MODERATORS

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

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?

I agree with @[email protected], keeping the existing community would be better as it already has a quite large audience.

I'm curious about the images thing: were they always disabled, or did it happen recently?

It was like that from the beginning. I didn't want to deal with the image related stuff, moderation, server space, etc. But I think it has limited the growth of the instance significantly. Basically everybody that signed up for the instance never posted anything, this way it never ended up on the joinlemmy page. It feels to me like the instance is stuck because of it.

On that topic, do you have another admin that can take over if needed? That might be why people are a bit reluctant to use your instance as the main one

About the pictures, maybe you can try to reach out to other admins on Matrix ( #lemmy-support-general:discuss.online )?
