Thanks for these new tools. Substack is the only form of social media I’m on, so tools like this are what’ll enable my writing to reach more readers.

Big thanks to team substack

Congrats. Both seem like subtle tweaks but I think could be quite profound… the little things that matter a lot to creators.

I'm thrilled to have finally joined this platform. Rolling out these continual improvements is incredibly encouraging. For the first time ever I think I've truly found an online home.

Oooh! I really appreciate the mentions feature. I mention a lot of other Substackers, and I'd love to let them know I'm writing about them (without being weird!)

Thank you adding these new features. As someone who just started my newsletter Sept. 25 this might really help me grow my audience. One characteristic I love about Substack is that fellow Substackers seem to be eager to help other writers develop a following. I think this platform can do more to change "false narratives" than any social media platform - which is actually the topic of my latest article.

so reassuring to see Substack’s ongoing efforts to encourage and support writers; especially thoseof us new to this wonderful new world free of restraints...

These are some nice features. My only hope is that in your ongoing product development you never implement hashtags for tagging and search. It seems you're replicating a lot of social media like features, and hashtags would be a terrible step backwards. As a programmer, I've been with them since day one, and they instantly devolve content relevancy and search efficiency.
