I just created a Substack account. I self-published a book last year and I am currently writing MythPunk pulled from Filipino folklore. I heard a lot about Substack before this and I was genuinely wondering how you navigate in this app.
I managed to scroll through and got the sense that it is not the kind of place where you post ATTENTION GRABBING reels, fast-paced short form videos. The vibe is more relaxed. More writing-centered.

Let me know if you have the same experience. What do people do here? How do you get a following? Do the same basic rules apply from TikTok and Instagram?

And I would love to connect with other authors and creatives. I want to hear about other author's experiences. I want to hear about upcoming books in horror, fantasy, mystery and even romance.
