Me: "Man, why is someone tempting us with a screenshot like this."

Also me: "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

Day 1 purchase when it comes out. I can't wait!

I'm definitely sticking around. It was slow going on Lemmy after Reddit's third party app shutdown on 6/30 but there's been a noticeable uptick in posts and comments in the communities I follow which is great. I don't need 5,000 responses per post and Lemmy's discussion volume works just fine for me.

There are still a few interests I follow that aren't present on Lemmy that I'm aware of (pro wrestling and NFL being the big ones), but hopefully those arrive soon.

I don't know if we'll ever see a full episode with flashbacks to everything he's been through, but oddly enough I don't mind the intentionally vague references to it so far--leaves it open for our imaginations (and fan fiction) to fill in the gaps.

I know the feeling! SNW's theme and opening credits definitely bring back memories of eagerly looking forward to TNG every week. It's easily my favorite Trek theme since TNG.

Wow, these SNW writers really bring it each week, don't they? Not to say every episode is perfect but I've found every single one to be very entertaining and exactly what I want out of Star Trek in 2023. The combination of standalone stories mixed with underlying character development and arcs is perfect.

As for this week, the idea of encountering a planet that could make you forget everything was weirdly creepy, if not a bit implausible. Even if this wasn't her showcase episode, I grinned at Ortega's "I AM THE PILOT!" moment. Also enjoyed the away team being out of sorts on the planet which I thought was well done and not an action overdose like the season opener.

I can't believe I'm rooting for Zuckerberg over that walking shitstain Musk here. WTAF.

I was using Reddit mobile to follow some interests that don't have any communities on Lemmy yet and noticed the obscene number of awards on that ad. How in the world did that happen?

I'm really enjoying seeing the Lemmy communities I follow grow noticeably in just the past few days and hope people stick with it.

You misunderstand--I almost never post on them, but I actually want more Lemmy cat pic communities which provide an endless source of cuteness and entertainment amidst the doomscrolling. But to each their own, of course.

[–] Disgustoid@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Definitely more prolific thus far considering all the communities I've found on Lemmy so far are for hobbies and interests, and not just the slew of assorted cat pic subreddits I was subscribed to on Reddit. I'm sure the latter will come in time though.

Same here--wefwef is amazingly solid for such an early product.

If Sync for Lemmy gets off the ground and is anywhere near as good as the Reddit version, I'll probably switch to that since it was easily my most used Android app before Reddit lost its mind.

If you're not a fan of high information density, I recommend Overdrop. It presents the key information in a simple, clear way.

Also been testing Weather Today which seems to be another good one in the few weeks I've had it.

So cute, as they patiently waiting for their turns with the brain cell.
