Non-tech background. I'm a book editor and when the Snoopocalypse happened, most of the niche communities I was a part of were shut down in protest, so I decided to give Lemmy a try. Loving it so far, as it seems way less toxic.
Hey, I'm an editor too. I'm disappointed I can't use reddit to network with authors anymore. Hopefully Lemmy will start some writing & editing communities soon!
Agreed! I've come across a couple of writing communities here, but they're still just starting out. Hopefully we'll be able to grow these communities. ๐ค
Come join us over at https://lemmy.world/c/writing !
There's [email protected] and [email protected] already. Still a little lacking in activity but they're growing.
Writers are here... just waiting for the community to take off, I think
