So, I gave it a try today. Was hopeful, because on Twitter all my posts go essentially into the void.

However, Substack Notes seems to have no method for discovery. They add some random larger accounts to my feed.

You can't search Notes to find people posting content in order to find others potentially interested in similar content.

So, unless you already have a large following, seems like posting into another void. People are reluctant to follow you as well, since you must subscribe to the persons newsletter, they are the same action.



Perhaps they will have improved the product in a few months. I'm sure they're collecting a lot of feedback.


I'm just amazed that no social media has really attempted to put what you view in mostly the control of users.

I put forward this suggestion to Twitter, I doubt they will use it, but it is currently ranked 4th by up votes.
