I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

🍁⚕️ 💽

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)

Direct message

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.

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)

Maybe part of the solution should be to change how we talk about products or make recommendations. Such as describing what to look for in a product instead of the product itself.

Make the bots more obvious

A key to making the device effective was the discovery that flies are three times more attracted to the color blue than to yellow and that yellow actually seemed to repel flies.

Well TIL, maybe it’s the color?

My original guess was that red watermelons are more common and so flies have evolved to crave it. You could also try with other fruits and report back 😄

I found this (rather toxic) thread talking about turning it off. Doesn’t seem like it’s possible normally, but I’ll be curious how GRAPHENE IS handles it.

Ah it’s only available in the US too
