Mr. Maussen is the same guy that found some mummies in Peru, claimed they were alien and it was proven to be mummified children. I wouldn't get too excited by this. If 30% of retrieved DNA was unidentifiable, then 70% was. Not an expert but unidentified genomes are likely to be a result of divergent evolution and/or simply a result of a chemical breakdown over time.

I'd put my money on this guy having a real knack for finding dead kids.

Evolution is crazy

I agree with this. There's some problems that need to be addressed. Hopefully sooner rather than later

I feel like Cosmic Osmo is doing something that would best be kept behind closed doors

That's how doubt works.

  1. There's something you know and you experience something which challenges that knowledge.
  2. Now you only believe this thing, less sure in your knowledge so you reach out to others who are more knowledgeable on the topic.
  3. Post answer your belief has either returned to fact or you've learned something new, abandoned a false belief and grown as a person.

Nothing wrong with reaching out.

Nope, no change to the default settings

Huawei P20 Pro, big screen but old phone at this stage I suppose. Thanks for the quick turn around :)

Not for me. Attempting to scroll down does nothing either

There's no continue button on the edit image screen

XPost for visibility. Hoping the linking works, don't know just yet. Spotted a few devs are active in this sub so this might be a project right up their alley.

Hey All,

Tl;Dr: Save Reddit technical expertise before it's lost to the sands of time and corporate shutdown.

Just wanted to get a discussion started on what would be, in my opinion, the greatest loss that we, as a society, would experience with the loss of Reddit. Proposed solutions welcome. And please don't take this as me supporting Reddit in any way shape or form.

For years Reddit acted as the Internet's foremost discussion board. As part of that it became host to a slew of subreddits which house niche information and technical expertise. I can't tell you how often I've struggled to find a solution to a particular problem only to stumble across it on a years old reddit thread.

That information is, frankly, invaluable. Reddit may not be tailored to providing technical advice akin to the likes of stack overflow but, nevertheless, it is home to some of the hardest to find answers. If Reddit was to disappear tomorrow, so would that information.

As such I think that information should be treated as a goldmine, and just like a goldmine, excavated. If Lemmy is to play host to the great Reddit migration then it might well play host to these valuable tidbits. Exactly how such an excavation could be done without a blanket copy of all data on Reddit I don't know. But I think it's definitely something worth discussing and promoting amid Reddits recent mishaps. Who knows what the future holds for the site? But it's downfall shouldn't lead to the loss of decades worth of troubleshooting efforts and technical expertise.

!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is my goto for discovery, for anybody else who might be struggling to find communities

Sure that would work just as well if not better

This doesn't work for me. Tapping once causes the image to close, not just the overlay.

Edit: Follow up on this. I found that if you zoom in slightly and then tap, the overlay will disappear instead of minimising the image. Not exactly as you described but I believe this was what you were referring to. A workaround for now but certainly not an optimal user experience

As you can see in the attached image...

  1. When an image is sufficiently long enough it will spill under the image control.
  2. When an image is sufficiently long enough it will spill under the phone's drag down bar/quick access bar.

These bars are made partially transparent to support this. However this partial transparency will obfuscate the content of some images making the experience of using the app frustrating.

This happens quite regularly in landscape mode, but does also happen in portrait mode.

Proposed Change: Fully transparent image control bar, leaving just the controls themselves as visible overlays. Restrict image sizes to ensure they don't spill under the quick access bar

!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

This is a bot driven community which scans subscriber counts daily and uses the difference to generate a list of trending communities. Great for discovering new, active and growing communities!

Came here with the same idea. The ability to sync a selection of subscriptions between different accounts would be a fantastic extension to this feature.

While lemmy.world was experiencing issues with the recent vulnerability I signed up a 2nd account with a different instance. Not having the subscriptions from lemmy.world is a pain, especially after the last few days of collecting subs.

Proposed feature would add a method to filter all posts appearing on the homepage feed by the value of a post property.

This may take the form of a filter button added to the homepage, or a setting in user settings.

Any posts which do not satisfy the filter are not shown on the feed. (Maybe a small text blurb saying "{N} posts were hidden by your filter(s)" so that it's reflected)

Use Case: Currently NSFW post content can be hidden from previewing but they will still appear on the feed - as will their title. A filter could be used to remove these posts completely from the feed.

Currently you can view a community and manually scroll through each post.

Proposed feature would add a Search Icon to the community view which would search posts/comments/users/etc. within that particular community.

Both are federated right? Getting a bit confused - are they interchangeable? Can I view lemmy posts/communities in Mastodon? Similar to how I can view lemmy.ml content with a lemmy.world account?
