So Measles is a thing again?

"The outbreak could include the first cases of measles in Alberta this year, according to the latest data.

As of Monday evening, three people in the same household were confirmed to have contracted the virus, according to Little Red River Cree Nation Chief Conroy Sewepagaham. "

EDIT: for link inclusion, sorry, new workflow for me :)

It looks the URL got dropped from your post, likely this one: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/measles-outbreak-reported-in-northern-alberta-community-of-john-d-or-prairie-1.7480122

I've seen this a few times recently, and I think the 'create post' UI could be improved for new users, specifically around the image upload and thumbnail options. You can have either a link or an image, but not both, and the thumbnail is applied separately

What I like to do is

  • paste in the link
  • add the title (if it didn't autofill)
  • copy a link to an image from the news article and paste it in the thumbnail field

Lemmy lets you edit any part of a post after posting, so I sometimes fix things if it doesn't look right.

(also welcome to Lemmy.ca 😊)
