House prices are going down. Just not by as much as many expect because ultimately there is still a housing shortage I guess. Also inflation is perhaps offsetting the actual drop in figures but technically is lowering prices too.

Right? What kinda holiday advert propaganda are they running there I am curious.
I made a second account on lemm.ee - it’s big so has all the connections you could need and has amazing uptime.
These papers and the people who write them truly are insane. I had the English version of the paper through my door the other week and you would think it’s satire It’s so ridiculous.
These far-right loony circle-jerks would be fascinating if they weren’t so troubling.
That’s just on lemmy.world website. But if I toggle that, it also changes what I see on Sync.
Sync also has a ‘hide read’ button although it unhides on page refresh - but it’s handy for quickly finding fresh posts.
I’m sure the search problem will be solved somehow. Like all the content is on each instance so its just a case of it being accessible and indexed by google I guess?
People having to work harder is good? No I disagree with that entirely.
Part of what makes reddit so amazing is the amount of amazing knowledge and answers you can find from google.
Comparing the two communities, reddit nearly always has way more quality content and news for me though for the time being. Often even with big news it’s just not here on Lemmy at all. Many posts also have 0 comments and you just wouldn’t see that on Reddit. Once Sync can create posts I will probably start x-posting more from reddit to lemmy for communities I am most interested in.
For now I think I will start browsing Lemmy and then visit Reddit for anything I missed. Keeping my posting and commenting over here mostly because I’d like to see this place grow.
There is an option in settings at least for me, ‘show read posts’ if you uncheck that they will disappear. It’s not an easy access toggle though unfortunately.
I mean fair I guess we’re on the same page there then. But if it caters to a different clientele then the existing clientele will move elsewhere was really what I was getting at, and that may possibly be here.
I mean Facebook is actually a perfect example though no? I don’t know anyone below 40 who uses it. Eventually people get fed up of these stupid websites and move elsewhere.
Reddit will be around just like Facebook sure, but somewhere else will pick up the slack.
In Facebooks case that was Instagram largely which you know, also they owned. In Reddits case it may be Lemmy it may be elsewhere, we will see.
I think those issues will be solved though. Apps will increasingly make onboarding simpler so Lemmy will be as simple to use as Reddit.
At that point really its just a case of waiting for Reddit to fuck itself, which it absolutely will do eventually via corporate greed, and there we go, all the Lemmy content anyone could ever need.
I think the general consensus seems to be bot and/or spam accounts being removed but I haven’t seen evidence of it. Anecdotally I have seen many people say it feels more busy around Lemmy lately but I haven’t been here long enough to know myself. It is a curious one though.
If it is genuine then I suppose it could be a typical cycle for platforms that get raided by another, in this case an exodus from reddit to Lemmy - then after the dust settles some people decide they don’t like it after all and go back or elsewhere.
I don’t think that is a bad sign though that is a natural cycle and as long as some people remain then it shows overall growth.
I think it will be a success for them tbh. D&D and Pathfinder are both just gaining such popularity lately that they will find enough market even if the hardcore players turn their back on it. If they can onboard casual players easily, they will be willing to pay for it.
Ahhh, ok that makes far more sense actually then. Text alone isn’t too bad especially if there are some optimisations available along the way.
Especially since, and correct me if I am wrong, but every instance holds all of the data for all of the other instances too? (that they are federated with).
This means there is an insane amount of redundancy no? With hundreds or thousands of servers the cost would eventually become prohibitive and need to rely on only a select few large servers and thus Lemmy doesn’t ‘solve’ the issue it tries to in that sense.
Or, maybe it’s only the bandwidth that becomes an issue and the data storage is actually minimal. If that’s the case I can see more how a smaller server could afford to be part of the ecosystem. Perhaps also down the line if not already there could be a cut off point for historical data to avoid bloat.
More very real effects of global warming that will be ignored or blamed on other things no doubt.
Global warming will fuck us indirectly before the weather on a Sunday afternoon is actually the problem, many seem to miss that.
Yup. Someone should be locked up for it, it’s actually just daylight robbery at this point as far as I am concerned.
If criticising Russia is extremist, then the world is full of extremists I guess.
This doesn’t even make sense to me. Are we assuming these people don’t own their own homes and are still paying rent to reach these figures? 31k to be ‘moderate’ seems absolutely stupid to me if housing is taken care of, and who has 31k a year pension but didn’t pay off their mortgage by retirement? Seems their definition of comfortable must include a lot of expensive holidays.
