The Commons is a conversation space in the Substack app exclusively for subscribers to Learning to Read, Reading to Learn. I appreciate your interest in my project and would love to hear from you.
To join, you’ll need to download the Substack app (messages are sent via the app, not email). Substack is pitching this feature as a social tool (chat). I don’t mind chatting, and emoji’s are great, but some of the examples from Substack don’t quite fit this particular newsletter—pets, vacation photos, recipes, etc. Growing pains of the platform.
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 my chat inside.
That’s it! If you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
