Love that they switched completely to Substack. I’d be a paying subscriber to more newsletters if they switched from Patreon etc to Substack. It’s too much of a hassle to have different accounts/profiles. I love getting all of my media from one place.
I mean, this is nice for people and I’m sure there are people who will use it. I may do some changes but I have generally stuck with the basic format.
Mainly because if people need something flashy in order to attract subscribers, it feels to me like you’re trying to distract from the quality of your content. Some people will interact with the main page, but the important thing is the content itself.
Reading it in an email means not seeing the main page. Unless I can customize the email or the individual post more with these options, there isn’t much use for them.
This will only work and Substack will be taken seriously if it’s executive don’t screw up. A lot of useless features are being implemented but support is non-existent. It’s been months since I have been chasing support and the CEO to import my mailing list but no response. I hope this won’t become another MySpace.
Would be awesome to have the same customisability that the ‘Sections’ pages now have, on ‘Tags’ pages too - for those of us who use tags to host various different series/themes. Thanks!
Substack should stop making "improvements" — you've got a good thing going, and it's getting more complicated by the second. WTF does "We also recently shipped advanced homepage layouts, which allow you to highlight your publication’s different content streams by adding a customizable subscribe banner, blocks for your tags/sections, or a sidebar module featuring your contributors or podcasts" actually mean? (I wanted to put "actually mean" in italics or bold face, but can't — now THAT would be an improvement I could understand. .May I suggest that whoever wrote your original post checks into Wikipedia and look up the term "FOG index"? PS: Is "customizable" actually a word?
the tool for converting WP blog posts into Substack posts doesn't seem very reliable. It really hasn't worked well for me. Is there any support for that? I can't see bringing over much content if I have to do alot of manual work to make it happen.
Some very helpful new features. Thank you, Substack team, for making it easier to improve our sites, especially for people like me who are not totally up-to-date whith the latest technologies. I just can't keep up. 😉
Please be more specific about the details of the new features... and expand less on other substack accounts and how interesting they are. 👉 I'm subscribed to this newsletter to get updates about new substack features. Please explain them to me with some more depth.
Great! Much appreciated, bit more control over the visual interface -- the pin options, could they be ordered somehow? Pin 1, 2, 3 etc instead of having to pin/unpin to get the order the way one wants using the most recent as top?
But, if not, great as is, still the most helpful platform I've tried, very user friendly, thanks again Substack!
I continue to appreciate Substack's user-friendliness and non-censorship.
I hope this is never successfully attacked.
There are a lot of us here in the "free speech zone".
I love everything about Substack and its mission. But please integrate another payment gateway apart from Stripe.

At least that’s my take.

Thanks for the update! Will there be a time we can use actual custom fonts?
Please, add Russian language

Automatic traduction and spelling mistakes/grammar check (for authors) by LLM should be a priority.
Also, am I the only one wanting to be able to justify the text of a post?

Looking forward to experimenting with the new themes!
I can't wait to look at all the new layouts! Thanks 🙏🥰
