PSA: Jeri - Seven of Nine - Ryan is active on the fediverse!
Just in case you didn't know ... she's on mastodon, has probably been here longer than you, and is active (she once actually replied to me!!!!!).
-
As well as Anthony Rapp @albinokid@nerdculture.de
Robert Duncan McNeil @robertdmcneill@mastodon.world
George Takei @georgetakei@universeodon.com
Most aren't as active as Jeri Ryan though.

/r/StarTrek had a Wiki page for Twitter accounts of Trek actors and writers, perhaps when our wiki is up and running we can maintain a list of production folk on the Fediverse.

Does an admin or something want to make "first contact"?
She probably doesn't know this place or lemmy exists, and if she wants to post here, like all mastodon users, could maybe do with a pointer or two (but also a warning about following this community unless she's ok with a firehose on her feed, which she might be).
-
It seems that many Star Trek authors, writers, and producers etc. set up Mastodon accounts when then expected to be leaving Twitter.
Some of those accounts are being kept semi active but don’t have active followers. I understand that following a Mastodon account from Lemmy isn’t as feasible as the other way. I’m wondering if those members might be more active if they knew there was a community here that’s interested to engage.
All to say that it would be great if
— we could have guidance on how to follow them from here if possible (rather than creating separate Mastodon accounts;
—the mods here could message them to let them know there’s a new and active community here interested to engage.

A couple of thoughts on this:
-
I don't think it's possible to follow Mastodon accounts through Lemmy - at least not yet. To be honest, though, after playing with their interoperability, in my opinion it's best to just set up a Mastodon account and use it as a separate platform. The formats are different enough that you'll be grateful for the more Twitter-like UI experience.
-
I'm personally not big on messaging actors or other series personnel without a very specific reason. These are personal social media accounts, and not everyone appreciates extra "noise" in their feed. Those who are interested will likely find out about us organically, and we would always reach out if the timing seemed right and we thought they would be receptive.
-
For me the lack of desire to interact in that way means that it would be convenient if I could follow certain mastodon accounts through lemmy, but because I have no desire to microblog or attempt to interact with celebrities, in turn, I have no desire to set up a mastodon account just to lurk a few accounts

@maegul here's a link for kbin users.
And I think this is the global link format:: @JeriLRyan but does that alert her? I'm still so new to all of this.
-
Qapla'! I'm a Kbinner using Kbin, both of those links work for me. This is really cool, until now I haven't followed anyone on the Fediverse, and now my firsts are Takei, Ryan, and McNeill. Thank you maegul and JustinFTL for the info!
