  • Man, actually hearing that someone is enjoying this place makes me feel bad for trying to give it away 😂

    I guess if no one ends up wanting it, I could try my best to keep it going. As long as y’all don’t mind infrequent posts. I’m trying to balance “Lemmy feeling like a job” with “actually enjoying Lemmy”. Maybe it’s my own fault for creating a bunch of communities (it’s definitely my own fault lol).



  • I’m sure there’s an argument to be made about not buying things you can’t afford, but looking at the graph in that article, people are going to get fucked on mortgage renewals. Anyone that locked in for 3/4/5 years are going to be renewing between now and the next couple of years and going from BOC rate of 0.25% to 5% or more is going to hurt.

    Someone I know is looking at renewing their mortgage in the next couple of months and they’re already looking at a jump from 3% to >6%.




  • I’ve been trying to kickstart four communities because apparently I’m a masochist, but I’ve posted more in the last month than I did in the last 10 years on reddit. It reminds me a lot of my first couple of years on reddit (circa 2010/2011) and then my posting died off because you’d either get drowned out by the noise (hundreds or thousands of comments) or ignored in favour of a one liner joke.

    I’ve seen a lot of people comparing Lemmy to early reddit, and I don’t necessarily disagree, but I feel like there’s one important distinction between the two. Even early reddit was driven by karma. There just wasn’t as much people >10 years ago. I find the lack of karma on Lemmy refreshing. How it’s gone back to the old forum way of just counting the number of posts is fantastic. It’s a weird habit to break out of though because part of me still wants to go “I got no upvotes, time to delete” or “I’m getting downvotes, better delete my post”.
