I don't get email when you publish. I get a notification via the substack app. Do I need to take any action to keep "subscribed" ?

No, I see your email on the list of subs and I will transfer it to Buttondown, but of course this means you wont be able to read it via the Substack app anymore. Sorry.

That's no problem. Do I need to download another app? Sorry I still don't know what I need to do to keep reading 😅

Looking forward to seeing how things go with the other provider 🙂 I haven’t received any email yet, but I assume it’s on its way.

Thanks! You can check if you are subscribed here: https://newsletter.handpickedberlin.com

I migrated all existing subs there yesterday.

Igor are you planning to do a Beehiv Vs Substack comparison? We could be a test user as we are in the cusp of trying to decide between the same

I did a lot of analysis because it's an important decision and decided for Buttondown at the end (after initially thinking Beehiv is the way). If you are interested I can give you a referral code.

Just out of curiosity, why moving out of Susbtack?

Several reasons, but the most important one: if I want to take newsletters seriously, I need better tools. Substack has its advantages, but for my type of content it isnt the best place.

Reading this really tipped me over: https://mail.bigdeskenergy.com/p/death-by-thousand-substacks

(written by Behiiv founder, but still a lot of truth in it)
