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:

The fandom/books are not the author

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

In terms of potential users, this could be huge for the threadiverse

We are in the Fediverse: defederation is always a possibility

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

Copy/paste from the main post:

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.

Also, I feel like the average demo of Lemi is older, and Harry Potter is YA. Not that adults can't enjoy it, but they aren't the target audience
