t gatekeep.
4. Assume good faith.
Assume good faith. Give other posters the benefit of the doubt, but report them if you genuinely believe they are trolling. Don’t whine about “politics.”
5. Tag spoilers.
Historically Daystrom has not had a spoiler policy, so you may encounter untagged spoilers here. Ultimately, avoiding online discussion until you are caught up is the only certain way to avoid spoilers.
6. Stay on-topic.
Threads must discuss Star Trek. Comments must discuss the topic raised in the original post.
The /r/DaystromInstitute wiki held a number of popular Star Trek watch guides. We have rehosted them here:
The subreddits have reopened for now, but I do hope the Lemmy version will stay alive too.
Has reddit done anything to make anyone feel less crappy about what they’ve done?
@forgottrek @daystrominstitute @startrek I've been trying to help the members of r/greatestgen find places in the Fediverse to hopefully increase that. Given the reddit drama going on
Is there a dedicated greatestgen community here? The only way I could find you people is by searching for “desoto”😂
@largorithm There isn't a dedicated Lemmy community, though there's talk of it at startrek.website Lemmy.
Ironically, what you found with your search was the FoD Mastodon at https://friendsofdesoto.social
Because of the Fediverse all these apps are interconnected.
Wild. So, what is the difference between viewing via mastadon va Lemmy then? Can both access and interact with all the same content? The formats definitely feel different, and there are different interface options…
When someone replies via Masto to a lemmy/kbin post, there will be mentions in there. Like is common on Masto.
And the lemmy/kbin channel is shown as having retootet the messages, when you follow one from Masto.
Imagine you follow a reddit channel from Twitter. It works but you can see where it's glued together. For example I cannot downvote via Masto. (Which might be a bonus.)
@holothuroid @largorithm
If you're curious what this conversation looks like from our side it's a bit like this:
I don’t think it came through?
@forgottrek @daystrominstitute @startrek I see no problems with that. Better than ”Cats.”
@Anglophyl @daystrominstitute @startrek of course not, this is primarily a star trek account afterall
