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?

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.
Aside from a different name, what would floonet provide that diagonlemmy does not? We’ve already spent effort growing the original communities. Why abandon it and start over?
I think images are important and on diagonlemmy, I dont want to try to add images and break stuff.
I’m not sure, I think the effort to move the community wouldnt be that hard I think. First crossposting to both, then moving to ghe other. I also think that many would come along and so the work already put in wouldnt have been wasted.
But yeah, it may be unnecessarily risky.
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
But look alone how much buzz Hogwarts legazy created. Actually, I think if the Fediverse would do it right, this could be the thing to make us mainstream.
Yes, there are many other fandoms out there, but its still popular enough, even among boomers and millenials. You need to remember we need to get them aboard too and Harry Potter could be the least common denominator here.
And for my generation, it also has a certain provoking edge to it, with which to distinct us from our “woke” milenial parents, who abandonded Harry Potter for its author.
