What is up with Star Trek memes on Lemmy anyway? I blocked like 5 communities already but they keep popping up all the time. It's a show my Dad watched as a young adult and he is almost retired, that's how old this shit is.
Nobody answered you, but there was a conflict with reddit and Star Trek mods several years ago and so a large group of fans came here much before last June. They’re just better established than other groups.
Also if I made something with "federation" I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of Trek nerds showed up
I still wonder if it's just so many old people ("old" in my perception aka idk 45+) on lemmy compared to reddit or if more younger people watch trek than I thought. I know 0 people in my age bracket watching it but have several senior colleagues being fans but might be just my case.
