I heard of and signed up to AO3 (https://archiveofourown.org/) but it looks predominantly for ~~smut~~ fan fiction so idk if that's useful.
I’m thinking of like something that has a weekly prompt or something & people can read/ comment on your posts?
Look at comms on !411@literature.cafe (https://literature.cafe/) where there's a creative writing comm, and a Writing Prompts comm, and some others.
AO3 is not predominantly smut. It allows smut. So people go there to find it. But most works aren't smut. And it has a really powerful filtering system, so you can find what you want.
Most of the time I go there for humour.
AO3 takes original works no worries
My first thought was writing opinion pieces for new sites. Just make shit up seems to be the main strategy.
But maybe you're looking for something more like the reddit group. You could start something here for the same thing.
!writingprompts@literature.cafe
Linkedin - its all made up but they could use something creative.
There's an app on f-droid called hammer that's basically an open source version of world anvil
There is !nanowrimo2@feddit.online that was prompting people to journal so not exactly what you are after but the trackbear app that was used is handy for tracking progress and maybe there’s other communities similar for creative writing.
I read a lot on RoyalRoad, so maybe try their writing prompts?
If you like creative writing in general and want to interact with others through it, you could always look into play-by-post rpgs? There's a whole subcultures around them online and the english speaking player base is probably the largest (and I'm talking about the free side of it, not those using dnd mechanics and such)
It's UI is outdated, nice way of saying it's fucked, but writing.com has a thriving community. I even won a short story award on there once.
Mastodon has a lot of writing prompt posts, especially if you like poetry and shorter bits of writing.
