Counterpoint: The rest of the Fediverse can see it too so it's not just for Lemmy.

Can you recommend me where to get started with Star Trek?

Star Trek The Next Generation
Skip episode 1, "Encounter at Farpoint". It sucks all around. Watch it later if you're really curious but don't say I didn't warn you.
If you want to check out a "representative" episode, see Season 5 Episode 2. (edit: the episode is named Darmok) You don't have to know everything going in, it's self-contained. If you like the episode you'll like Star Trek.

I remember really liking Encounter at Farpoint when i was a kid
Rewatching it more recently, I realized Diana's "PAIN! I FELL PAIN!" was her sensing the audience's reaction to the horrible episode
Like... It had a single episode worth of good episode in there but they left the other half in that should have hit the editing room floor
ETA: I had to look up what season 5 episode 2 is, and yes, that's an excellent representation
I'd argue that the second pilot of the original series, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" is also a excellent overall introduction to Star Trek: cerebral rather than action oriented, the focus on the people and their relationships both with each other and their own humanity, asking questions of the audience to make us think, solid message ("absolute power corrupts absolutely")...
But definitely skip the original pilot, The Cage, in its standalone form. Watching that, we were damned lucky it didn't get shitcanned fully right then and there
