Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
I’ve thought it would be nice to have a venue to discuss Trek comics, but I’ve always felt it would be weird to reference non-canon/dubiously canon stuff from a less popular medium in a main Star Trek thread.
Thus, I was wondering if this server has sufficient interest in such a thing to create a new community just for Star Trek comics.
We ran a regular comics discussion for a while, but there wasn't a lot of engagement at the time.
My personal feeling is that I'd like to see more comics and Treklit discussion on c/startrek before splintering anything off into its own community, but I'm also very interested to hear what others think!
An added benefit of posting comics stuff to c/startrek is that those posts automatically receive a #startrek hashtag on Mastodon (some restrictions apply), so there's a higher chance to get engagement from that platform.
If there's enough interest, I'm fully willing to start putting up the comics discussion posts again. The issue initially was I was almost always the only one sharing my thoughts about the books.
Maybe there could be a way to reach our label "Memory Beta"-belonging posts?
I think I agree with this, just in case someone wanted to discuss a novel as well.
I don't know when it will actually be released, but I think the Lemmy devs are actively working on a post-tagging system. Once it's in place, we will probably figure out how it might best be used in our communities.
