Lemmy isn't what I expected but I love this place

3 years ago by misterdoctor to c/memes

Please understand: I mean this in a very, very loving way. Lemmy has so much content and so many references that I do not understand but it’s awesome seeing all these passionate communities outside of my usual circles.

With startrek.website we'd hoped creating a Star Trek themed instance might encourage other ex-moderators to start topic-specific instances too, and it would kick off a flourishing of myriad communities run by devoted moderators, a Lemmyverse so diverse and inspiring that not even Reddit could further justify it's own existence in the presence of such an obviously superior system.

Instead it turned out "Star Trek and Linux" was enough to satisfy nearly everyone's tastes (both subtle and gross).

Arch...? You mean Jonathan Archer. I understood this Star Trek reference.

This meme got the LW logo to represent Lemmy. We can understand why there is no more :-(

But in reality, there is dbzer0, blahaj, slrpnk, and more too

All of those sound like sketchy porn sites...

I've been enjoying ttrpg.network but hopefully more rpg nerds come to this instance in time.

Bull. Shit. Have you never seen a debate on Star Wars or comic book characters?

Shit like this is why I started using imgur alongside Lemmy. They're no better than reddit was, but I need my memes.

Yeah I tried a WSB themed instance. Lemmy really isn't set up to support this. Its a pretty critical issue with how its engineered and can't really be fixed in the current structure.
