@zenbynature91 @Norseman1 Welcome! Worth checking the “Daily Updates” channel in Discord, it may be interesting to you. Also good as a backup in case Substack is down.

@Historianluce Yep, I took it down because there was an error in the image generated by Substack. I'll upload it again.

Does @SubstackInc have an outage right now? It keeps saying I'm offline when I'm not when I try to create a new post. I've ruled out cached cookies, etc by resetting everything. I can successfully log in and get stuck at the `/publish/post/{id}` route.

We're not detecting a broad Substack outage right now, so a problem is most likely local to you — your internet connection, device, or the app. Try restarting the app, then your router. If many people report the same issue, this page will update to show it.

How do I report a Substack problem?

Use the “Report a problem” button on this page and choose what's not working. Reports are anonymous and update the live status and outage map in real time.

How does Outage.Report know if Substack is down?

We aggregate anonymous user reports and monitor public social-media posts, comparing live volume against Substack's normal baseline for the time of day and region to detect anomalies — often before they're officially confirmed.
