I think while the general communities have made it, a lot of niche communities failed to attract enough population to keep on generating more content. As an example, just search for the "Imaginary" series of landscape art communities on the Fediverse (eg. ImaginaryVistas). Many of them don't have any recent posts or 1 post per days or weeks. That's not enough to keep people invested. Even the largest digital art community is still mostly carried by 1 person.
The Lord said that the "VCR shall be saved" with the knife technique, but in the following paragraph, it was not the VCR that was saved, but the man that was saved. The VCR was not saved!
It looks like it could fall over with any gust of wind and kill someone.
Should the instances that responded to you be refederrated? I’m pretty sure I saw some of them on lemmy.world’s block list. I think it would be sad for these small servers to not realize they are, in fact, not connected to the greater fediverse. On the other hand, if you’re an admin, and you don’t know what you’re doing to the point of not knowing your server was infected by hundreds of thousands of bots, maybe it’s too dangerous to refed.
Oh good to know. I guess I only really caught reddit downtimes in the past.
I like how it looks exactly like reddit's status page, especially considering they just released old.lemmy.world.
Luckily I did bring my flashlight and batteries, otherwise I would have been screwed. I did not plan to stay up so late, but the ascent to the ridge hike took longer than anticipated, and of course, what was a sunny day in the morning progressed to clouds and rainstorm by the afternoon, which continued into the night.
I continued as best as I can. I was acutely aware of the danger of a trip and fall that might break an ankle and hypothermia - some parts of the hike still had snow, and anytime I stopped, I could feel the cold seeping in.
In the end, I reached my car at around 10 PM.
Getting caught in a large rainstorm in the evening while on a mountain trail with 3 more hours of rocky descent to go.
I just experienced my first actual report. 🙃
The Voyager app just recently added the ability to block a community directly from the feed without opening the post or the community.
The only person I met with that name, and only in small amounts, is Henrietta Lacks.
The previous maximum displayed banner size is 912 x 300.
The current maximum is 1770 x 300 but dynamically changes as you shrink your browser window.
The community icon remains the same at 150 x 150.
You can see how this messed up even this community's banner by cutting off the lemmy.world mascot at the top. If you have text in your banner, you'll need to position them closer to the center than before. It can be... mildly infuriating.
Hello. Trying the app on IOS. Looks great so far.
I’ve encountered two UX issues multiple times so I wanted to share them with you:
-
Swiping up on an opened picture closes it. However, if I’m zoomed in on the picture, there seems to be no way to close it without zooming fully back out and then swiping up. That extra step makes the whole process feel janky.

When replying to a comment, the comment is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately, the keyboard completely covers up the comment as a result. If the comment had multiple points I wanted to address, I’ve had to close the keyboard to look at it, and then open the keyboard to type multiple times. Is it possible to move the comment to the top of the screen, with a fixed height and scroll bar or something so long comments wont take up more of the reply box’s real estate? Perhaps with a seipe option to close the comment as well if necessary.
2B. I just encountered another issue as I am typing up this post. The top of the keyboard is hiding whst I am typing on a long comment like this and wont allow me to scroll further down. I have to close the keyboard and put the type marker at the end of my reply for it to update so I can see what I am typing. I’ve attached a screen.
One of the most memorable hikes I've ever done, trudging along the ridge and through patches of dwarf pine as these rain clouds zip past.
54 year old female with a history of minor injury to the finger 6 months before these studies were obtained, subsequently developed an infection requiring debridement. The wound was then stable until 2 months before, when a large, fungating, hemorrhagic mass grew.
X-ray shows large radiopaque mass eroding the distal finger (distal phalanx and distal portion of the middle phalanx).
CT 3D surface reconstructions show the morphology of the mass.
CTA 3D reconstruction shows the mass is very hypervascular.
Lymph node scintigraphy was performed showing a sentinel node at the axilla (not shown). The patient underwent amputation of the finger with axillary sentinel node biopsy, which was positive for metastatic melanoma. The patient was then lost to follow-up.
38 year old guy fired his 45 mm into his knee while cleaning the gun. No exit wound.
There is a comminuted fracture of the distal femur with multiple bullet fragments, including the largest at the intercondylar notch. There is gas/air in the knee joint, forming air-fluid levels on lateral view. There are additional foci of gas in the surrounding soft tissues.
Patient underwent arthrotomy for foreign body removal and fixation of the supracondylar/intercondylar femoral fracture.
41 year old male with history of HIV-AIDS, meth-abuse, presents with progressive headache and confusion over days.
CT shows a large mass destroying the left frontoparietal calvarium and causing significant mass effect on the underlying brain.
MR shows a heterogeneous enhancing mass with hemorrhage (SWI - dark areas), hypercellularity (DWI - mildly bright areas), and hyperperfusion (ASL - bright areas), features suspicious for high-grade tumor.
62 year old female with a history of tobacco, opioid, and meth abuse as well as heart attack requiring coronary bypass and stents. She presents with bilateral lower extremity claudication (painful fatigue with physical activity) starting from her glutes.
CT angiogram shows occlusion of the lower aorta (red markings) as well as both common iliac arteries.
Vascular ultrasound shows very poor arterial waveforms throughout the lower extremities, essentially flat/absent below the knee.
She underwent a transabdominal aortobifemoral bypass to treat this.

Traumatic spinal cord transection from motor vehicle accident. [Neuroradiology] [CT] [MR]
(lemmy.world)
Very unfortunate case of a young patient, who was crossing the street on a bike when he was struck by an SUV. The patient had brief loss of consciousness with decorticate posturing. Following that, he had reported no sensation and total weakness from the waist down, with physical exam showing total sensory and motor loss from the nipple level (T4) and below.
CT shows no fractures but some abnormal amount of gas/air in the back of the spinal canal at C7-T1.
MR shows complete transection of the spinal cord with 0.5 cm gap at T3 - goes well with the physical exam finding. There is a dorsal epidural hematoma. There was also disruption of the anterior longitudinal ligament, posterior longitudinal ligament, and ligamentum flavum at T3 (not shown).
What probably happened was that instead of a fracture, the traumatic force went through the ligaments maintaining spinal alignment, causing the spine at the T3 level to dislocate and shear, cutting through the spinal cord. By the time imaging was done, the bones relocated to their normal position, but the damage had been done.
Female in her 20s with (all right-sided) proptosis, intermittent vision loss, facial pain, and mid to lower face numbness.
Coronal and axial CT images show a homogenous bony expansile process that results in narrowing of the soft tissue compartments of the face. As a result, the right eye is pushed forward (proptosis; as seen on the MR image), and many of the right-sided (as well as some left-sided) skull base foramina that carry nerve bundles and blood vessels are severely narrowed.

Much further back… Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. The party was founded on anti- slavery. The current party has nothing to do with the original party.
