I created https://CoWriteStory.com/ last year, it is a platform for people to cooperatively write stories.
I was sending lots of private messages to r/WritingPrompts/ users, and got tons of positive feedback but reddit blocked my account and keep blocking my new accounts.
it is a good product but like lots of developers I failed at marketing and attracting users!
I'm the developer of a few writing apps, and I've tried this approach, you get shut down really quick if you create an account and advertise your app on most forums. I got banned on a lot of them right out of the gate.
Instead try searching for reddit threads on r/writing looking for writing apps, and reply there.
You can also make a twitter account and follow all the thousands of nanowrimo groups and writers groups on there. Most will follow you back and you'll get some traffic
I haven't bothered with Facebook yet (I suck at self-promo) but I'm sure its similar
spamming users with private messages ???!! ;)
I actually wasn't spamming, I was sending selected users a request for feedback!
maybe people started to report it!
