Is Simily Stepping Up?

Tales from 9 weeks on the platform

I’ve been chronicling my journey publishing fiction on Simily for nine weeks now.

Simily Stagnation?

Last week, I wrote about stagnation on the platform. The growth remains slow. As of today, they still have less than 3200 members. I’ve read stories on Medium of writers who started there and have since left. The biggest complaint: Lack of engagement.

This is to be expected on a platform with just over 3000 members.

I’ve posted five stories there and gotten some engagement on each post, but that has slipped in recent weeks.

For reference, here’s my most viewed story on Simily so far:

Birds of Pray - Simily

I’ve taken to reposting my fiction here on Medium, too. I’ve actually earned slightly more from Medium engagement on these same posts.
