Not a whole lot to say. This was a really boilerplate episode. The ship having a room full of dangerous memberberries doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Otherwise all the characters are pretty on-schtick, thankfully this doesn't include Mariner being stupid and breaking protocol for once. The ringworld concept is woefully unexplored and underutilized. So I'd call this one a filler episode at best.
After so much time spent railing against Reddit mods it feels so weird to be called "the mod" now. But yeah no this sub is a ghost town. I've linked back here from Star Trek subs on Reddit and Lemmy but no one is taking the bait. I think it's equal parts Mainchan not having a lot of users, nuTrek sucking double Klingon dicks for so long it's eroded the fan base, and other Star Trek forums already having dedicated users that aren't really looking for a new home base.
Guess the plan is just to keep this sub stocked with Trek news and reviews and take an "If you build it they will come" type approach. Thanks for being the first regular 'round here BTW. If we ever get single user flairs I'll anoint you with a title or something.
The problem here isn't really features, it's the Empty Restaurant Problem. Mainchan lacks the social proof to attract new users. They come, see just a few users making posts with no replies and few upvotes and they leave thinking this isn't a place where they'll find any social interaction. Then they go to a place like Lemmy/Kbin and see many users making many posts with many upvotes and many replies and they join there because Lemmy has demonstrated social proof that a mass of users will interact with them which is after all what social media sites are for.
Now one can fake social proof, there's companies for that that'll flood the place with real-looking traffic to eliminate the empty restaurant look. That's basically what Reddit did, they had everyone in the company posting and commenting under multiple accounts and employed bots to make even more posts and comments so that the site looked like it was hopping on day one. So, when Digg imploded Reddit looked like the happening place to be for the real users looking for a new platform.
For large scale growth you need users to get users. Most sites and influencers choose to fake it til they make it by using Social Proof services to boost their numbers at the start. The other route is a big ad campaign which may or may not work on it's own. A combo of the two though usually does it. That or have the one in a billion luck that your unique content goes viral (which is kinda advertising in it's own way).

As someone who's not on a new car waiting list, who's vehicle isn't manufacturer serviced, and who doesn't own auto stock I approve this.

Never saw that, must be the inspiration. I've just been posting random stuff I have saved in my memes folder.
Some s/aww or s/cats material. s/Random is soaking up all the posts. In other news now I want a Cheetah.
