Join my new subscriber chat
A private space for us to converse and connect
Hello, I’m starting the Hoopla subscriber chat with Substack’s new chat feature.
This is a conversation space in the Substack app that is set up exclusively for my subscribers — kind of like a group chat or live hangout. Here, I’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come my way, and you can jump into the discussion.
This will be primarily a space about Big Ten women’s basketball. That may change depending on how things go, but this feels like a happy medium between starting a Twitter account for Hoopla (instead decided to rebrand to @hooplawyatt on my personal account) and not doing anything separate.
To join the 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. See you over there!
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! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
I’ve already started my first chat thread so come on over and say hello!
