Today I’m announcing a brand new addition to my Substack publication: the On the Journey subscriber chat.
This is a conversation space in the Substack app that I set up exclusively for my subscribers — kind of like a group chat or live hangout. At a time when getting around social media algorithms can make communication with my readers increasingly difficult, this will give me a chance to communicate with all of you over a host of topics. In the coming year, I will make some chat features paid subscriber exclusives, but most will generally be open to everyone.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app, now available for both iOS and Android. Chats are sent via the app, not email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Substack Chat is now available on both iOS and Android.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
