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

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?

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_[email protected], would you be interested in that? I can make you mod if you want.

Keep it easy, I think a community such as [email protected] is more than sufficient for now

Oh, if the community exists already even better.
