I'm writing a book and my editor needs to be able to alter/comment on the document as we go. I'm afraid AI is gonna use my work so I wanna move away from Google.

You have to host it yourself, pay for it to be hosted for you, or know and trust someone with an instance who is willing to give you an account.

Nextcloud is like Lemmy. Nextcloud is just the software, to use it you need a service provider that'll give you an actual instance to sign up on. That provider can be anyone, including yourself.

Nextcloud makes free personal accounts available via a couple partners, here: https://nextcloud.com/sign-up/

    Ah. Yeah that's not a feasible thing for us unfortunately. My editor is part of a small startup publishing company, so their revenue is pretty much non-existent right now.
