Man I’m just in constant awe and gratitude for how many of these things you have! I’ve been Trek memeing for a while but most of these are totally new to me, I feel like I’ve been living under a rock. You’re a beautiful human and we love you! ❤️🖖

You are a beautiful person, I wish the world had more people like you in it.

♥️ back at you! This place is great and you're a big part of why.

Risa is one of the few communities on lemmy that I subscribe to since moving from reddit that actually feels alive and active, and I love that.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago

Same. A lot of my subbed communities are still slow and growing (or kept going by 1-2 dedicated users), but Risa feels very alive.

Here's a blank template if anyone wants:

We got a u/stamets appreciate post going here?

Stamets, you have near singlehandedly made Lemmy my full time internet home. You keep me off the Other Place, and you bring joy and humor to my day, every day. Thank you for being a collector of humor and for distributing it in true Star Trek fashion, for the use of all. It's been a long road, getting from there to here, but thanks to you, our time is finally near.

Live long and prosper, Stamets.

Risa has become my favorite mag <3

Glad you're here, FARTYSHARTBLAST

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That actually made me laugh out loud haha

[–] Snowcano@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

Same! 🤣

[–] samwise@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

No relation, great guy though!

I recently discovered this community and I'm enjoying it, but I have no clue what 'risa' stands for.

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Risa is a pleasure planet in the show. Basically a planet that bases its entire economy on tourism and pleasing others. In all ways. Yes. Even that one.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 10 points 1 year ago

Especially that one

[–] Zoldyck@discuss.online 4 points 1 year ago

Nice 😏

Beverly and Deanna can’t get enough of the man-whores

tl:dr: It's a popular tourist destination within the Federation; where normally staid and serious Starfleet crew go to let their hair down.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

It was an "all things go" planet that was first discovered in the original series, and then all ships started using it as their shore leave vacation spot.

I am not Herbert!

They are the chosen one, destined to bring the funnies to Risa

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 4 points 1 year ago

Cmon, I've blocked all the meme and shitposting communities. Why am I still seeing this post?!

Oh, because it was good enough that I subscribed to it instead. Right.
