Why isn't there a Harry Potter-themed Lemmy instance yet? (lemmy.world)

It's one of the first things I would expect from a site like this. I know that J.K. Rowlings views are very controversial to put it mildly, but:

  1. The fandom/books are not the author
  2. Harry Potter will become a part of the Fediverse at some point anyways - better to support it early on and shape its developing rather than having a company build a H.P. social network on top of the fediverse, which will be to our disadvantage
  3. In terms of potential users, this could be huge for the threadiverse
  4. We are in the Fediverse: defederation is always a possibility

Or was it just never tried before / no one wanted to yet?

People who are part of the Fediverse are generally progressive, which is why they are here to begin with instead of facebook/Xitter/reddit.
People who are progressive generally don't like people who don't like trans people.

This is just anecdotally, but it there seems to be much higher than average rate of trans persons on the fediverse.

I think it's just that trans people will find it easier to transition from one dying platform to a beautiful new one. (I'm so sorry, but you basically set up the punchline for me, I'll show myself out now.)

I approve of this humorous framing.
