Every time I'm like "it's quieter here" about social media, I always think maybe I need to accept that I'm putting out something people aren't interested in. But I DO feel like it's been sleepier on Substack!! And every day I read something I LOVE that really has 2 likes and the account has like 96 subscribers. I try so hard not to equate popularity with quality or depend on the algorithm to be fair and consistent, but it's hard!!!!
Anyway, I really hear you. Love to follow you on both IG and here.

Thank you Alyssa! The feeling is mutual and all of my favorite Substack are quite small. I usually end up unfollowing the big ones after a few months
