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.
I agree with this. There’s some problems that need to be addressed. Hopefully sooner rather than later
Hesitant to get started with Starfield. My instincts say that with Bethesda optimisations and bugs are rolled out after month 2. So I’ll probably hold off until then
There does seem to be a lot of pushback around bots recently. It might be worth reaching out to discuss with a wider audience eg. !bots@lemmy.world or similar
Have you considered doing a top community of the week/month/year thing? You could reach out to community mods and alert them they’ve won “Top Community of X period based on <Growth>”. Keep a pinned post detailing current “winners”. It would help advertise this community, and it would encourage other communities to be more competitive/pro-active in appealing to new users.
I feel like Cosmic Osmo is doing something that would best be kept behind closed doors
If you do it on a skateboard you’ll be able to get around faster
That’s how doubt works.
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
I think splitting the post into sections dedicated to specific metrics might help. You could keep WIP metrics live but as different sections. For example…
Top N By…
Growth Percentage: <this would be your current metric> … … …
Absolute Number of New Subscribers: <eg. trendingcommunites +5000 new subscribers> … … …
Trending Formula (WIP) (Link to post detailing formula): <this is the formula talked about in a different comment> … … …
Etc.
I think that grabbing the easy metrics and offering them up initially will be more beneficial to growing your own subscriber count than trying to work out a clever way to do just the one thing.
Love the idea though, I’ve posted about this community in a couple places and I’m thrilled to see that it’s taking off a bit. Great job!
I had a brief read through the article you linked. I’m frankly shocked at how relevant it is. I never considered how widespread the problem is in reality. It goes so much further than just reddit. An extremely interesting article for anybody curious, I’ll be dedicating more time to reading it in its entirety this weekend.
Thanks very much for linking it!
That’s interesting - can I ask where you’re seeing those stats?
It’s something I thought about. But as you said the exposure to search engines is key.
!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
If its possible to create your own instance and federate with any instance of your choice - are there any apps which include the ability to register your own instance with you as the sole user? Maybe I’m misunderstanding the underlying logic
