why is like 30% of the content on Lemmy star trek related? is it just a side effect of the particular communities I’m in or is it an actual platform-wide thing?

It’s like a secret dialect to unlocking conversation with people who are nerdy and struggle to maintain a conversation. Once you are aware that the IT guy/gal you are talking to has seen Star Trek then you don’t need to reach any further for other conversation topics.
Just to expand, even if you don’t watch Star Trek, asking if they think “Deep Space 9” is worth watching will yield you hours of socialising.
I’ve not had to deploy this technique for a while because eventually I watched Star Trek and loved it. Now I’m one of those people lol.
