I have my fan exhausting my air out my attic which is a bad idea
What could I do to help things
Obv I don't want to vent straight to an air outtake on the roof cause of the flir an all that
Could I use something that tumble dryers uses to catch the water at least
Maybe plumbing outlets
I wouldnt know how to go about it

Do you have a Chimney stack not in use you can tap into.

Also, hot air coming out of a proper roof tile vent is common, remember its literally only slightly warmer than room temperature and plenty of shower and bathrooms vent that way.

Have you been up and had a look at eaves inside?
Normally attic spaces are well ventilated, draughty af might describe them better, if that's the case I'd have few concerns but obviously keep an eye on it to see.

Is an attic. It's meant to vent heat.

If you're venting into the attic, you're going to cause mold. Ask me how I know.

Best to vent out thru a roof vent, rather than vent into attic.

I might have a small chimney the fan is going in that direction
I could maybe run a bit of ducting till about a foot away lessing the force being pushed out
There is a good draft up there like
