I feel like most of the writing communities are also pretty inactive. I’m not sure why. I liked reading short stories on Reddit, and I don’t like looking at memes. I’m not sure whether it’s a good thing (because I don’t use Lemmy as often that way) or a bad thing.
I guess I could spam them with public-domain stories or reposts or something, but I feel like that’s just losing the plot.
To be honest, I was thinking about ones where people uploaded short stories to the platform. I guess if you want a community focused on the act of writing, you have [email protected] and [email protected], which are about discussions about writing generally and writing furry stories respectively, and there are probably others that I’m too lazy to find.
Anyways, I am not the best person to find writing communities in general. For example, I literally found this post today, which lists a bunch of communities for short stories. I’m going to list them in order of most to least active, as well as adding my own findings (of communities of short stories where fiction could be appreciated).
So there are some.
Overall, it seems like I probably should have remembered literature.cafe as a whole existed when I made the first post. It also has a community for writing prompts.
