Me, too! I just posted a comment asking the best way to learn what's possible and how-to! I'm guessing YouTube will help. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. PS I'm 74.

Wow—there are quite a few if us in our 70s ready to dispel the myths about impending dementia.

I'm 73 and already struggling with aphasia, plus my husband is blind so my life is bounded by tending to his needs.

But being engaged and learning new things are what our brains need to stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible, for example I joined the group slow reads for both War and Peace and Wolf Hall on Simon Heisell's Substack "Footnotes and Tangents."

We can curate our own online community experiences here to best suit our own needs.

And it’s OK once in a while, not to use commas.

PS writing is a lot more interesting to me than working crossword puzzles.

One of the problems with most on-line sites is that they keep changing. Yes I am 76 this year BUT I think 'older people' either should keep up or get out.

I have been here on substack when it was easy to use....now I am confused.

NOT only this but many elderly substack users are deaf.

I see a reading and their are NO subtitles.

Keep it simple substack.

I'm the same age as you and somewhat hard of hearing - but you don't need subtitles to read an article. So there is an option for authors to record their voices - fine, but hardly essential.
