We'll be having tabs come and go for all sorts of things, many of which will be specialized/localized! For example, we'll shortly have a NFL week 1 tab, but only for people who have shown an interest in sports. Definitely expect to see some for global news events as they happen.

Please don't diversify to much or you could end up like fb. I appreciate Substack the way it is. It has provided me with a community of like minded people that I feel safe to share with, write for. All systems can only grow to their point of collapse. Look a fb and Twitter. Big they are but mostly despised. Over-doing can be the death nell to all things. Countries as well.
I agree with all the writers that have said Substack should try to represent a broad spectrum of cultures from many countries. Over exposure to
Americanism destroys many cultures as our youth all want to wear inverted baseball cap and sweatshirts with Chicago or whatever written on them, while listening to gangsta rap. I struggle to find International content on most of the media products wonderful designed in the US.
So please keep your focus international. I am a British expatriot, brought up in Australia residing in Aotearoa. My interests are broad, as I suspect many of us are on this site. I love your product. Please don't spoil it.
Oh that's amazing! Excited for that. Just food for thought: I'm quite interested in sports, but have completely separated that from my Substack, so there would be no indication that I was interested in sports. Anyway! That's an exciting update.
Kidding, but we are working on more clear ways to explicitly indicate interests or disinterests in things. You can actually long-press (on mobile) these tabs to hide/show disinterest already, and we're soon launching some ways to show positive interest.
NFL is a sport played by just one country. The majority of sports fans in the world don't support, watch, or subscribe to it. Many won't even know what the acronym means. It's like indicating a technology interest and only receiving Linux news.
Soccer is an extended pre-school activity, mired in the simplistic precept of keeping the ball on the ground. It is easy to see why its viewers would find difficulty in understanding a requirement to keep the ball OFF the ground.

I just realised Reddit is DEI
Diversify Embelish Incarcerate. You tend to get tabs where you are not allowed open discussions on there.
It is a long way from Aaron Swartz posting scientific papers without copyright.

Don't worry, we know everything :)

IтАЩm pretty excited to explore these tabs today. I think I hadnтАЩt fully engaged with that feature.
Nice
IтАЩll definitely use that ЁЯПИ
Think it will be out later today :)
Can you see it already?

Hi Ben, is this based on the categories we picked or will Subsatck's algo analyze what we read and then decide?
Should we tag our posts already with those new categories you shipped?
