I hope it’s ok to ask a second question - I’m loving the discussion and thought this one should be separate from the one about my stack.

Has anyone got any tips to make notes more fun? More active? Am I missing something obvious?
Thank you Claire - I appreciate it! I’ve got a decent sized following on the bird site that shall not be mentioned … so I figured I would take to notes like a duck to water.
Unfortunately most of my bird site content is on the depressing side - and I’m not quite sure it “fits” here. Will read your article and start experimenting to find my Notes groove!
Hmm there are pockets of eco chambers even on Notes - maybe you just need to train the algorithm? On X if you make a video and talk about your substack it's not blocked. Tip from Farrah Storr, Head of UK Partnerships.
Ooh that’s a great tip - thank you! I’ve found writing threads on X and linking to my stack at the end helps a bit… but there’s definitely still a hurdle there. Never thought to use a video or audio.
As for the algorithm here - I think I need to use Notes more and then hopefully it’ll start to feel more like “home”.

Of course - I’m heading offline now as it’s 10pm here but here’s an article I wrote for my community about Notes - https://sparkleon.substack.com/p/how-to-use-substack-notes
