startrek.website is a partnership between /r/StarTrek and /r/DaystromInstitute from Reddit, they’ve both locked their subs over there for good. Follow @startrek for all your Trek needs. 🖖 :trek:
Naming it into a more generic sci-fi name, like scifi.website, might have made more sense, since it would open things up for other franchises, like star wars/stargate/doctor who to also be hosted.
It would be a bit like rec.arts.sf.* from back in the day.
With Star Trek being such a massive franchise with a bunch of subcommunities, I think it makes some sense for it to be its own thing. There’s no need to merge communities, having dedicated spaces is nice.
