Can somebody recommend good instances that run #writefreely?
@baschi29 Glad you asked -- I love Write.freely, and Coralie is also a user, so lots of opinions and experience here.
A full listing of WF nodes is here : https://fediverse.network/writefreely?count=users
This is sorted by Users, larger first. The offered conditions do vary -- so it pays to read a bi and shop around.
I do use a couple.
My tech blog is at TeDomum.net, a French instance, I like it. But they only allow one Blog. Maybe that's ok for most people, and less complicated.
If more than one Blog (say, separated by themes -- photo, poetry, travel, etc) is considered, then visiting the instance and seeing their terms is the way to find the best.
I do recommend Wordsmith.social -- they allow up to 10 blogs, per user, which is very generous.
Stay away from the largest instance on that list, write.as -- as they need to cover their company costs, and the only offered free service is very limited, a single one. And then all are added costs, monthly.
Good luck, and ask any questions if you like.
There's also Plume, which is similar to WF, but has some differences. I have an account but prefer WF, for aesthetic reasons. For a new user though, Plume offers in-instance image hosting, something that makes it easier for them if they want to use images in their pages.

#rgxJournal @globcoco anything to add ?
Ideally with focus on poetry, I'm trying to convince my sister to start posting hers somewhere. A list with possible instances would also be good, I couldn't find one.
