search within communities?

search within communities? - Star Trek Website

Hey, folks. I’m not sure if this is a Jerboa question or a Lemmy question, but is it possible to (or possible to implement) search within a community? For instance, on this community, I would have loved to have had a search field to search “search” and it only searched the Jerboa community, so I can make sure I’m not reposting something someone else has already asked. It would make it a lot easier to find information, especially in communities geared towards advice or niche information. I’m not a techy person, though, so apologies if this is something very difficult to implement or a feature that’s already there and I’m overlooking it. Thanks!

Discovery Appreciation Post - Star Trek: Website

Hey, y’all. I know Disco can be a little controversial, but can we do one thread here where the Disco fans just chat a bit about why we love it? As a treat. If you hate Disco, as a personal favor, would you mind giving this one a pass, and letting us enjoy this in anticipation of the show coming back soon? One of the things I love most about Lemmy is how the vibe around here, especially on this instance, is so much more reasonable that the old place, so I’m hoping this will go over well. :) It’s sometimes hard to always have to defend something you love, when what you really want to do is just gush a bit and talk about loving it. I’d appreciate it, and I’m sure a few others would, too. Thank you in advance. :) I’ll start us off: I love that I felt represented for the first time in Trek. I’ve always loved Trek, but having actually out, gay characters made me, at 30 years old, feel seen for the first time in my favorite franchise. I didn’t even realize it was something I needed, but it damn near made me cry. I love the far future setting after the jump. I love seeing the ships with forcefield hulls, the interesting ways tech has developed. I love the reunified Vulcan/Romulan plot. I just fucking love Tilly. No notes, give me all the Tilly. Mary Wiseman is amazing, and I would happily watch her read a phone book. There’s so much more, but I’ll leave it there. Does anyone have anything to add?

Game Recommendation? - Star Trek: Website

So, I hope this allowed, if not, I’ll remove. I have a small problem, y’all. I’m a filthy casual, and don’t game often. But right now, due to a lot of very stressful things going on, I’m having trouble sleeping. I’d like a game I can play on the deck for an hour or two at night to get sleepy. Here’s where the hard part comes in: It’s gotta be cheap (25 or less) It needs to be not-stressful to play, as in, it works well on the deck, with no fiddling, because I am a dumb and don’t understand things I don’t actually know what kind of game I want. I don’t care for FPS games, I don’t have the time/patience/money for online multiplayer stuff, and I’m not super in super heavy action games. I like puzzles, platformers, laid back games. Open world is great. Very small games are fun, but I need something that I can play pretty much every night for a while. I loved portal and the Stanley parable, but I’m burnt out on TSP and I’ve played both portal games several times. I need something with a little more longevity. Can anyone help with this not at all reasonable request?

linking communities - Star Trek: Website

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I’m curious about something. I’ve seen there’s a big debate about multiple communities for similar content on different instances, and whether they should coalesce into a single community or remain as multiple communities. I also saw a post about linking sibling communities with automatic cross posting and stuff. I’ll level with y’all, I understand coding about as much as I understand wtf quantum foam is. So I don’t know how likely that is, or how easy it would be to implement. But why couldn’t we just link to sister communities in the community sidebar. Like [email protected] could just have a link to [email protected] [[email protected]] in the sidebar, and vice versa? I haven’t seen any of the communities I frequent do this, and I just wonder why. If both communities did it, it would likely increase the user base of both, wouldn’t it? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m just loving on lemmy lately, and wish it were easier to quickly find related communities.

Enterprise era new trek show?

Enterprise era new trek show? - Star Trek: Website

I’m not sure if this is the right community or not, but I’m curious what y’all would think if they came out with a new show set in the Enterprise era. Ent is one of my favorite shows, and I always felt like we got screwed out of some really compelling TV when they ended they stopped making Trek after ENT ended. That era of humanity, the coalition of planets, the filling in of details on humanity’s early relationship with the Vulcans. Plus, it has denobulans, and we need more denobulans. So, I guess I’m just curious if I’m in the minority or not. Would any of y’all be excited if they announced a show in that era?
