That one actually isn’t a mistake. His last name was spelled “Ryker” when they were developing the show.

It’s quite cool.
I totally understand your desire for a community that allows you to discuss classic trek without worrying that your enjoyment of new series will be lessened if you read spoilers. Reddit has a big enough user base to have separate subreddits for each series. Lemmy’s not there yet.
think there is a way to make any forum spoiler-avoidable, especially where very current episodes are at play. Sensible titles (e.g., including the episode discussed) would go a long way toward helping with this.
Lemmy also ostensibly supports spoiler tags
But not every client supports them. Hopefully as clients improve, support will be universal.
Getting people to use those where appropriate might also help.
I look forward to seeing how this and other trek communities develop, and I hope that your experience improves.
Hydration is important! Other crew members should take note. (Surely the consoles are waterproof.)
Because I’m in the Mac ecosystem, I use NetNewsWire on my devices and sync with iCloud. Before that, I used Feedly to sync. Feedly also has a web interface. I’m not sure what the best RSS apps are for Windows and Android are, though.
Here’s an article Wired did on feed readers last year. Many of them are subscription services, but some are freemium. (NetNewsWire is totally free).
One of the best changes I’ve made to my content consumption habits in the last couple of years has been not relying on following news-ish social media accounts for my news or going to certain websites in hopes that there have been updates, but really diving back into RSS hard. it’s such a better way to get most news content.
Two of them were made after this article came out (he mentions four movies being made. Star Trek IV came out in 1986, TNG premiered in 1987). So Star Trek V 😬 and Star Trek VI 👍 were yet to be made.
