Introducing a brand new addition to my Substack publication: the The Orchard subscriber chat.
This is a conversation space in the Substack app I set up exclusively for subscribers — sort of like a group chat or live hangout. I’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come my way, and you can join the discussion.
To join our chat, you’ll have to download the Substack app (messages are sent via app, not email). Turn on push notifications so you don’t miss a chance to join conversations when they occur.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Chat is only on iOS for now, but chat is coming to the Android app soon.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
I’ve already started my first chat thread so come on over and say hello!
I think you have to make a topic in chat to reply to. We aren’t able.
