Nonogra . ph is another one.

Although the link appears to get instantly flagged for some reason

That feels more like a paste bin than a writing platform? How do you know whats published without having the link already?

I don't typically find anything without a link do you? Post to an aggregator and stuff gets around naturally if it's interesting and worth sharing.
