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 think images are important and on diagonlemmy, I dont want to try to add images and break stuff.

Do images not work? I've been posting images and they seem fine...

Edit: Oh, I just realized that the images don't federate, and just appear like this:

Edit2: If you want to implement images, and need a new server to do it, that seems reasonable. An alternative would be to consolidate to !harrypotter@literature.cafe, which already has image support and existing subscribers. If you are set on a separate HP server, you should see if floo.net or floonet.works is available. Could be funner than the .social TLD.

Edit3: I have to ask: If diagonlemmy currently has no image support, what purpose was !harry_potter_memes@diagonlemmy.social intended to serve? 99% of memes are image macros.

Oh, you didn't know. Yeah, its really better to use imgur for the time being on diagonlemmy. Its makeshift I know ...

For me, shit.just.works took the most out of that TLD than anybody ever can ;) Sadly, floo.net is already taken but I also own floonet.world. It emphasizes the global aspect of the community.

It wasn't a consistent decision :D I just thought, hey, what communities would be fun here, and created them.
