I've had one, too. I'm not sure how Notes sits with me. Most of the examples snipped above already have reasonably (or very) large audiences. I'm also curious to know how many new Notes people see posted if they linger on the Notes page for 5 minutes? For me, it's not many, which suggests it only reaches out to a couple of connections beyond my current subscriber list. I assume. Not certain. Perhaps it's to the do with the categories I'm listed under.

Can someone without an actual Substack post on Notes?

But beyond, I just don't want to find myself scrolling Notes when I'd rather be reading the posts people have emailed me.

I'm still going to test it out a little more, but I have the feeling it's not for me. I want the slow pace Substacking, not the fragmentation that this slightly feels like.

Fragmentation! Need to Defrag. Luckily for you, Tales from the Defrag is here to the rescue! https://open.substack.com/pub/alexanderipfelkofer/p/future-now?r=26onua&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Me? I didn't do anything. Honestly... Everyone needs to defrag, s'all I'm sayin'.

I remember the days of actually defragging my HD on my PC and watching those little squares move around, hoping it was going to solve how sluggish it had become.

Love the artwork on that post, by the way.

Thanks Nathan! There is an animated video post as well :) And yep defragging... it took forever! That's what I had in mind when doing the logo for the Substack and the intros for the teaser animations.
