    Wish Star Wars had its own instance like Star Trek, or at the very least wasn’t on world.

    As an aside, I also wish this community had an icon, I subconsciously ignore communities without icons.

        I mean they’re the same thing anyways. When Spock and Chewbacca raided those tombs from the Nazis with Han Solo, it really forced Darth Vader to admit to everyone that he was HAL 3000’s father. To which HAL 3000 replied “I’m sorry father, I won’t let you do that!”

        And then they blew up the sealab 2021.

      That’s the cool thing about the fediverse. Anyone can set up a new server at any point in time and host their content. No one is being stopped from doing that.

      Oh… Don’t want to pay for money to set up and instance? Oh…. Don’t want to spend the time administering an instance? Oh… one may exist, but it’s not that popular so no one uses it?

      It’s fine for now. Hopefully it will change in the future, but let’s see.

      @Emperor@feddit.uk initiated a discussion about a StarWars instance, but it got removed by the mod for being off-topic.

      About the icon, it is now fixed, might take some time to federate: https://lemm.ee/c/fedigrow

        I did indeed and I have that and two other posts drafted for !fedigrow@lemm.ee (delayed because of work and improving my crafting flow on here). I hope to get one or two off tomorrow.

        Where was that discussion? How can a meta discussion about the community’s future be considered off-topic? 🙃

        PS. Good icon.

          Look at the modlog, happened a month ago: https://lemmy.world/modlog/1209

          How can a meta discussion about the community’s future be considered off-topic? 🙃

          Had that happen plenty of times on other communities unfortunately…

            Such a shame. Looking at the modlog, the moderator obviously didn’t do it maliciously, hence trying to move the discussion to private messages, but ultimately, that kills any traction and prevents the community from coming together to support the idea and discuss important things like funding.

              Oh indeed - Mods set the remit of their communities and enforce it. Experience suggests some don’t like meta discussions - so it wasn’t a post about Star Wars but about something which would be about Star Wars.

              ultimately, that kills any traction and prevents the community from coming together to support the idea and discuss important things like funding

              Yes, it’s a bit Catch 22. Fortunately, @Blaze@reddthat.com has said I can restart discussion here, as it’s a handy place to float to float ideas for new instances to see what the interest might be.
