This is the biggest design flaw of lemmy.
Instances should host separate content, and aggregation of separate instances should be up the client.
Instead we got the worst of all worlds. It means that lemmy can never truly scale performance wise or survive legal wise.
Hopefully they solve it in some way, but I don’t see how unless they do the above and totally remove cross instance caching
Auto scaling NPCs to your level is such a shitty and lazy solution to difficulty scaling. I’m so sick of it.
Why can’t they do an escalation system like the cops instead for each gang? The longer you aggravate them on their turf the heavier the guys are they send out. Much more realistic, and if you are getting your ass kicked you just scoot over to some other gangs turf.
