Sure, works fine for me
Not a problem :)
When I set it up, there was a bit of difficulty finding instances, or I would have picked one that's less congested. There's one at literature.cafe that gets some use as well.
Not inactive, just not active active. There's never anything to moderate, and I'm not prone to doing my writing on lemmy these days. Character limits make it somewhat annoying to fit things in. I favor longer fiction than I used to, particularly back on reddit. Since this account is exclusively for my pen name, and I'm a non entity, there's not much call to interact with things.
But I passively use lemmy plenty, and read everything in the community.

I had a dream about a more scifi version of this, and made it a rough draft for a short story
The only way it matters is if/when it is defederated by/from other instances.
That being said, some may or may not be more reliable than others, but that's a separate issue
Markor is an app for "notes", that just happens to be fully capable of using markdown, and can handle mid length writing (up to a couple of chapters).
While it doesn't sync with its own service, you can use any syncing apps to handle that. I use foldersync on my android devices, it syncs both ways from gdrive, my nas, and the sd card on each device it can be scheduled any way you want.
But, when you know you're going to get wordy, you open markor, type away, and do it at leisure since unless the device dies totally, it'll just save where you are if you close the app. When you're done, copy/paste back into your app/site and Bob's your uncle.
I use markor because it's well coded with no bugs I can find, it's open source, and it bloody well works. Standard markdown formatting, easy exports, easy to use. It's pretty much the most reliable app I've ever used, and by far the most reliable note/writing app
Pfft, just use markor to write anything longer than a paragraph.
Hell, I have to do an edit pass on my books to make sure I didn't pull too much inspiration.
My book series is based around a necromancer.
They do some things that are similar to healing.
But in terms of psychological necromancy, the best he can do is let you pet his flesh golem dog. Which, in fairness, is a damn good depression counter.
