Other sci-fi series? What "other sci-fi series"?
EDIT: I wasn't asking for recommendations, and honestly nothing you can offer will measure up to the glory that is Star trek. Soz all, LLAP π

This is actually something i also noticed when i switched to lemmy from reddit. In reddit its all star wars and here its all star trek. I lean more in the star trek direction so im happy here
As others have said, Federation.
I expect it was a random first arrival bias.
It's only logical.
You do understand the entire structure of this Network is based on Star Trek, right?

Because that community decided to leave and start a place here when things blew up. Other communities didn't. They're active, so people hang out there. There's a fairly low barrier to entry for new folks to participate (a lot of people have watched some Star Trek).
Really, having an active community say, we're leaving and setting up shop here goes a long way. I wish my niche subreddit had done so as well.
Lemmy was built by and for people who like Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism morality plays.
Iβd been hearing talk of Lemmy as a potential Reddit alternative around the third party app debacle, but nobody seemed to be taking it terribly seriously until I saw the Star Trek subreddits open startrek.website for themselves.
That got me interested. It was the first instance I can remember of one of the bigger communities I followed just up and moving like that, and it made the whole thing feel more real.
I havenβt seen a single Star Trek movie and yet I find it more entertaining and hilariously funny at times.
I also prefer it to the incessant cringy cheesy Star Wars memes I would see elsewhere.
The Star Trek TV shows are far superior to any of the movies anyway.
Even starting with the original series' movies, they tried to make them more action-y than philosophical to appeal to a broader audience, and while they're a lot of fun, I rewatch the shows WAY more for a reason.
