Hi Mika! Thank you for asking. I am still getting used to Substack. Since I had facilitated a support group of people that met every week, I place a high value on community. I hope to find it here on Substack. I think it's wonderful that it exactly what you are doing! Any opinion on how I can do that? Is using Chat a good idea?
Chat is great! I would start joining in on a few that people are doing, so it gives you an idea of how people use it on Substack. I think threads like this is really good. Not everyone participates so, depending on how engaged your readers are, it may help to wait until you have a decent amount of subscribers, so you won’t be disappointed in the engagement.
Welcome! Since you've been doing this work for a while, how are you finding the transition to Substack?
