This is one of the ways in which Substack could improve. On your home page they have things you are subscribed to, on an author's feed they have past articles with more popular ones foremost. It would increase functionality if they would add a way to access a list of past article - an index or possibly just a list of titles (although some, like HCR, don't have many or any clues in the title). It wouldn't hurt if they allowed the choice by the author of having a menu option of rearranging the list by topic. It wouldn't be hard, if they option was there, to do so going forward at least. Many of these articles represent quite a bit of effort on the part of the authors and many are well worth revising or using as a part of a research effort on a topic one wants to learn more about.
there is a way through the Substack home page or support page or somewhere unexpected. I've made a couple of suggestions but they've been ignored. One is a way to search through your own comments to find where you made them and what the context was. The way topics recur in this world (gee, another grift???) it would help to see what you'd thought before and whether your mind had changed.
At least your own page now shows what you've liked, but comments are much more useful. In any event, you cant search the likes.
Kdsherpa, I had a lovely chat with a chatbot. Supposedly they "document" what you offer. I think that's the only flow of information inward, which is another problem! One would think they could accept suggestions and use AI to triage the TMI. We live in a very strange world. . .
That's a weird thing that happens every day. They are really stupid. It's a cheap business model to use them to support customers. I will use support by people who can read or hear me. Not AI that fits my question into an algorithm. Yes , humans use scripts, but you can at least get them to go off-script to get what you need.

That's an excellent suggestion. Any way to get it to The Powers That Be?

"I had a lovely chat with a chatbot." Thank you for my laugh for the day! :-)
That's becoming more common all over.

I agree!!
