I like https://bloggingfordevs.com/ if you are a developer like me. You do not sound like you consider blogging, but you might change your mind after checking us out.

I’m not a developer. But I do blog. Will check y’all out.

Thanks!

Not very active yet but Gurlic does have a writing community.

We have articles too (with an editor and everything):

And publications as well, but this needs a lot more work:

The writing community feels a lot like DEV in that it's full of low quality, well-written articles.

Articles that are both low quality and well-written? What?

Yup. Beautiful, well thought out, but no value. The opposite of a HN comment. Here the comments are sloppily written out, but they have a lot of insight. Whereas on places like DEV it feels like a lot of the writing are marketing pieces, made to position the writer as an expert.

Scribophile is specifically for fiction and peer review.
