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?

But look alone how much buzz Hogwarts legazy created. Actually, I think if the Fediverse would do it right, this could be the thing to make us mainstream.

Yes, there are many other fandoms out there, but its still popular enough, even among boomers and millenials. You need to remember we need to get them aboard too and Harry Potter could be the least common denominator here.

And for my generation, it also has a certain provoking edge to it, with which to distinct us from our "woke" milenial parents, who abandonded Harry Potter for its author.

Interesting, I'm a millennial myself, I always thought that later generations just dropped HP altogether

I think its a bit complicated. For example, there was a big buzz when all H.P. novels were included in Netflix. On the other hand many queer people literally hate J.K. Rowling. But from all people that I know who read reguarly, I would say most persons have read Harry Potter.
