Hey everyone,
I started a couple of Harry Potter themed communities focused on various Harry Potter Ships, they’re based off of the Subreddits with the same names, and I’m looking for some potential moderators to help manage them, as well as some potential users.
Drarry:
https://literature.cafe/c/drarry
For fans of Harry Potter x Draco Malfoy
HarryandGinny:
https://literature.cafe/c/harry_and_ginny
For fans of Harry Potter x Ginny Weasley

For fans of Harry Potter x Hermione Granger
Hello,
The current most active community is [email protected], maybe you can start posting there first? It’s not a very popular topic on Lemmy, so your posts should get good visibility
I actually originally applied for an account on leaky_cauldron, but I never got a response back, so instead I decided to make one on Literature.Cafe
Yes, the admin on diagonlemmy isn’t very reactive.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that diagonlemmy feels somewhat dead?
Like, all of the posts only have one upvote, and the whole community just doesn’t feel very active, at least IMO.
Alright so I just manually parsed the comments theree: https://literature.cafe/post/16567061
The federation seems to be a bit clunky between your instance and that community.
Even beyond the federation issues, that’s unfortunately the level of activity for HP on Lemmy at the moment. I’ve been trying to post there every few days, but I’m mostly the only one with @[email protected]
We can usually quite a few votes and some comments, but that’s it. You can maybe create a post there to promote your communities as well. The community still has 532 subscribers, all of them interested by HP, so you might find a few people into ships
This post had 93 votes: https://lemmy.cafe/post/12021854
Let me check from your instance
Yeah. There are a lot of trans and queer users around here, and anything to do with the High Transphobe of TERF Island is bound to get a bit of the cold shoulder.
And rightly so.
I completely understand where you’re coming from.
I happen to be Queer myself (MtF, Pansexual, although all of my life, I have been forced to present as Male.)
Where I am coming from is:
1.) As the other commenter mentioned, there’s no monetary value for JKR for there to be HP-Themed communities.
2.) By making Fics, “non-canon” pairings, Fan-Art, etc., YOU control the initiative.
I.e, you want Harry to be gay, make him gay, want him to be trans, BAM!, now he’s Trans.
You can make him Gay /Straight/Black/White/Fat/Slim/Good/Evil/etc.
Same thing with all of the other characters.
Don’t let JKR win by ruining it for you.
3.) It’s not like I set up a requirement that everyone who joins has to donate to a gofundme for JKR, Joining and participating is COMPLETELY free.
IDK, just my two cents.
Yes there is, because it helps keep her relevant
That community is doing okay. From an ethical perspective, the author doesn’t get any benefit from us posting meme or fan arts about that universe.
That’s totally ok. I know there are critiques of that, but by and large I don’t agree with them.
It’s just that thinking about Harry Potter stuff makes me think of the wicked witch of the TERFs, and that makes me sad. And angry.
And I need to save my anger for other stuff right now.
Well that’s people voting with their feet which is their right.
The same way people who like potter have right to do their sin in peace in a some corner of fedi.
