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 appreciate the transparency, but fucking hell, are we pariahs?
Recently I wanted to make a comment, but I wasn't logged in (I clicked a link that took me to a different instance and did not realize it).
I came back here , searched for the community, I sort by new to find the post... and it's gone.
The irony is that I wanted to reply to some guy dunking on how our instance is a ghost town (was gonna reply with a pic of the Q Continum and joke that not all ghost towns are as they seem)
But since that moment a few days ago I am noticing it constantly.
Sucks feeling like Ro and LaForge being out of phase with the ~~enterprise~~ majority of the fediverse. It's really taken the wind out of my sails the last few days.
Crestfallen rant aside, I'm a coder by day I would like to know if I can offer any generic technical help (I don't know lemmy, but maybe I can help debug the issue 🤷♀️)
Again thanks, sorry if I'm coming off angry I'm just disappointed and using your comment to get it out.
Not really your point, but I can't help but have some thoughts on this:
Ultimately, the instance is exactly as active as its users want it to be, for better or worse.
If we were overly concerned about size, we'd have stayed on Reddit.
Ya you're right. Just seeing it in chart format triggered an some kinda emotional response and I just sorta vomited a reply. Sorry about that.
I just came for a good time and I'm having one, even if it's not perfect.
For sure, I get it. I wish .world federation was more reliable, but we seem to run into challenges a couple times per year. We're always looking to improve stuff like that.
