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.

So, I have some ideas for discussing Star Trek Tech (Both ideas for how to do some IRL, and some ideas for tech based on other star-trek tech, not necessarily IRL, but "IRL" if StarTrek was 100% accurate)

So, what is the best community for that?

Thanks!

Good question - this one's a little case-by-case.

If the focus of what you're discussing is specifically Star Trek, the general c/StarTrek community would be fine. If you're looking to get serious and in-depth with it, c/DaystromInstitute would also work.

If the primary focus is on the real world and the Trek connection is more tangential (examples: "cell phones were inspired by communicators" or "this new medical device is kind of like a tricorder"), it's probably more appropriate for Quark's. But there are some edge cases in there, and we're unlikely to be fussy if something ends up in c/StarTrek instead.

thanks!

Sounds like for a good amount of my ideas are for Daystrom (It's on looking at the different transporters, and how to maybe combine them)
