It's popular, very memeable, has a long history, and most importantly: there's 2-3 series of it running right now. So it's topical and being engaged with.

I havenβt seen a single Star Trek movie and yet I find it more entertaining and hilariously funny at times.
I also prefer it to the incessant cringy cheesy Star Wars memes I would see elsewhere.

Iβd been hearing talk of Lemmy as a potential Reddit alternative around the third party app debacle, but nobody seemed to be taking it terribly seriously until I saw the Star Trek subreddits open startrek.website for themselves.
That got me interested. It was the first instance I can remember of one of the bigger communities I followed just up and moving like that, and it made the whole thing feel more real.
