Join me on Notes
A new place for us to share ideas
Have you found my notes on Substack? I typically share the things on my mind there. I have found it a place to test if people are interested in the topic for future expansion. There’s a great little app which will let you know when I post and when I make a note.
Today I shared about an app I recently downloaded that summarizes books for me. Every day, I get a 10-minute synopsis of another book. You might enjoy it too.
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to Mandy D. Farmer, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!
You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader of Mandy D. Farmer can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes from the things we're reading on Substack and beyond.
Why Substack Notes
Fellow writers and readers are spending time in Notes for a variety of reasons.
Ted Gioia sees Notes as a forum for dialogue.
The idea behind Notes is simple. Millions of people now participate in Substack as writers and readers—but much of this is built on long articles and essays. We now have a forum for dialoguing and sharing shorter posts.
Chris Ryan is drawn to Substack as an alternative for legacy social media.
One of my main reasons for joining Substack was to wean myself off exploitative social media platforms. I’m hoping this is going to help move us along on that journey!
Sherman Alexie wants to create a kind and creative new space in Notes.
I’m going to focus on being positive, with my own thoughts and photos and by linking to songs, stories, poems from around the web and from other Substacks.
If you encounter any issues, you can always refer to the Notes FAQ for assistance. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Hmmmmm. I searched all over my dashboard/settings and I cannot find this for notifying people when I post a note. As a reader, one frustration I have is that I hardly ever see any notes from the people I subscribe to. I don't even see many notes show in my feed from the people I follow. Most of the notes that come in my feed are from people I don't even know but I guess that is how we get new people to see our notes.
