Why isn't there a Harry Potter-themed Lemmy instance yet? (lemmy.world)

It's one of the first things I would expect from a site like this. I know that J.K. Rowlings views are very controversial to put it mildly, but:

The fandom/books are not the author
Harry Potter will become a part of the Fediverse at some point anyways - better to support it early on and shape its developing rather than having a company build a H.P. social network on top of the fediverse, which will be to our disadvantage
In terms of potential users, this could be huge for the threadiverse
We are in the Fediverse: defederation is always a possibility

Or was it just never tried before / no one wanted to yet?

In the aftermath of what? The community hasn't even formed and you are anxious about an imaginary problem?

The aftermath of the conflict you referred to in your previous comment.

Again, this would be in the chance some "conflict" happened.

Do you think it's reasonable that people shouldn't even try to go for the lower-hanging fruit because they see a potential conflict that will lead to some more work?
