To publish a novella, one could choose to publish it on an online platform or find a publishing house. It depended on the individual's situation and goals.
By publishing works on the Internet platform, one could have more flexible control over the way the works were disseminated and published. They could also expand the influence and audience of the works through the Internet. However, works published on online platforms might have to face more competition and could not obtain more extensive resources and support like publishing houses.
Finding a publishing house could provide more systematic and professional publishing services, including editing, proofreading, typography, printing, and other processes to help the work better present and improve the quality of the work. At the same time, the publishing house could also provide more resources and support, such as publishing publicity, marketing, etc., to help the work spread better and gain more readers.

If the work had already matured and hoped to improve the quality and popularity of the work through the help of a publishing house, then it might be more suitable to find a publishing house. If the work needed to be further improved and hoped to expand the influence and audience range of the work through the online platform, then the work could be published on the online platform.

A novella is kind of in the middle ground. It's not as brief as a short story but not as extensive as a novel. It usually has enough depth to explore a theme or story in a compact way.
Definitely a novel. '1984' has a substantial narrative, rich character arcs, and explores multiple themes and social issues, which are typical characteristics of a novel rather than a novella.

A novella was usually based on the story of one or more main characters. It was used to describe a complex social environment by telling their experiences and stories.
