Thanks also for your support with all the memes. It would have been a much quieter and boring place without you :) Good luck on harrypotter@literture.cafe

 

The community moved to https://literature.cafe/c/harrypotter.

Sounds good 👍 (I can do it)

 

Hi everyone,

as you may have noticed, I currently do not have time to spend on the server as is necessary for a lemmy instance (moderation, the occasional post, updating lemmy software). So, I decided that it would be better to close the server and instead spend the money on the infrastructure of Lemmy itself. This means you have 2 months to find a new community for H.P., which shouldn't be a problem and has already happened in parts (see https://diagonlemmy.social/post/104129).

Thanks for all the support and the many posts, it was really fun creating this place on the Fediverse with you guys!

PS: The community decided to move to https://literature.cafe/c/harrypotter :)

Hi, I'm currently not really able to monitor the instance. Maybe better migrate to a more reliable instance. Sorry :( (I'm just looking in occasionally)

I guess mastodon.social? Its not only the Brazilians, its also BTS army, and the japanese community. They also went to Bluesky instead of Fedi. Maybe the fediverse is too euro-centric?

Maybe at some point swifties could join the Fediverse?

"Bluesky has managed to grow significantly bigger than the fediverse at this point, with around 5 times as many monthly active users, as well as onboarding the Brazilian community. It seems to me that it is worth reflecting on why that is, and how the fediverse can better show itself as a good, ethical social network that people would like to join."

Yeah, why is that? On the one hand, LGBTQ is strong in the Fediverse, and tech nerds of course. But other than that ... the Fediverse never had this kind of cultural momentum.

Thats sad. I'm sure mozilla could have pushed the Fediverse

I read it only in parts. Apparantly, there actually is a dollar-galleons-exchange rate carried out by Gringots.

"Consider first the Galleon–Dollar exchange rate (i.e. the exchange rate between the muggles’ money and the wizards’ money), which is not mentioned explicitly in the original 7-volume Harry Potter books, but we know from the books that the Gringotts handles such exchanges (Rowling, 1999a, p. 50). Based on information from three sources, we estimate that the Galleon–Dollar exchange rate is about $7.30/Galleon."

The best of these sources is Rowling herself I think: "Third, in an interview on March 12, 2001, when asked by Rebecca Boswell, ‘What is the approximate value of a galleon?’ J.K. Rowling’s reply was ‘About five pounds, though the exchange rate varies!’ (Source: https://www.hp-lexicon.org/2007/02/04/wizard-money/, accessed June 6, 2022.) We conclude therefore that the Galleon–Dollar exchange rate is about $7.30/Galleon."

Arthur Wesley after all also bought a muggle car and bewitched it.

I read the books. But yeah, the name could have been improved ... just Wiz Tech for example.
