I have kind of a background knowledge, but did exactly that and have almost finished Lower Decks. It is the first ST thing i’ve watched for years, and yeah there are some references but overall I think you’d really enjoy it without knowing about the full history.

About to start of Strange New Worlds :)

Lemm.ee didn’t shut down because it was financially unsustainable though. It shut down because the admin team didn’t want to do it anymore.

Plenty of people have offered to take lemm.ee on and AFAIK nothing has progressed, but handled in a different way there could have been continuity and no need for users to transition away.

Given that the issue wasn’t one of finance and rather one of effort/will, how does charging for access change anything? The owner could decide they have had enough, walk away, and shut everything down anyway, no?

I very briefly played voidcrew and refunded it. Jump ship is far superior, even for a demo.

Been playing this for a couple of days with friends - amazing game, demo is great. Like a mix of deep rock, sea of theives etc. Really worth checking out.

There is no need for us to defederate, the law is around accessing a specific website and the onligations to ensure the content on that website doesnt fall under the OSA.

It doesn’t matter where that content comes from, just that UK users don’t see specific content. Therefore we don’t show UK users any content.

That’s kind of a simplified summary, but hopefully makes sense.

It only impacts lemmy.zip because I am a UK resident and run the site, so am liable under the act. Otherwise I’d do what everyone else has done and ignore it.

I fully agree with you - I’m legally liable though under the act and am not risking fines.

Wow, that’s amazing 🥲

These days, join-lemmy is pretty good at narrowing down instances to match your likes.

Ahh, this is really sad. Lemm.ee was always an instance that shined brightly, and @sunaurus@lemm.ee has helped me out a couple of times.

Sad day indeed.

I’m on to the last season of LD, it’s such a fun show. Will be starting on SNW once I’ve finished LD.

Having not watched anything ST for a while, I’ve started on Lower Decks and have been quite enjoying it.

We haven’t defederated with .world.

This game defined my childhood. Guess its time to relive it.

+1 to this. Runs great on linux and is a blast.

What a blast from the past

Or PM an admin :)

Nah, we do a whole process where we write out to mods first to check before deleting - plus iirc you’ve put its a backup community in the sidebar. We’re not so big I don’t recognize the communities quite yet!

We wouldn’t delete any dormant account.

We remove communities with dormant mods to prevent spam :)

Had a quick play - great start!

I’ve tried going back into it and get a utf-8 error - is this common? I can’t log back in.

Some thoughts if you do decide to keep working on it :) Could you add comments as another tab next to post and media. I can only see a way to look at subscribed communities. Can you add the local and all tabs too?

If you fancied adding all the mod and admin tools to it too, that would be amazing 😅

Wow - this looks amazing! Gonna try it out ASAP.
