Here’s something I can’t figure out: why do some writers get a check mark next to their names, and others even have their publication linked below their name when they post, but I don’t? I haven’t heard anything about this from Substack; I just started noticing it since Notes came out. I think ALL writers should get a link to their publication when they post, so we can distinguish writers from readers, and get even more ideas who to follow!

Hey Liz! The badges you see are the Bestseller Badges https://support.substack.com/hc/en-us/articles/10661509585428-What-is-a-Substack-Bestseller-badge-#:~:text=Substack%20Bestseller%20badges%20are%20for,of%20thousands%20of%20paid%20subscribers

All writers all do get a link to their publication and a button to subscribe if the user viewing is not subscribered, you just don't see it for yourself which is kind of confusing.

Thank you Katie, this is really helpful! But I wonder why the publication does not appear below the name if someone is already subscribed? If anything, I would like to be able to notice comments and notes from writers I am already subscribed to, by showing their publication name. Would it be possible to do that and just omit the subscribe button if someone is already subscribed?
