@anikeaten Most of them never moved over. It's been an ongoing issue trying to rebuild the community on here #litworldproblems

Maybe it's still happening. But maybe writers, you have to love them, appreciate the ease of a prepackaged network that they could slip into, like the back of a class without being noticed until they decide to participate.

They don't want to build the classroom and the desks themselves.

I complain a lot about how #literarytwitter never migrated to Mastodon, but if you actually look back, you can find a lot of people who did create accounts in the November 2022 event—they just didn't stay. Probably because the literary community as a network didn't exist.

So that raises the question: at what point did the literary community develop on Twitter? It didn't exist ab initio, it developed over time. But that didn't happen here. Why?

#litworldproblems #literarycommunity

How can I grassroots build an indie lit community on Mastodon? I have a few ideas but I can use some help (open to everybody ofc):

1. More specific hashtags. Some of the general ones are spammy.

2. Dedicate my account to promoting the community 24/7. Somewhat unappealing to me, I'm lazy and I don't want to sacrifice myself especially if it never materializes.

3. Just do better about finding people. Maybe new text search will help?

#literarytwitter #litworldproblems #writingcommunity

The writing community on Mastodon really spams all the related hashtags.

Even if a community similar to the one on Twitter could coalesce using a hashtag, that would get spammed too. So this platform is never going to be an effective way to share work and discover new people effectively.

About the #litworldproblems, I don't have a lot of hope that this second migration is going to solve that.

I never did an #introduction back in November, let's go:

Hi, I'm Anthony Michael Morena. I'm a freelance editor, writer, and author of THE VOYAGER RECORD: A TRANSMISSION.

I moved back to NYC last year after 13 years in Tel Aviv. I post about living in #Queens, trying not to die while I #BikeNYC, and #litworldproblems, a big one being the lack of literary community here to talk about #litmags #CNF #hybridwriting #submissions.

I'm also an avid #MagicTheGathering player but see my alt @MTG3K.

Wake me up if literary Twitter gets here.

#literarytwitter #litworldproblems

Should I submit the new version of my book to the publisher that has already form rejected two previous versions of it?

#Submissions #litworldproblems #writinglife

Remember the time I wrote to the famous poetess and asked her to talk about her filing system?

I did not hear back.

I can't respect the aesthetic, but at least they're clear about what they don't want.

You know there aren't a lot of writers on Mastodon when the #MFA hashtag is all about multi-factor authentication instead of drama

Yesterday I submitted my first piece of writing since the start of the pandemic. It was nice to be back in that headspace again, but I haven't been able to bring myself to do any of the paying writing/editing I do for work since then.
