/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

If you're talking about earth then doctors and replicators are standard. People that don't have replicators are unusual. Holodecks do use a lot of energy so I'm not sure how common they are, probably more like a theater would be as an amenity for a city not one on every corner. They had free teleportation on earth with some usage restrictions so the holodecks would probably be free but with like a once a week usage or limited appointments.
Well, I'm more talking about human in general. Even the more spartan settlements we see usually have a replicator and something to power it with. Sometimes Enterprise gives them as "bare necessities" almost, imo. To modern day humans, that is. Well and the one's who were supposed to be modern day humans on some planet they had been kidnapped to. I thought it might be Voyager but now I'm not sure.
I imagine holodecks would run similarly to how library computers used to; they had a book and you could reserve an hour. On an empty day, you could do more. They'd allow you to use it as much as you want given there was no-one else queuing. Then it'd be shared equally. And it might depend on your relationship with the librarian, on just how much you annoy them.
Most of the rough living worlds and ships on the show are something like the future equivalent of Amish or adventurers. Choosing to live without the normal amenities as a lifestyle choice.
If you live on earth or another core federation world, you'll likely have the same or similar access to services and entertainment that the crew does.
