    Well, as always I’ll recommend our small existing community !harrypotter@literature.cafe

    Literature.cafe is a lovely instance, Gabe the admin is a very nice person.

    Good luck with your instance, I’ll probably visit

    There is !harrypotter@literature.cafe if you want to join. There is some activity at the moment, but not enough to go for a dedicated instance.

    Also, as the other comments have shown, the bigotry of the author does not help.

    Hey, Good Luck with your endeavors. Beware of mob brigading and “canceling” you. There is already !harrypotter@literature.cafe Make sure you have at least one or two moderators with additional technical sysadmin that will keep the instance up.

    I think the biggest challenge at the start will be keeping community alive. I know from experience that if you are the only person posting it is disheartening, and it leads to very fast burnout.

    Hi doccod, thanks for the reply!

    • !spacex@lemmy.world have consolidated to !spacex@sh.itjust.works
    • @kersploosh@lemmy.world and I consolidated !theyknew@lemmy.world to !theyknew@lemmy.sdf.org
    • The main bertstrips community was !bertstrips@lemm.ee, but with the impending closure of that instance, there is discussion on where to relocate. No decision yet, but PieFed and Mbin seem to be leading contenders. !bertstrips@lemmy.world could either become or point to the main bertstrips community.
    • ULA’s launch cadence is not very frequent right now, and I’m not sure there is enough news to sustain a vibrant community. I am thinking of consolidating it to a more general community like !spaceflight@sh.itjust.works, until such time as ULA’s launch cadence or Lemmy’s userbase increases. Thoughts?
    • Harry Potter on Lemmy is currently in flux. The main community was !leaky_cauldron@diagonlemmy.social, but that instance is closing, and the community consolidated to !harrypotter@literature.cafe. That community is currently in discussion on moderation guidelines. As with bertstrips, !harrypotter@lemmy.world could become or point to the main Harry Potter community on Lemmy.
    • For !disney@lemmy.world, I plan to post some news and memes, but I currently have my hands full with the Harry Potter and lemm.ee situations. Additional posts (and moderators, if interested) on c/disney are most welcome.

    Let me know if you have any further questions or thoughts.

    Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !harrypotter@literature.cafe

    To put in concrete terms: I wouldn’t have any problem to create a HP community on a topic-specific instance like https://metacritics.zone. @blue_berry@lemmy.world, would you be interested in that? I can make you mod if you want.

    Keep it easy, I think a community such as !harrypotter@literature.cafe is more than sufficient for now

    You should just need to write !harrypotter@literature.cafe in the comment box, and the link is generated automatically. Should work in both Lemmy and kbin at least, not sure about mbin but would make sense that it works there as well. :)

    Yeah well i don’t think they should lock that community if the mod doesn’t want it to be locked. Do you really think that would be right? Should i go and demand the solarpunk bird community to be locked because world’s is more active? I think it’d be pretty bad if they did, not that i think they would.

    It’s up to debate, but to me if the mod isn’t active for the community (e.g. posting regularly), they should ask for someone else to take up that role. And if nobody wants the role, and there is another active community to redirect too, it could be nice to lock the inactive community down and redirect to the active one.

    I mod a few inactive communities (such as !harrypotter@literature.cafe ). If someone came to me and said “hey, we’ve been trying to get our own HP community active, you already have some people on yours, would you mind locking yours down as you don’t seem to actively mod it, and redirect to ours?” I would definitely do it.

    Also i don’t think that user you called out is part of world’s staff.

    They are not, but at the same time the LW rules still allow them to namesquat that community.

    The paradox of choice is something you have deal with in the fediverse i guess, starts at choosing a server. I don’t think it should be that big of a deal, as long as communities can be found from the instances internal search.

    For the instance, as long as you take the big ones (LW, lemm.ee, SJW, dbzer0, lemmy.ca, etc.), your experience will indeed be the same. To know which community to post too, this is a different story, and I’ve seen a lot of people telling me “I stay on Reddit because when I when to post about a topic, there’s a clear community where to. On Lemmy, there are two or three active communities competing for the same topic, and it’s just confusing”. Of course we should keep different communities for different folks (no one would consider merging lemmy.ml communities with LW’s), but we can also reduce the confusion for a few core topics that can help new joiners to get settled

    I still don’t think they keep us from being upgraded to be mean.

    They are not, but as I said earlier, LW is so large than they have to be extra cautious with their updates. If they would be 20% of the total Lemmy population, and 30 of the top 100 communities compared to now, they would probably be more at ease with “me can mess up a bit, it’s okay”. Having them as a cornerstone of the whole platform puts them constantly under the spotlight.
