Since it's based around a show, Trek as a whole is in a show lull until Thursday. The folks who normally run the weekly content posts have already migrated over. There has been half a dozen attempts at replacing r/startrek with versions of it not run by that mod team and all have failed to gain traction, so good luck to anyone trying to do that. They run a tight ship and make it one of the more enjoyable subs on the site.

Trekkies have existed in groups in one form or another since Usenet and BBS. Moving to a new technology is nothing new to us.

That being said, 250 users in 1 day (they didnt get it set up and actually open until last night) is nothing to scoff at.

Edit: As of now (2am ET on Wednesday) they're at 800+ subscribers to the mainsub. That's-- not bad at all.

Is it the same mods as /r/startrek?

Yes. It is the same mod team.
