If you’ve been thinking about starting your own Substack and sharing your ideas with the world, come to one of our upcoming international masterclasses. Find links to each masterclass at the bottom of this post: on.substack.com/p/the-global-i…

We’re bringing on nine new partnerships hires to support writers and creators in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, the Nordics, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Japan, joining a dedicated U.K. team. Alongside these new hires, we are also expanding Substack Defender, our legal support program for publishers who face legal uncertainty or pressure because of their work—a core pillar of our commitment to a free press.

Today, we’re introducing new translation features, starting with the ability to translate Notes written in English into 15 languages, or into English from over 100 languages.

Connecting Google Analytics 4 can complement stats from the Substack dashboard, especially when you want more granular data like unique views. Once you add your GA4 Measurement ID to Settings > Analytics, you'll get a breakdown of unique page views alongside sign-ups and paid subscriptions.

@Substack What's the best way to track unique views (including per post) in the Substack dashboard? The existing surfaces tend to favor total views.

Gmail changed how tracking pixels work, so open rates are reading lower across every email platform Your audience hasn’t gone anywhere—this change has had no impact on actual subscriber behavior. Click-through rates, delivery, and engagement have all remained stable. These, along with new subscriber counts, unique views, and paid conversion rates, are the clearest signals of genuine, high-quality engagement and whether people are truly connecting with what you're making. Email may continue getting less reliable. We can’t control how email providers operate, but this is exactly why we are investing in the Substack app, which delivers posts and Notes directly to your audience. On Substack, you have a direct line to subscribers, on a platform whose business model only works when yours does.
