It sure is a good thing the left spent the last 20 years building this "hate speech" catch-all legal framework that the right is now using to extort people who say mean things about them!

I’ve decided to add a number to my posts titles just to see how public I can be. I don’t want to spam the server too much, but I also don’t want to occupy the space if I have nothing to say. It’s a way for me to know if I should have a blog at all.
Speaking of which, after my first post I actually got spooked seeing that someone read it and reacted (・_・;). Even though my IF "game" isn’t complete yet, I am already scared of people judging it. I wager most creative minds are haunted by the phantom “I am afraid to disappoint others” to the point that their creations either remain hidden or unrealised forever.
Well, I let myself dwell on that fear for a moment too long, and then I decided to ignore it ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ. It will never go away for me, but that doesn't mean I should just give up on everything. Usually, to motivate myself I look at other creators that I follow, the ones that continue working on their projects no matter what. And their immortal advice is "write/work even just a little every day", it doesn't have to be perfect, all it needs to be is an attempt at making progress. I think they are right, it's the small steps that make a difference in the end.

Do not worry about spamming the server. The Virtual Private Server (VPS) that I have for the Instance is sufficient for thousands of users and we, at this time, have less then 100. This has been true for the two years I have maintained the Instance. As long as your posts comply with the Rules and TOS then feel free to post as often as you like, the Instance can handle it 😉. If you have any question about the Rules and TOS then feel free to ask. The most significant I to you would be my no marketing rule. Keep in mind that I allow individuals to promote their own and their friends and family's personal creative work as long as that does not promote a commercial product by a corporate entity. I cannot imagine anything you have mentioned so far would be in violation. I only bring this up so that you know that your own creative work would not be a violation.
We (this Instance) currently federates with 56,861 other Instances and 581 of them are Friendica. Friendica Instances tend to be better at staying up to date than most others though there are still many Friendica Instances running outdated to ancient versions of Friendica.
Why you have not been able to find them? I do not know. Some will not have open enrollment and some may choose not to advertise their Instance in the Global directory. I have been on a few that were just to unstable to use. Which was why I decided to setup this Instance. There have been ups and downs though I have learned and most of the big issues have been resolved though there are little issues that come from the Friendica code base that are still being worked out.
Many people these days seem to prefer Mastodon though I hate the micro blog format so it is not an option for me.

No, none at all.

Wow. I guess I am really bad at finding things xD.
I would not blame it on yourself. To be fair a lot of the Friendica Instances we federate with most likely are not Open Enrollment and others may not advertise on the official Friendica directory (this is an option that the administrator of an Instance can choose). I can see my Federation Stats in my Administrator's Section though it does not tell me specifics, such as the names of the nodes I federate with. So I could not tell you one way or the other which ones have Open Enrollment or not.
I started Rogue Project's Friendica because I was fed up with Meta and could not stand micro blogging (Mastodon) . I too had a very difficult time finding a Friendica Instance that was stable enough for daily use. Not that I put a lot of effort into it, I gave up in three days 😉. So I decided that If I could not find a stable Friendica Instance, then I would just use my own. At first I was going to make it just for Myself and Family and Friends but I decided that was a bit selfish so I opened it to the general public as well. So far I have had no real issues. I have to delete several marketing accounts most weeks because apparently painting that I do not allow Marketing accounts on the Home Screen, Sign Up Screen and TOS gets past some user's notice 😉.
The first year was kind of shaky as I had a lot to learn about Friendica in General. Though I am an experienced System's Administrator and Developer that does not mean I just automatically know everything about all software everywhere (like the experts on TV do 😀).
It is nice to have you here and I hope you post frequently. I want to hear more about your story. Honestly I am not into the horror genre, but I love choose your path stories, so if it has an interesting plot I will likely enjoy it despite it not being a genre I would naturally prefer.

Per the HR employee evaluation website, on average I spend 25% of my week in technical or project management meetings. I spend another 20% trying to translate waterfall designs and deadlines provided by customers into tiny chunk tasks, each representing "a day's work", while I have to learn a new project management tool (or new interface to an old tool) every six months. I actually accomplish something productive for about 20 hours a week, all said and done.

Verse 1 (paraphrased meaning): The singer takes on the role of a controlling dance instructor he wants to lead the dance, insists everyone let themselves be "controlled" a little, and promises to show them how it's done "correctly." He describes forming a nice round dance where "freedom plays on all the violins," music comes "out of the White House," and "Mickey Mouse stands in front of Paris."
Verse 2 (paraphrased meaning): He claims to know useful steps and to protect his followers from missteps; anyone who doesn't want to dance "doesn't yet know that he'll have to dance." He'll show them the direction "Santa Claus comes to Africa," and again "Mickey Mouse stands in front of Paris."
