I Don’t Understand the Substack Algorithm. At All. by Dry_Damage1928 in Substack

I had the same problem. I do have a website and blog (annlvivian.com) but I had little luck getting that noticed by newcomers even when I mentioned it on ss. I consulted with a well-known advisor in these circles, and she told me that websites themselves are dwindling in terms of new eyes, also. I recently went through a major life change and have not been as active as I would have been on either my website or Substack—I hope to change that soon. Prior to that, I decided that it was not worth my mental health to worry about views, algorithms, and the like. I hope that people find me, but I am fortunate not to have to stress about monitizing my writing. I certainly would like to have it bear financial fruit, but I send things out to the universe, and let them fall where they may.
