  • There are things like grammarly to help you with your grammar (and a tiny bit of style)

    Many writers and copy editors have YouTube channels and tiktoks with tips and tricks. For example, you can look for how to show instead of tell on YouTube and you’ll see a few.

    Brandon Sanderson has a whole bunch of them on wold creation

    If you decide to ‘train’ with fan fiction, you can give wattpad a try to publish your stories and see how people like them












  • Keeping in mind that I’m also a noob in all this…

    You automatically get access and visibility to all the communities in the instance you register in. You can also search for communities in other instances, but those have to be ‘added manually’.

    So, you registered in Server A. When you go to local, you see all communities on that server.

    If you go to All, you see all the local communities plus those that have been discovered (either searched or subscribed) by you or a fellow member of server A.

    You can go to server B, manually and check their local communities. Then, back in your own server you search for it using the full thingy (!community@serverb.com) After a bit (time for the Server A to cache it) the community will appear on your search, and you’ll be able to subscribe to it from Server A.

    You can also, in web browser, use the full link to the community based on your Server. So https…serverA.com\c\community@serverb

    Anything you can interact with (subscribe, comment) will always be done through Server A, and the software in the background will do what it has two to reflect it in the original Server



  • Jerboa doesn’t take me to the comment directly but I’m going to assume this is the one lol

    It was part of the annoucement .

    After reading many comments I think my ‘outrage’ came, as it often does, from misunderstanding. Also, because when singing up most people say don’t overthink it, it doesn’t matter much. But now I’m seeing that it does matter to sign up for an instance with like minded people. As I see more of what seems to be the drive behind beehaw, it doesn’t really resonate with what I want, but that doesn’t make it wrong. It is ok for that group of people. We just need to make sure that communities of general interest that were taking off there because they were one of the largest instances are also present in a more open and accessible place, so we are not restricted to collaborate.
