!edc@sopuli.xyz

Welcome, I’d love to see more communities and content related to medicine on the fediverse :)

If it helps, part of my hope with !medicine@mander.xyz was that it would be used by medical professionals, similar to r/Medicine on Reddit (whom we’ve been in contact with, and from what I can tell we have a friendly relationship with). I just haven’t had the time (or expertise) to pursue it further. Any content that could be posted in this new community would also be great on that one, and I’m happy to add more people as moderators or make changes to that community to have it better suit what people want. That way, it gets the boost of already having a good number of subscribers that are interested in that content.

No reason why there can’t be more than one community! My reason for suggesting it is because there aren’t that many medical professionals here on Lemmy yet, so it could help to coordinate a bit so we’re not spread too thin. For example, encouraging posts in (or cross-posts to) the larger community at !medicine@mander.xyz and the such.

I love that you’ve already found some more medical professionals with this community :)

For anyone that has friends that can be convinced to move off snapchat:

• it doesn’t actually delete things after the timer goes out, it just hides it from view. Sometimes the app bugs out and that data will be accessible again
• signal has stories and the same format of disappearing messages
• everything else that’s good about signal

If what they want is the “One weird trick your doctor is hiding from you” style content on the discover page, then I got nothing.

Thanks for the update :)

You can link them in the body (or even in comments)

You use this format:

![alt-text](URL)

For example

![Cat napping in the sun](https://example.com/cat-nap.jpg)

Futurama - Thompson’s teeth, the only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth

I think you can do that with one of the brushes actually

Pencil icon -> swipe up -> draw mode -> block icon

The one next to it does a blur

It’s actually recommended by a lot of profs now where I am, which is really nice

They overhauled the UI recently and it looks nice and modern too

I found it to be more than I needed. I still have it installed, but use localsend more often

Am I the only one that gets this? I tried uploading a video but can’t seem to regardless of file size

I don’t think you can upload a video to Lemmy directly. People usually upload to another site and then paste the link in the URL field.

Toggling between sections makes no difference

This shouldn’t happen, I’ll poke around and see if I can replicate it.

so many different sections of lemmy makes it difficult to know where to post

Quick overview if it helps:

• subscribed, local, all, moderator view are different feeds that will show posts from different collections of communities:

  • subscribed shows posts from communities you subscribe to
  • local shows posts from communities on the instance. This can be helpful for topic specific instances, and on our instance it will get you a lot of the Canadian content. The full list of communities on our instance are here: https://lemmy.ca/communities
  • all shows all content that the instance knows about
  • moderator view only shows posts from communities where you are a mod.

• hot, active, scaled, controversial etc. affects the order of the posts on the feed.

You can set defaults in your settings once you know what you like, I haven’t changed mine in a long time now. I use subscribed with scaled, but I recommend trying out things to see what you prefer :)

When posting, you will be posting to a specific community. What I like to do is navigate to it in my address bar. It will follow this format:

lemmy.ca/c/COMMUNITY@example.com

For example

• the fediverse community on lemmy.world: lemmy.ca/c/fediverse@lemmy.world
• the Canada community on lemmy.ca: lemmy.ca/c/canada (or lemmy.ca/c/canada@lemmy.ca if you find it easier)

Some more comments & jokes on this thread from a few months ago. I feel your pain @Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de

Thank you!

Can anyone explain this one?

Excited, I loved seeing people meeting up at community centres and communal spaces to watch the games :)

Depends on the shrimp and dish tbh

I guess it could end up being an arms race.

What if the tool was more of a toolbox, where each instance could configure it the way that they want (ex. Thresholds before something is flagged, etc.) Similar to how automod works, where the options are well known but it’s hard to tell what any particular space is running behind the scenes.

At the very least, tools like this can make it harder for silent vote manipulation even if it doesn’t stop it entirely

Similar with trying to explain the Fediverse. It doesn’t come up often, but the explanation is sometimes just

Non-profit run social media

While not entirely accurate since you can run an instance for profit, it’s been the case for pretty much every instance and it’s definitely true for the side I’m helping with

places nose in desk drawer

you can have this back at the end of the day
