I want to respond to writing prompts, but from a separate account. That way, if someone enjoys a story, they can scroll through my (alt account’s) history for more writing without needing to dig through all of the dramatic, vitriolic, shit-stirring my main account will be regularly diving into.

I was wondering if one of you wonderful people was familiar with some corner of the Fediverse perfect for this sort of use? Or would you recommend I create the account here on Lemmy?

  • If I do go outside of Lemmy, I want to go somewhere capable of commenting on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world posts (in particular, commenting in the WritingPrompts communities on those servers).
  • I would prefer to join a public instance, like I did when I signed up for Mastodon and Lemmy.
  • Note: as mentioned above I have used Lemmy and Mastodon so far.

So: is there a part of the Fediverse I ought to be examining for this? WriteFreely, for example? Micro.blog perhaps?

    Definitely NOT writefreely. It is a nice tool, if you want to have a minimalistic blog others on the fediverse can follow, but it is extremly bad at interacting with literally anything, yet. (This might change in the future, but at the moment, WF is not really made for your use case.)

      Thank you kindly. I feel like this answer supplements Samurai’s answer really well and gives a solid illustration of their point when they said,

      I’ve looked over the other options, and they’re pretty meh tbh, for a writer in specific.

      Now I know what’s so “meh” about at least one of them.
