I realize that, but I actually mean where your page and posts are categorized. I mean, if you were looking for a crochet community, where would you look and how would you find them. Or if you wanted specifically to find quick and easy recipes, how would you find it within the food category? And where would you go to get organization tips.

Broad categories are fine, but it’s hard to find the niche interests within them.
Arguably one of the most successful features of TikTok was the tuning of their algorithm unveiling hyper-niche communities you almost didn't even realize you were apart of, and giving social momentum behind them. Interesting lesson to be learned from other platforms.
I did a quick search for “woodworking” and did get maybe a dozen to two dozen people and pages. Maybe the issue is that the number of writers is so small that there isn’t a category yet? Not sure how that logic would pan out for other kinds of crafting or creative projects.

I agree, Pat. I have a few niche interests which I find hard to find on the current iteration of Substack. I'd like to see Substack work on that.

That might be. I don't know much about how Substack handles that.
Dear Pat, Thank you for the letter. I am a writer on Substack, and I don't know how to get into my column.
I'm serious. Do you know how Substack categorizes
posts? I am lousy about technical stuff but I want to
write a column for disabled people. Thank you.
