Welcome to !worldbuilding@lemmygrad.ml! This is a place to share, discuss, and develop fictional worlds for writing, visual art, game development, or just creating them for fun! Worldbuilding is an important part of creating fiction and I’d love to see what my comrades have created! It doesn’t have to specifically be socialist or leftist worlds, any genre is fine as long as the broader Lemmygrad rules are followed, though I suspect a lot of us will be posting about socialist worlds.

I really hope I can help kick off a socialist writing community on Lemmygrad!

Also, if anyone who’s a long-time Lemmygrad user wants to help moderate, hit me up!

    This is a great idea. I’d be happy to put my first efforts at writing fiction toward this end.

    How do I avoid getting doxxed? I have a couple of worldbuilding pieces, but unfortunately I’ve shared them elsewhere, and due to the unfortunate habit of oversharing, it all can be traced (pretty easily) to my IRL self. I’d like to avoid it, but also to share with the comrades for criticism and assistance

      This is unfortunately something I worry about as well. Luckily the only accounts I shared my words with is not tied to my real identity, but yeah it could be a pretty big issue if you don’t want people to know you’re communist.

        It’s less about people learning I’m a communist, and more about redditoids and general libs from the fediverse finding me and doing what these types do. Maybe if I change some of the names

          Yeah that’s a concern for me too. I haven’t experienced any personal attacks from Lemmy or Reddit but you never know.

      I’ve tried to separate my real identity and lemmygrad identity by creating different worlds for the different personas, but I do have a tendency to overshare, too. So I just cross my fingers and hope I’m never important enough to land on somebody’s radar.
