Thanks for making this place. And sorry for the flak yer getting on Reddit, it sucks. I lurked there for a long time & just want ye to know I get the hard work that goes into the content & keeping it well run that makes lurking possible & enjoyable.

It’s mad to me seeing the difference in support on old daystrom vs say what the mods of r/worldbuilding are experiencing (still a few loud voices but much more supportive overall).

Well… I was wondering which Lemmy instance to create my “Algernon_Asimov” account on. Thanks for solving that dilemma!

👋

Not really sure what I’m doing, but as I’ve seen some sub branching out over here, finally pulled the trigger and made an account. We’ll see how this goes.

Pulling the trigger as well. I think Ive been looking for a reason to jump ship for a long time now, and this is it.

Posting this from my kbin account - good to see the Federation is working!

Glad this sub will survive! Although I’m a bit sad to lose my flair, I just got promoted to Jr Lieutenant.

Great, guys. I go through the trouble of purchasing “daystrominstitute.us” and standing up a Digital Ocean droplet and just found out that somebody way more competent beat me to the punch! /s

I’d like to share a few thoughts, if I may.

I still don’t know the technical abilities of the Fediverse at-large and how customizable individual servers are. So some of these may be impossible or irrelevant.

1) I’d like to see a summary page of hosting costs with the ability to help out. We’re kinda on our own here and nobody should have to bear the Brunt alone.

2) It would be nice to see an onboarding wiki to show new users. Maybe explaining how the concepts here map to their equivalent Reddit terms.

3. Since (I’m assuming) this is a hosted cloud instance from one of our more technically inclined officers, it may also be good to have a page of other devops type people who can help out with server tasks when needed.

With that said, I’m genuinely thrilled to see people back and can’t wait to dive back in to reading fanon so detailed that it makes a doctoral dissertation look like a shopping list.

Cheers!

Edit: Perusing the threads and it looks like most everything I wanted is already here!

I too have no idea what I’m doing, but despite my initial doubts (and thanks to some helpful folks over on r/startrek explaining how this works), I do appear to be doing it, and I am glad to be here with all of you.

(My first Lemmy comment ever! So happy it’s here on the Star Trek instance!).

Here’s hoping this takes off! In retrospect it probably would’ve been smarter for me to pick the same username as my Reddit account, but given how few people have registered here so far, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to grab Kestrel.

Pleased to be here with you all! I’m a Daystrom lurker and lunchtime at work would be awful without all the insightful posts to read.

Does this mean I’m an ensign again?

Genuinely so happy to find Daystrom here. Probably one of my favourite subs.

Woo!

Hi everyone! I’m glad to see Daystrom has its own continuity of government bunker.

It looks like M-5 is hard at work archiving posts. Is it grabbing old PoTWs or working off some other criteria?

Excited to see you guys on the Lemmyverse! The subreddit was always one of those places I could get lost in for hours. Now I can do it here!
