Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered surprising new clues about a hefty, rapidly aging star whose behavior has never been seen before in our Milky Way galaxy. In fact, the star is so weird that astronomers have nicknamed it “Nasty 1,” a play on its catalog name of NaSt1. The star may represent a brief transitory stage in the evolution of extremely massive stars.

First discovered several decades ago, Nasty 1 was identified as a Wolf-Rayet star, a rapidly evolving star that is much more massive than our sun. The star loses its hydrogen-filled outer layers quickly, exposing its super-hot and extremely bright helium-burning core.

But Nasty 1 doesn’t look like a typical Wolf-Rayet star. The astronomers using Hubble had expected to see twin lobes of gas flowing from opposite sides of the star, perhaps similar to those emanating from the massive star Eta Carinae, which is a Wolf-Rayet candidate.

Instead, Hubble revealed a pancake-shaped disk of gas encircling the star. The vast disk is nearly 2 trillion miles wide, and may have formed from an unseen companion star that snacked on the outer envelope of the newly formed Wolf-Rayet. Based on current estimates, the nebula surrounding the stars is just a few thousand years old, and as close as 3,000 light-years from Earth.

I got a warning from my firewall my phone was accessing by a malware site. Odd, I’m just relaxing and scrolling through Lemmy on voyager.

Seems it’s been calling out to qu.ax which has a rather terrible reputation.

Does voyager keep a log of where it’s been calling out to?

I don’t know if it’s caused by Voyager, the website or Lemmy by I’ve seen a few of these cut-off thumbnails but they are hilarious every time!

In the app there is a button "Random Community" which leads to random Community.

I like the initial idea that you can explore random communities but sometimes it suggests you a community from an instance that is no longer inactive.

So i wish that the random community isn't totally random but also do a check if that community instance still exists.

I've been seeing this regularly for a while now. Voyager fails to load an image, but when I open it on the browser, I get a "verify you're human" Cloudflare thing and can see the picture. Is there anything that can be done?

Hey Devs,

So I'm getting really sick of the XKCD Dependency derived memes being posted on !programmer_humor@programming.dev and other similar communities.

I still like the communities and don't want to leave them....I just want to not hear from then till this far has passed. It sure would be handy if I could block them from showing up in my feeds for 5-10 days.

Either way, appreciate your consideration!

Edit: accidentally linked wrong community.

I’m having a strange issue where when I tap on things, the tap is misaligned and hits just below my intended target. Thus tapping a different UI element.

iOS 26.1 and PWA. Latest build as of this post.

Does anyone else get this issue? Is it my fault? Is there a workaround?

I've seen videos directly from the app with audio. I did tried vimeo peertube streamable video platforms for getting direct video preview from app. None works. Am i doing anything wrong? Or the feature is inherently missing?

Peertube gives preview from the web but not apps. If possible prioritize direct view of peertube videos

If I'm on a feed, say All, then I accidentally open the communities side bar, I cannot for the life of me work out how to close it without having to choose a feed or community, triggering a refresh.

This is worse when I'm on a post. I am here reading the comments in a post and accidentally open the communities side menu, how do I close it and stay on the post? I have almost no chance of finding that same post again 🙁

I thought for the last few months that my comments were just being removed, but I logged into Lemmy.world just through Safari today and found all my “missing” comments.

Currently, in the Voyager app, I can see a comment made 2 months ago, but any other more recent comments do not display in my profile for more than a few days. This is problematic because I comment often to return to posts with links I’d like share, or just revisit the conversation. I’ve actually stopped using Voyager and visiting these instances much because I figured I was doing something wrong and having comments removed without notice.

Now that I’ve found that this appears to be Voyager-specific, I’m curious what settings are causing this or if this is a bug.

Voyager seems to have a bug that seemingly came with the new Voyager version: after posting a comment, screen space with rounded corners / camera notch are not fully utilized and black borders appear. This effect remains until app restart. App remains fully usable, just with a bit less screen space used.

Did a quick search of github issues but did not find this one reported.

Are others getting this?

Sorry for this low effort post instead of a real full bug report. I feel like this must be a known issue already but just didn't find it.

Thanks for the great app!

When scrolling in compact view, a lot of times the username will be cut short, so we don't actually get to see any tags until going into a post.

Related, I would love to be able to color-code comm names based on what instance they're hosted on as well, especially when the feed ends up being multiplies of the same story posted to every comm with "news" in the title. Some of the comm icons are memorable enough, but many are either too small to be legible, or don't have a custom icon at all.

Vger's search is currently only single select filters: comments, posts, communities, and users.

The default Lemmy UI can search using a combination of criteria:

  • (Filter by) All/Comments/Posts/Communities/Users/URL
  • Subscribed/Local/All/Moderator view
  • (Sort results by) Top All Time/Controversial/New/Old
  • (Filter by) Community
  • (Filter by) User
  • Search Post title only

Is there an easy way to tap into that functionality by API or web scraping?

There is so much low effort content at negative karma. I would like the option to completely hide negative karma posts

Blocking honestly isn't enough imo. I am up to 13 blocks for one user that constantly makes new accounts under the same name on different instances. Being able to simply filter them out by username would be fantastic.

18
 
 

If I choose All, no more posts load when I get to the bottom. Anybody else, or suggestions on how to solve this? Home works just fine.

It seems to happen after making a comment. Going back to the main app, and then everything is on a grey bg inset over the regular black background. This never occurred until 2 or 3 days ago.

Why do i have to put two newlines and i can't leave just one?

21
 
 

I am noticing that I have posted pics in communities and now they are showing up as "Failed to load media" and the sad emoji. I am also not able to post pictures or gifs at all anymore. Is there a general reason or a specific reason? I am using Voyager for Android, I'll see about trying in a browser or on desktop when I get more time. Sorry if this isn't allowed here, just don't know who to ask or how. Thank you.

A example I found in the comments too

Is there a way to change the download location for media? When I download a video, it goes to /Movies, but that mixes with all my personal stuff and I don't really want lemmy stuff there. I've been moving them manually after the fact but it'd be nice to be able to set the location.

Since a week or two I noticed that image and link posts are broken from Voyager for me. They are created, but it seems they never reach the outer world. Also image posts don't include the image. I just shared a link post this morning, Voyager provides this link:

https://vger.to/piefed.social/c/netzkultur/p/1425133/internationaler-strafgerichtshof-wirft-microsoft-raus

...but it doesn't seem to exist. Text posts however still work, and via piefed.social I can also post normally.

Anybody else having this problem? I already tried logging out and in again.

Also, a minor unrelated thing: All my comments start with two up votes, which resets after a couple of minutes lol

Is anyone having issues with loading page 2 or just continuously scrolling on all? It just ends and lets me try to reload but nothing happens. Is it my instance or the app? It’s been happening for a few days now and refreshing the page doesn’t really fix it.
