It will redirect you to a random community, so it wouldn’t make much sense to subscribe to it. The apps will likely add a button or menu somewhere for you to use it

The benefit is that the other microblogging platforms might also implement or improve threadiverse support if this goes well. We could get more activity and users from the people who are only on a microblogging platform

Did you try Calibre Web or Calibre Web Automated

Maybe CWA is what you’re looking for?

So they don’t explicitly mention “chronic” Lyme disease in the video, and I couldn’t find any other articles from looking up the names mentioned, but it does sound like that’s what is being talked about here.

What I would be curious about is if these patients got the antibody test. If they didn’t, that seems like a relatively easy policy fix. Bacteria can spread to other countries and go undetected, and the test isn’t that invasive compared to the peace of mind it would give patients. Same

However if they did get the test and it came back negative, then it gets more complicated. Doctors don’t want to put someone on treatment for something that can’t be detected. Every medication has side effects and you would end up harming someone without evidence of a benefit. Where it gets messy is when people go for “diagnosis” or “treatment” abroad.

I did actually find this from last October

 Overview

The Australian Government appreciates the opportunity to respond to the Senate
Community Affairs References Committee list of recommendations on the Access to
diagnosis and treatment for people in Australia with tick-borne diseases. The Government
thanks the Committee and the various stakeholders for their valuable and thoughtful input
to the Inquiry.
The Government acknowledges the concerns of patients who are facing issues accessing
diagnosis and treatment with tick-borne illnesses. In early 2013, the Department of Health,
Disability and Ageing began engaging with patients, medical practitioners, and advocacy
groups to discuss concerns about Lyme disease. In 2016, the department engaged and
addressed the Senate Inquiry recommendations into Growing evidence of an emerging tick-
borne disease that causes a Lyme-like illness (2016 Inquiry) through a range of measures
such as public education materials, research and guidance for medical practitioners. As a
result, the department has gained a deeper appreciation and growing concern for those
Australians experiencing issues relating to tick-borne diseases.
This response addresses the specific recommendations raised in the current Senate
Committee's Report. The Government remains open-minded about the cause of the various
complexes which manifest as a range of chronic debilitating symptoms. The best outcome
for patients and health practitioners is to not draw conclusions based on poor levels of
evidence, but to consider each patient thoroughly in a multidisciplinary medical approach
that makes the best use of clinical expertise and available diagnostic skills and technology.
The Government remains engaged with the patient and medical community to continue to
find, share and understand the evidence associated with tick-borne diseases. The
Government hopes its continued work with clinical medicine and research communities will
result in answers and relief for patients and their families

Do you have an article about the case you’re talking about?

There is a difference between Lyme disease and chronic Lyme disease. My guess is that this case has something to do with that difference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease

Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is a tick-borne disease caused by species of Borrelia bacteria, transmitted by blood-feeding ticks in the genus Ixodes.[4][9][10] It is the most common disease spread by ticks in the Northern Hemisphere.[11][8] Infections are most common in the spring and early summer.[4] Infection is treatable with antibiotics. Most treated patients experience a full recovery. For some patients recovery may not be immediate or complete, resulting in long-term effects.[12] Early detection and prompt treatment are associated with more favorable outcomes.[13]

Diagnosis is based on a combination of symptoms, history of tick exposure, and possibly testing for specific antibodies in the blood

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_Lyme_disease

Despite numerous studies, there is no evidence that symptoms associated with CLD are caused by any persistent infection.[4] The symptoms attributed to chronic Lyme are in many cases likely due to fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome.[5][6] Fibromyalgia can be triggered by an infection, and antibiotics are not a safe or effective treatment for post-infectious fibromyalgia.[7] Fatigue, joint and muscle pain are also experienced by a minority of people following antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease.[3]

A number of alternative health products are promoted for chronic Lyme disease,[8] of which possibly the most controversial and harmful is long-term antibiotic therapy, particularly intravenous antibiotics.[9][10] Recognised authorities advise against long-term antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease, even where some symptoms persist post-treatment.[11][12][13]

In the United States, after disciplinary proceedings by state medical licensing boards, a subculture of “Lyme literate” physicians has successfully lobbied for specific legal protections, exempting them from the standard of care and science-based treatment guidelines. Such legislation has been criticised as an example of “legislative alchemy”, the process whereby pseudomedicine is legislated into practice.[14][15][16] Some doctors view the promotion of chronic Lyme disease as an example of health fraud.[17]

Chronic Lyme disease is distinct from untreated late-stage Lyme disease, which can cause arthritis, peripheral neuropathy and/or encephalomyelitis. Chronic Lyme disease is also distinct from post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) when symptoms linger after standard antibiotic treatments.[18][19] PTLDS is estimated to occur in less than 5% of people who had Lyme disease and were treated.[20] In contrast to these recognized medical conditions, the promotion of chronic Lyme disease has been accused of being health fraud.[17] In many cases there is no objective evidence that people who believe they have chronic Lyme have ever been infected with Lyme disease: standard diagnostic tests for infection are often negative.[2][21]

Nice, I had no idea

I tried out Fladder, Moonfin, and Wholphin

• Fladder does load, but it crashes on certain pages for me. My guess is that my hardware isn’t powerful enough to handle something that it’s trying to do
• Moonfin and Wholfin are both beautiful with an intuitive UI. Between the two, I liked Wholfin the best. It has a preview when customizing the home page, which is very helpful compared to the back and forth guess and test with the other ones. I also prefer it’s UI and default settings over the others

I replaced Findroid with Wholphin on ours

Neat, are there any other clients for Android TV aside from the official one?

Fladder was working on it, but last I tried it was still too unstable to use

I agree, rather I was surprised that threads grew big enough for people to be trying to migrate away from it.

In my area / friend circles, I don’t know anyone that continued to use Threads after the initial launch. However, there are people using Mastodon, Bluesky, and Twitter

I think if someone is interested in the topic, then they will be better equipped to navigate tech products if they’ve learned about what’s going on under the hood. Same as health/science education for navigating pop science, or mechanical knowledge for navigating scammy car mechanics.

I agree on some of the other points though. I would not use any of the random chat apps that these new accounts have been posting

The tooltip explanation for the handles should help, since that’s a very common point of confusion.

especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to X or Threads.

That many people use Facebook Threads? That sounds like saying “especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to Reddit or New Digg.”

I think it would be nice as an opt-in feature in the user settings

You also need to factor in countries with mutually exclusive citizenships

You might be able to get away with using a web browser and an open source proxy/front end

We’re still working on publishing the results of the census we ran a few months ago (sample size of around 600, where most users were from our Lemmy/Piefed instances)

Here is the graph for the phone question, exact numbers pending final cleanup:

We will also be fixing the data labels to be less terrible

Sanctuary / rescue workers might do a gentle toss with some animals if it fits in with their training / recovery.

I used Trakt in the past, but nothing recently.

If I started tracking again, the main use case would be looking up a person and getting a quick list of where I’ve seen or heard the person before. I don’t know what sites do that.

Otherwise it can also be useful if a friend asks if I’ve seen anything good recently.

No ads.

Incredible range of customization and third party app options.

If I need to go on new Reddit for something, I get exhausted by all of their bs very quickly

Have you tried URLCheck? That’s what I’ve been using for this purpose and it’s pretty nice. It strips off the link trackers + other features

What community are you thinking of creating? Personally I would recommend making it on your home instance, unless there is a strong reason not to do that.

We are a Canada focused instance but we have lots of other general purpose communities. In fact, this is one of them 😄
