Community dedicated to the world of Harry Potter.

Mostly focused on books and fan creations, movie content is accepted but should not overwhelm the community.

Discussions about JKR are allowed.

Between:

jkrowling@lemmy.blahaj.zone – focused on J.K. Rowling herself (but not HP fandom talk),

harrypotter@lemmy.zip – for discussing the HP universe, while condemning transphobia but steering clear of Rowling-related non-HP topics,

and this community (harrypotter@literature.cafe) – focusing primarily on books and fan creations, with limited space for movies and open Rowling discussion,

…it’s clear a lot of care has gone into keeping each space clear and purposeful.


That said, I was wondering:

Have the mods ever considered creating a fourth Harry Potter community specifically dedicated to memes—similar to Reddit’s r/HarryPotterMemes?

This could help lighten the load on the main discussion communities, which sometimes get bogged down (at least, IMHO) with meme posts.

A dedicated memes space might allow more focused discussions here, while giving meme content its own breathing room.


Or, do the current user numbers on Lemmy make that kind of separation unnecessary for now?

Reddit obviously has a much larger user base, so perhaps it's not yet practical.


Thanks for all the work you put into these communities—I’d love to hear your thoughts.

We had !leakycauldron@diagonlemm.ee (or similar) as a dedicated fun and fluff community, but the server shut down and most people flooded over here. Not sure if we hugged this community against their will? I'd vote for a dedicated fun community but lemmy's a small town and two dedicated dead communities is not the most desireable thing.

!harrypotter@lemmy.zip is mostly memes, so I don't think @threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works would mind more memes there
