I read mostly in Feedly that way I don’t have to see all the restacks that occur especially for those compilation posts.

I’ve been using feedly for years but not since coming to Substack. Thanks for the tip Deborah

A question for you Deborah. If someone subscribes via Feedly and not via emails, do they show up in your subscriber count?

Jane and I did some experimenting and determined that we cannot see who is following our Substack via Feedly. Which is too bad, because our stats are no longer accurate. Substack's AI told me that because it is a 3rd party app, they don't have access to the information.

Deborah — curious if your site has an xml, atom or JSON feed. Any of those might work

Thanks for asking. My website doesn't have any type of feed. It is a way for potential clients to find and contact me, and it has a link to Substack so they can see samples of my writing. My husband is the webmaster and plans to add a link to my YouTube page, which means I'll need to do more with my YouTube page.

Thank you! There are so many wonderful stories to read, and I can't keep up with them daily in my email. But I do have chunks of time at times where I sit with a hot cup of tea and binge-read. Will look into this. Sounds great.

I’ve been using Feedly for years and it’s so immensely helpful!
