A few years back I built an Altair 8800 replica. Aside from the build itself, one of the best parts was booting a CP/M image to play Super Star Trek.

They just released a full 3D remake. I’ve been meaning to check it out sometime.

Hey … you’re posting to lemmy from mastodon … that’s awesome!!

Just a few small tips for making it work better on the lemmy side of things (mostly post formatting).

First … you can look at how your post appears on lemmy here: startrek.website/post/363006

Basic formatting tips:

  1. Treat the first line of you post as the title. You can see that your whole post, including hashtags, is on one line, and so creates a large messy title over here.
  2. Keep hashtags out of the title as they create links that are messy
  3. The next lines are treated as the body of the post … you can put everything else here including hashtags (which will work well) etc.
  4. If you want to tag anyone else, make sure to tag them after the lemmy community, as lemmy only pays attention to the first tag (which is a measure to prevent spam)

I wrote a little demo of what works here: hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095

Otherwise … really appreciate the effort to try to bridge these two spaces!

@maegul thanks -- I'll follow that format from now on

@apps is it possible to subscribe to the timelin of a account (like @startrek with a lot of postings per day) using without having those postings flooding my personal timeline?

I'm worried to flood my personal timeline and on the other hand it is possible to put an instances timeline on a list without directly following it.

I think you could follow it, but also mute it.

To be honest, though, I find the overall experience is better with separate accounts for Mastodon and Lemmy.

@rother_stuebs @apps @startrek

Mastodon 4.1.4 allows hiding list contents from home. The feed is disordered, and is sometimes lacking context, but I find it minimally workable.

@startrek Did anyone else read Jammer's Reviews as a kid? Did you know this guy's still pumping out reviews?

I wonder if the producers ever took his feedback seriously, or if he's even on their radar.

Episodes 1&2 got 3*, but he’s given episode 3 only 2*, so he thinks the exact opposite of me. I didn’t like 1 (I would’ve preferred if the doctor and the nurse had found a non-violent solution), was bored by 2 (not a real Trekkie, obviously), and 3 was my favourite.

startrekexplained ,

I discovered him as a teenager in the late 2000s, and was surprised to rediscover him recently that he’s still reviewing Star Trek, and other sci-fi shows like The Orville, etc. Love his reviews even if I don’t always agree.

Also apparently he was invited to pitch stories to the Voyager writing crew, but they all sucked so they were not bought.

Didn't actually realise that the subreddits of /r/StarTrek & /r/DaystromInstitute had a community @ https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] @startrek.

Given Trek fandom are often the first colonizers of online spaces in internet history (eg newsgroups) losing major Star Trek communities is big L for Reddit.

EDIT: Not permamently locked subreddits, got that wrong I think!

Gotta ask. I have this same account name on lemmy.world and on startrek.website. Will that be a problem? I've just been logging into both, the startrek.website posts seem to take a long time to get to lemmy.world, so I just log in here if I want to read this stuff.

Ooh, just followed my first lemmy community from Mastodon. Seems I just have to replace the "!" with "@" when I search for them. They seem to show up as a "Group" here. Nice!

First out was @startrek 🌌

@veronica @startrek FYI, tagging a Lemmy community from Mastodon also turns the toot into a post in that community - something to keep in mind!

@bjh13@ruby.social avatar

@veronica @startrek yep, and I follow some of those communities as well and it’s great. Just as a warning you will see every comment as a post, so make sure to click on them so you see the whole “thread” and get the context.

So cool. /r/StarTrek has moved to StarTrek.website

You can follow them from Mastodon with this handle @startrek

I hope this takes off. I miss the decentralized internet.

startrek.website is a partnership between /r/StarTrek and /r/DaystromInstitute from Reddit, they've both locked their subs over there for good. Follow @startrek for all your Trek needs. 🖖 :trek:

IdahoVandal ,

Next on this old starship, we building a forum.

Also, where did the name friends of DeSoto come from? I’ve listened for years and feel like a missed a random reference.

Soupbreaker ,

It’s from the early days of Greatest Gen, and references Captain DeSoto of the USS Hood (NCC-1703). DeSoto and the Hood made several appearances in TNG, and Ben and Adam leaned into his chill vibes, theorizing that the Hood would be a great place to work.

It’s also an allusion to the phrase Friend of Dorothy, an older euphemism for LGBT people.

I think it was originally jokingly conceived as a sort of passphrase or shibboleth for fans of the pod to identify each other without revealing their embarrassing enthusiasm to outsiders, e.g.

Q: “Are you a friend of DeSoto?”

A: “Best boss I ever had!”

I love having an entire live TV channel dedicated to re-runs of old Star Trek episodes

Ok so, I have a little Kodi setup which includes a live tv system hooked up to Pluto so I can grab a bunch of channels for free. Turns out, this includes not one, but two whole channels of just Star Trek!

The first one is mostly TNG and the original series, and the other one ("creatively" called More Star Trek) has mainly Voyager and Deep Space Nine. I like these because I don't even have to think about what episode to watch, and can just enjoy some Star Trek!

The only downside to this is well, ads lol

I use DisqueTV on my Plex Server to do this.

Deebster ,
@Deebster@lemmyrs.org avatar

I used to run a plugin on my Kodi that would make TV-style channels based on the original airing channel, complete with EPG and everything.

However, it wouldn't let you add lists of shows and create channels that way. I never got around to making my version, but perhaps someone else has done the work since then.
