If they started offering help it would undermine the BoE’s strategy and likely open up a can of worms. I say this as someone having bought a property in 2021 and remortgaging this year.
The BoE have one lever they can pull and it’s labelled “interest rates go up”.
Edit: tbh, I’m more concerned with the housing market crashing due to the high interest rates making ownership at the current prices unaffordable. I suspect when we remortgage again we’ll be paying the same amount of interest or higher due to being moved an LTV banding, which will be depressing.
I’m pretty much stashing gems and legendaries. The latter can be useful for extracting the aspect out. Almost everything is being sold or harvested.
For what my 2c are worth, I think legaladviceuk is probably the clearest in terms of discoverability. Despite a community existing on a UK-focused instance, it’s ambiguous as to whether it’s UK specific.
In the end though, it probably doesn’t matter too much, as long as the instance is being actively maintained and is in tune with the values of the community.
Setting up your own instance would actually probably be the best idea but if there’s no one technical around to maintain it I’m not sure it would work out.
Feel bad for saying this, but it just looks like the most generic shooter, to me, and the only notable thing about it is UE5. That said, I do wish them the best of luck, as it can’t be easy being the first one out the door using the new tech.
That’s kind of how I feel about Lemmy. Given how much traffic has been received over the last few weeks, I’m impressed it continues to work as well as it does. Sure, there are problems, but no one’s getting paid for this and federation makes it necessarily more complex to implement.
Maybe working in webdev my expectations are much lower than they used to be.
This is an interesting point to bring up. I think in reality this squatting on a name is not an issue until the community is being actively used and moderation is required. And at that point if the moderators of the community fail to step up, we do have a path of escalation to the admin. Until that point, in reality, I don’t see it as something causing trouble.
I think though if you were to have one person start land grabbing many unrelated communities with no actual intent in moderating them, that would be a different situation and more immediate action ought to be taken.
This is a bit premature. If and it is a big if a nefarious corporate entity was to purchase an instance, then magazines would be re-established on other instances and so would users. The instance would effectively die off and be reborn elsewhere. For most people I sense this wouldn’t be an issue as the cost of moving instances and creating new accounts is generally quite low.
If you are concerned around the possibility though, you can always set up a new single user instance, which you have more control over.
To be honest, the only reason to move accounts at this point would be if the instance administrator asked - due to issues with load, for example - in order to be a good citizen. Until that time, try not to worry and enjoy the fediverse 🙂
Is it an issue of a bad value in a config file (check line 6, column 26)?
I’m not really sure what’s going on but this the algorithm Lemmy uses in theory: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html
Could it be something to do with lemmy.world’s federation skewing the votes/comments? The other thing is whether the ranking is cached in some way and that’s broken or not invalidating early enough. Don’t know.
