    I wonder what the value proposition is for actors taking on these movies anymore.

    A decent pay cheque I imagine. Also, if you’ve ever dreamed of being able to fly or punch a bad guy through a wall or what have you, you’ll be able to live our those fantasies (and getting paid for it). In other words, it might just be a fun experience. Not everything has to be a calculated career move.

    Surely she has the pull to land something better right now?

    I dunno. House of the Dragon was her big break, no doubt, but she was only in a handful of episodes. She didn’t break out in the way that, say, Emilia Clarke did on Game of Thrones.

    It would be nice to see people engaging with old posts when they stumble across a community and subscribe to it.

    One barrier that will make this difficult is that instances only get a community’s feed from the moment they first subscribe to it, if that community’s home instance is on another server. So if you’re a user on - say - leminal.space and you’re the first person on that server to subscribe to - say - Musicals@kbin.social then you will not see any of that community’s old posts, only posts created (or boosted) after you’ve subscribed. This makes it difficult to engage with old content unless other people on your instance have been members of that community for much longer.

    This is one of the issues with the fediverse model that doesn’t exist in a centralised model like reddit. And - sadly - smaller, niche communities are the ones most likely to be affected by this limitation, because they’re the ones least likely to be federated to a large number of instances. It makes smaller, less active communities look even more inactive than they actually are.
