I would never call LW cool, but I get what you're saying. I think the problem is that its moment has passed. There was only a single moment in human history where people thought that Harry Potter fan fiction could change the world, and however snide that sounds, I don't mean it as an insult. I knew many people who were profoundly impacted by their time in that fandom (and yes, even as it moved away from its roots in fan fiction it was still fundamentally a fandom). What happened is that the internet changed and fandom changed, and also trends in philosophy for young lonely nerds shifted away from that particular brand of rationality, to places both sunnier and darker. I think if you want to find spaces like that you now have to look either in closed Discord server or more likely offline. Substack certainly does not provide the same kind of community.
