the HP fandom isn’t that active anymore

I think it only seems this way due to the small size of the fediverse. If you dip into The Site Which Must Not Be Named, r/harrypotter and r/HarryPotterMemes still get dozens of posts per day. The memes are endless, and there’s a new TV series coming out in the next couple years. The HP fandom is definitely still active, and if we want to grow the fediverse (#fedigrow), we can definitely benefit from this.

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.

unlike SpaceX , they haven’t blown up 2 entire rockets to do it, which saves my tax dollars

Haven’t SpaceX done all of those tests on their own dime? I’m pretty sure all of their government contracts are fixed-price, not cost-plus.

This seems like an addressable issue. Most HP communities these days usually have a “We condemn JKR’s transphobia” note pinned somewhere. Authors are not synonymous with their published works, and I think most people understand that.

Aside from a different name, what would floonet provide that diagonlemmy does not? We’ve already spent effort growing the original communities. Why abandon it and start over?

There is no permanent “dark side” of the moon, but the “far side” of the moon (always faces away from Earth) is precisely the location proposed in the article.

That’s us. That’s home.

Nope, his name is Alec Watson!

He’s on the fediverse as well: https://mas.to/@TechConnectify/with_replies

Who is Rob?

Great opportunity to promote a small topic-specific instance:

!harry_potter@diagonlemmy.social (for serious posts)

!leaky_cauldron@diagonlemmy.social (for memes and casual chat)

Translation: Are you sure?

Can you even tell which of my comments came from Lemmy.World, and which comments didn’t?

Yes. Yes we can.

Currently, higher pressure comes at the cost of reduced mobility. You’re essentially fighting the suit whenever you close your fist or bend your knees.

then spend time in a decompression chamber once they re-enter the station

Really? I thought going from low pressure to high pressure wasn’t a big deal. Also, wouldn’t that be recompression, rather than decompression?

HAAAAAAAAAAAA

YOUR CAMERA

IS

TRAAAAASH

i’m sorry but what kinda pictures you gonna take with that shit

gonna be some joe niépce shit where you spend all day takin a damn photo with a goddam blanket on your head and it turns out lookin like a bunch of rectangles

A person of culture, I see :)

flexible for the division remain and leap years

They’ve already got a plan for this. 13 months, each with 28 days (four weeks), gives us 364 days. New Years Day and Leap Year Day are added as extra holidays which are outside of the named day/month system.

Ah, thanks for these. I wasn’t sure where people went after fedditde shut down.

Did the fedditde boardgames community move to !boardgames@feddit.org?

Edit: Doesn’t look like it. Is there a general board games community?

It makes budgeting easier

I suppose so, but it would be even easier if months all had a fixed number of days, wouldn’t it?
