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 :)
there’s this one but it doesn’t seem to have any recent posts !lostlemmys@lemmy.world
Might be nice to have a more generic one if we make a new one. Maybe c/LostUsers or something to keep it open to lemmy/kbin/piefed/sublinks/mastodon etc
This seems like the wrong community for this post
Didn’t notice this was already posted, here’s another link / quoted content

Russian satellite breakup sends ISS astronauts to shelter
On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, shortly after 9 p.m. EDT, NASA instructed the nine astronauts aboard the International Space Station to head to their shelters. This precautionary measure was in response to the breakup of a Russian satellite, RESURS-P1. The astronauts spent about an hour in their shelters before it became clear the space station was not in the path of the debris.
More on RESURS-P1
According to Leo Labs, a California company that provides collision avoidance service and real-time conjunction alerts for satellite operators:
The approximately 6,000 kg [13,000 lb] satellite was in a nearly circular orbit at about 355 km [220 miles up] at the time of the event.
While it is not yet clear what caused the breakup of the Russian satellite, the satellite ended its service back in 2021. So what was previously one defunct space object is now more than 100 pieces. With the increasing amounts of satellites, both operational and past their useful lives, accumulating in orbit, the crowded space around Earth is becoming more and more of a concern. According to the Orbiting Now website, there are currently more than 10,000 active satellites in orbit around Earth, with nearly 3,000 inactive satellites still in orbit.
Deleting since duplicate
That’s the goal for the community eventually!
I don’t think there are enough medical professionals making that content yet, so in the meantime I’ve been trying to share news/updates relevant to medical professionals. I’m happy to make any changes to the community to help meet those needs.
It seems to be a chicken-egg situation like other niche communities. While it’s mostly laypeople right now, it might just need a few medical professionals to start making text posts there, and then others can find the community over time.
I can also do more promo for it

Which app are you using? It would be best to post in the community for that app
Interpretation The model could be used to accelerate investigation and source control during outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease through the identification of cooling towers from aerial imagery, potentially preventing additional disease spread. The model has already been used by public health teams for outbreak investigations and to initialise cooling tower registries, which are considered best practice for preventing and responding to outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease.
Looks like it has been used for source control purposes
In some cases general anaesthesia isn’t possible, or carries more risk, so this might open up new opportunities. Here is a bit from the article:
"Now that John’s broken the ceiling, we can offer it to patients who have lung disease, or are older or have heart disease that may pose a higher risk for general anesthesia to make a recovery for them much safer,” Nadig said.
That’s part of why I clicked the article, I was confused if I read it correctly
We’re actually in contact with the r/Medicine moderation team over in !medicine@mander.xyz. We never ended up formally announcing a partnership / official status because everyone got busy, but it’s something I want to go back to at some point. There are a lot of amazing medicine/healthcare communities on Reddit that could benefit from an alternative here
See also this post for other medical spaces: https://lemmy.ca/post/6611650
I also think that Mastodon healthcare people could be interested in a community here, if there is a good way to reach them and let them know it exists
This is one of those things that I’m planning to work on more actively soon!
I think it can be an effective way to help people find Lemmy, and it will work better if that the focus is on letting people know that the option exists (rather than being pushy about it).
Which community to work with
IMO it’s the best community to work on might be one that you are already familiar or active with. If you have a good reputation with the mods already, they will be more likely to listen to your idea. Similarly, some subreddits will benefit from having a space on Lemmy more than others.
What benefits to highlight
I’ve been busy with some other things for some time, but when I was last working on this with a few subreddits, the main benefits were:
A lot of users don’t want to have to use Reddit, and many have already stopped using Reddit. Having a similar community without ads/tracking with the same moderation team will go a long way to helping those people stay involved
A well known backup community is very helpful. Some subreddits serve important purposes and even temporary outages on Reddit can affect time sensitive questions. Meanwhile, there have been cases where entire subreddits were removed in error (ex. automated systems reacting to mass reporting), and users had no idea what happened. It’s helpful to have a second place that everyone knows to check for updates in those situations.
Potential process
Once both communities are linked, there’s a chance for trust to build and users will feel more comfortable knowing that the Fediverse community is an ‘official’ one. That can be helped by having information in the sidebar, a pinned post, and/or a note on the submission page, etc.
Day to Day
This requires having an account on Reddit and being somewhat active on it. Users are more likely to explore the fediverse if they see content from it. Some ideas could be
A weekly “here’s what you missed from Lemmy”
Sharing any major updates about Lemmy / the fediverse community
If there is an important post that could benefit from reaching more people, then letting the OP know that they can post here as well

Aside from increasing or decreasing the values based on the relative error/wrong-ness, is there a good way to get close on the first try?

The article is nice, but I’m not sure if I’d send it to friends that aren’t familiar with the fediverse. It seems to gloss over some problems and focus less relevant ones
It doesn’t touch on the issues with Blueskys protocol and makes it sound like an equivalent choice (or worse, a better choice). In the downsides section it touches on racism in badly moderated instances, and the difficulty of setting up an instance. Those issues aren’t relevant to the vast majority of users who will join a large instance that has defederated from the bad stuff.
It’s a nice article for those who are already somewhat familiar, but a bad first impression
Very cool, thank you!
This is both really cool, and really unsettling. I wonder if this research might help in the other direction as well, such as with transplants and grafts
Good points, it’s hard to portray that part of the data either way
I’m really just splitting hairs, the chart is a helpful visualization otherwise. Thanks for sharing!
