New paper out that I helped a little bit with: "A Demonstration of Interstellar Navigation Using New Horizons", where NSF NOIR Lab's Tod Lauer uses New Horizons images of the parallax Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359 (of Star Trek fame) to figure out the absolute position of New Horizons in near-interstellar space.

It's a very international collaboration, with participation from quite a few small-telescope observers in South America and Australia, and dedicated to the memory of a master Polynesian navigator who inspired some of the thought process. And Brian May too, because he's a friend of the mission.

My little role was in helping to analyze the pointing uncertainty in both the New Horizons and ground based data.

There is no way to hide NSFW posts client side in the app ATM. The expectation is that your Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed account would be configured with whether you want to allow NSFW posts or not, and the API would reflect that configuration. I guess it's not working correctly on PieFed though.

It's all good! Honestly, I didn't even learn about the issue from a post in this community, it was actually from a comment in the fediverse community.

Thank you, this is actually already an issue I'm aware of and will try to fix for the next update.

Free-floating planetary mass objects-worlds that roam #interstellar #space untethered to a parent star-challenge conventional notions of planetary formation and migration, but also of #star and brown dwarf formation.

But they also come as binaries.

Here is the discovery of one companion candidate around a Taurus member with a separation of 18 AU, with an estimated primary mass in the range between 3-6 Jupiter masses and secondary mass between 2.6-5.2 Jupiter masses.

There is currently no settings for these but we do plan on adding more layout options in the future.

Ich habe zum dritten Mal #Interstellar 🚀 gesehen und zum ersten Mal mit den Kindern. Christopher Nolans Sci-Fi-Abenteuer bzw. Vater-Tochter-Drama kratzt zum ersten Mal am Lieblingsfilm. Zur Besprechung: https://moviescape.blog/2025/06/16/interstellar-2014-ws2/

Notifications seem to be working for me on piefed.social. The error is a python error coming from piefed. Could you ask on their git repo and see if they know what the error is.

Thanks :)

For the video error it looks like it happens because the video is age restricted. I've added an issue about it on the github.

As for the other error, yeah its really annoying and it seems sporadic which makes it hard to find what is causing it. We'll do our best to track it down soon.

Thank you for the report! Unfortunately, this is not enough context to be able to fix. Is it possible you could tell me exactly what you were doing? Were you literally just scrolling through the comments? Which post were you seeing it on? And are you seeing this consistently?

What is the difference between the three options within Settings > Feed Defaults > View. There’s Threads, Microblog and Timeline options, but I can’t see what effect they have on the feed.

That sets the default Feed View for when you're on an Mbin account. Mbin has options to view threads (the Lemmy side of the fediverse), microblogs (the Mastodon side of the fediverse), and timeline (combined threads and microblogs), whereas Lemmy and PieFed don't have microblog support, only threads.

When viewing comments, some replies are shown and nested, but others require tapping Open x replies. What determines whether a reply is shown automatically or needs a tap to open?

That's totally dependent on the API's response. If Interstellar sees the API returned a comment that has X listed as the number of children, but the API didn't actually return those children, then it displays the Open X replies button.

We don't do any sorting with the posts once we get them from the API and seems scaled sort works properly for lemmy so I'm pretty sure this is a bug with the piefed API. Try mentioning it on the piefed repo.

I've made an issue for it on GitHub so we can track it: https://github.com/interstellar-app/interstellar/issues/207

Wait, I literally just solved the issue and uploaded fixed APK files. You should be able to update successfully now!

That was literally added in this latest update :)
