Thank you
In my experience, the best way to ask about unpopular (here, on Lemmy) stuff is to make a post in a generic community. Discoverability sucks here and not many people are on here too so niche communities are often deserted.
So, if you make a post on popular lemmies like this one, you have better chances to receive a helpful response. I'm not sure how the situation with writing communities is, maybe they are active enough to be of use for you!
Thank you !!
Define what is world building
Like creative writing for fictional worlds
There's a handful of communities on ttrpg.network that might be relevant:
- !worldwrecker@ttrpg.network
- !rpg@ttrpg.network
- !micro_maps@ttrpg.network
- !rpgcreation@ttrpg.network
- !askgamemasters@ttrpg.network
- !DMWorkshop@ttrpg.network
Etc etc
Ooh, some other ones occurred to me, some maybe only tangentially related:
- !plot-development@community.darkscribes.com
- !pathfinder@wanderingadventure.party (prolly better comms on this instance for worldbuilding questions, but I always have trouble getting some NodeBB comms to show up reliably lol)
- !fanfiction@literature.cafe
- !conlangs@mander.xyz
- !writing@beehaw.org
Thank you ^_^
