I'm creating a new, Harry Potter-themed Community - anybody interested in helping to moderating it? (lemmy.world)

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?

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.

Do images not work? I've been posting images and they seem fine...

Edit: Oh, I just realized that the images don't federate, and just appear like this:

Edit2: If you want to implement images, and need a new server to do it, that seems reasonable. An alternative would be to consolidate to [email protected], which already has image support and existing subscribers. If you are set on a separate HP server, you should see if floo.net or floonet.works is available. Could be funner than the .social TLD.

Edit3: I have to ask: If diagonlemmy currently has no image support, what purpose was [email protected] intended to serve? 99% of memes are image macros.

Oh, you didn't know. Yeah, its really better to use imgur for the time being on diagonlemmy. Its makeshift I know ...

For me, shit.just.works took the most out of that TLD than anybody ever can ;) Sadly, floo.net is already taken but I also own floonet.world. It emphasizes the global aspect of the community.

It wasn't a consistent decision :D I just thought, hey, what communities would be fun here, and created them.
