Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I’ve ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what’s the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

      I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or genuinely think the concept of Federation originated from star trek.

          The word universe as in fediverse has nothing to do with space or star trek… Universe in a broader sense just means “a group of all things”.

      I don’t follow Star Trek. It’s a genuine question. I hate went people like you just try to shame others for not knowing some random piece of trivia.

        You’re right, that was obnoxious. I apologize for that. But the concept of a Federation is big part of the show. As is not being a dick, which I just failed at.
