I was a huge fan of the Harry Potter series growing up. Order of the Phoenix was my absolute favourite.
Slightly off topic but, yay more niche focused instances! :D
I’m planning to keep this as a personal instance for experimentation. Running an instance for people takes a lot of time and responsibility and i don’t think i have much of either right now. 😜
Setting it up made me appreciate how complicated the Lemmy setup is and also how little original literature-related content there is in the lemmyverse. Whenever feasible I’ll try to contribute code/docs to Lemmy and content to literature.cafe. You’re doing a great job with this instance. There’s no reason for me to run a shitty alternative until you decide to return to Bikini Bottom.
100%, lemmy is so freaking frustrating in the way it is now. Whatever you're comfortable with is what's best! It was a pain in the ass to set up this instance. Thankfully it's gotten easier with the past few updates. I am very hopeful for lemmys growth and making more niche focused communities is extremely important to it's growth in my opinion.
Know that if things do grow more and you change your mind and decide to open things up, know that I'd support you 100%. Obviously, you don't need my blessing or support but spreading things out and embracing decentralization across the fediverse is something I will always be down with. I know there's probably going to be more pause in the future in regards to making alternatives to existing niche communities on lemmy but it's always good to have choice and just have things spread out. There is no competition here, we're all federated together.
Thanks for the support, gabe. That’s a very healthy approach to the Fediverse.
