My current instance, diagonlemmy.social has no images, which is not great. So I’m thinking about creating an instance with a Harry Potter meme community.
What do you think?
I don’t understand your comment about no images. !leaky_cauldron@diagonlemmy.social looks like what you want, and I see plenty of image posts there.
If you don’t like that community for some reason, you might try resurrecting one of the existing dormant Harry Potter communities:
!harry_potter@diagonlemmy.social
!harry_potter_memes@diagonlemmy.social
!harrypotter@lemm.ee
!harrypotter@lemmy.worldOr, if you really want to start your own community, then by all means do it. Just know that it’s a lot of work to get a new one off the ground and build a critical mass of active users.
OP is admin of https://diagonlemmy.social - if you look there directly (rather than at your instance’s copy of ‘leaky cauldron’) they seem to have an images problem - anything that should have copied locally is broken. I’m not sure that the same person creating a new instance (which is what they seem to be saying) would be the solution tbh.
Yes, @blue_berry@lemmy.world, do you need help with making pictures work on your https://diagonlemmy.social/?
That would probably be easier than creating another instance
Thanks but I’m also a bit bored of the overall design. I want to try a bit new things. But yeah, the question is whether its worth it …
You can have a look at themes, those might be an option to make things more interesting: https://github.com/2xx04/lemmy-ui-themes
Oh cool.
Actually, the instance is already running: https://floonet.social/. I just haven’t activated the communities yet. I don’t know. I really like the idea of the floonetwork. Its like the idea of the fediverse already exists in the world of Harry Potter. I think it would be cool to bring more parts of the H.P. fandom in the fediverse, however, until now, every fansite I wrote to didn’t reply.
Cool name, I liked diagonlemmy too, they both sound good!
I think the HP fandom isn’t that active anymore, after 15 years people probably moved on, and it’s not like there is that much interesting new content being created
I would advise strongly separating Harry Potter from J.K. Rowling or you’re going to be buried in anti-trans and TERF based hate.
This seems like an addressable issue. Most HP communities these days usually have a “We condemn JKR’s transphobia” note pinned somewhere. Authors are not synonymous with their published works, and I think most people understand that.
Yup, but we saw how that worked out with the Hogwarts game… there were still issues. :(
