It's mind blowing to see how many people here on the Fediverse alone still use Substack as their platform of choice.

@cliffwade What are some good alternatives for people who don't have the ability or knowledge to self-host?

@incentive I honestly can't answer that since I don't really use anything similar. My best suggestion would be to do a search for "Best Substack Alternatives" and go through the list and see which ones aren't self hosted and then research those.

Maybe others here can suggest what they prefer. I have seen Ghost and Beehiiv mentioned a bit, and of course there's WordPress.

@cliffwade @incentive Buttondown is another one I know some people using.

@Lemniscate Oh, thanks. I haven't heard of that one to be honest.

@incentive

@cliffwade @Lemniscate Thank you! It's always nice to have community servers that are credible to direct others to. I self-host and do writefreely for myself, but mostly just try to avoid telling other people self-hosting is the solution for everything. I'll make note of the above.
