Today we’re announcing a brand new addition to our Substack publication: the Afterlives After Party subscriber chat. One of our motivations for starting this publication was to develop an engaged audience away from the more problematic, pay-to-play socials to support a platform that provides a space for content we read and value.
This is a conversation space in the Substack app that we set up exclusively for our subscribers—kind of like a group chat or live hangout. We’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come our way, and you can jump into the discussion.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app (messages are sent via the app, not email). Turn on push notifications so you don’t miss a chance to join conversation as it happens.
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 our chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into our thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
We’ve already started our first chat thread so come on over and say hello!
Hello world!
