Hey, Good Luck with your endeavors. Beware of mob brigading and "canceling" you. There is already [email protected] 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.
Yeah, I think so, too. I fear that Harry Potter memes could play a crutial part here, but I'm not yet confortable enough to enable images. Let's see how it goes ...
You can use an external image host in the meantime (like imgur or catbox.moe, unfortunately I don't know of any "open" solutions)
Already figured that one out myself but thanks anyways. Yeah, would be nice to have an open alternative there
Very true
