Quite a few of the tools I personally decided to use aren't listed but a big +1 for this cool blog post nonetheless :)

I'll let anyone decide what's best for them. My opinion is that journaling does not need to be the most active community (it's not a practice relying on short term/constantly changing trends, for some like me it's a lifelong habit) but it does need to have enough activity to feel welcoming enough... which something it looks like I did not manage to initiate, so far. I would also say I consider journaling a very specific way of writing I would not wish to see it mixed with a more 'public-focused' type of writing. Also, we've seen more than a doubling (x3 maybe?) of the subscribers in the 6 months or so I started posting content. To me, that's saying there is a real interest for a dedicated community. And imho, with a little more patience, it may start to feel more lively.
But like I said, it's up to anyone to decide what they want to do it, and where. I'll keep an eye on the journaling community for the time being and hopefully I'll be able to quickly resume regular postings if no one else wants to do it, because like I keep saying: it's not my community, I don't own it. I'm just its janitor, trying to make it welcoming and get more people to visit and... use it ;)
Maybe !keepwriting@lemmy.world (not that it’s that much active either looking at it now)
That's a Lemmy issue, I'm afraid. We're not that many. And niche communities are the most impacted by that.
For personal reason, I had to stop my weekly post in our Journaling community. So, even though we're still getting new subscribers (nearing 600) there is not much new content/comments being posted. I don't know for how long I will too busy to post myself I hope others will keep occasionally posting ;)
I wonder what law/regulation the EU will sacrifice in order to appease the tiny orange pouting?
Not often but I also barely use my phone, so ;)
One of the hardest of his strips I can think of. Very impressive too.
gotta say i’m a bit deflated. you built up so much weirdo energy that i expected a payoff. we were on the verge of putting the lotion in the basket. we could have been so much more
All things must come to an end, even the most beautiful stories. Plus, to be 100% honest with you, I just met that cute Dutch cheese lover...

I will take that as a compliment ;)
They usually have plenty of options.
Plenty options, are you sure about that? ;)
um… cheese?
Wait? What? You were not supposed to say... Well, ok. Fine. Doesn't matter. I will have another glass of wine instead.
why do i feel like you wear masks in private?
I don't know (and I don't know probably because I don't wear one and neither do I wear a mask in public btw, save when I have a cold) but I would like to know.
I somehow described myself in two and half sentences, in this discussion. Does that count and is that long enough?
this comment was generated by Libb, the first French English-speaking AI that’s as human-looking as anything French can be. It was trained on baguettes and wine—please, say ‘cheese’ in the next 20 seconds if you don’t want for Libb to give you a real French kiss.
Bowing in front of the one-person cheering crowd.
I just realized, you did not say 'cheese'? Come closer ;)
not at all.
