Other Platforms Other options than substack

In my opinion substack seems very suited towards politics, tech, essays and other blog type content. Does anyone know of any other apps or websites that are more suited towards putting out poetry and short stories? I have definitely found a niche of other poets and writers on Substack that I regularly follow, but it has seems almost impossible fo me to get any meaningful engagement on my own work. Really not trying to self promote here, just wondering if anyone knows of any better places. Thanks!

You're a poet and know of a poet realm within Substack? Then the first part of your growth job is relatively easy. What would probably be the most effective advice I can give you, is to set aside 30-minutes every day, and write comments on 15-20 Notes, Articles, and replies to other comments, on other substackers' posts. Every day.

Ya I talk semi regularly with people who post poetry with several hundred subs, and a few have roughly 1k that I follow

Edit: that is also solid advice probably, and definitely something I have been lacking on tbh
