What social media sites/platforms seem to be the best nowadays for following/interfacing with authors? As in, where are fiction writers congregating online nowadays? Social media? Siloed into personal Discord channels? TikTok? Other???
I used to follow a bunch of people on Twitter but kinda fell out of the social media game for a few years due to personal life stuff, and now trying to get back into it, it feels like everything is on fire (in a bad way). I don’t want to go back to Facebook and Twitter for obvious reasons. Lemmy is cool, but super, super niche.
Mastodon and Bluesky might be good places to start.
back in the day it felt like authors sometimes had accounts on Goodreads, but I don’t know that this is still true … Bluesky does seem like a good recommendation, it seems like a lot of people on Bluesky are writers.
I think there’s a large community of writers on Substack, but substack is kinda shoddy so…
You could check out Mastodon ( this instance, for example ) or WriteFreely
You can look up servers here
