In the last two years, I noticed that the number of readers can greatly vary according to the time, when I publish an article, but I haven’t been able to determine what time would be the best for everyone, at least on average.
I've recently noticed that my Yahoo Mail app on my phone only retrieves the last 4-5 hours of emails, so in the morning I'll miss any that were sent in the wee hours after the last ones before I go to bed.
I prefer to read my stacks in my email, as I'm able to open and zoom in to pictures, but cannot in Substack without downloading it first. I only rarely use my computer.
Writing as a Kiwi from the other side of the world from most I always look forward of a morning to opening my computer and seeing what gems and thought-provoking posts you have taken the time to pen for us. Although I must confess that in doing so I do spend far more time reading them along with the links you provide than anyone with a house to organize ought to...ahem. On the other hand, being retired does give one luxuries of time and no responsibility previously not experienced.
I'm generally days behind on all of my reading unless it's an urgent request. As long as you're not deleting material it's all good to me.
While I do get emails as a subscriber, I don't usually read them. I have a half dozen bookmarks that I use for substack authors and check them when I get a chance. Your posts are often thought provoking so I wouldn't want to read them the same way as a bill from the power company. Please keep doing doing your thing on your schedule.
The time of day doesn't matter to me but what does matter to me and I'm not saying that it's necessarily you but I only follow about five substacks but what is overwhelming is some are posting 3-5 times a day that I am constantly cleaning out my email up to three times a day and I really don't subscribe to a lot of emails but I'll wake up and I've easily got 150 emails and the majority are from Substack. I don't know why some feel they have to put out that many articles per day. 🤷♀️
That's something I can relate to. The way I handle it is that I usually focus on one or two authors on a day, and go back to their previous posts. Sometimes I am several weeks late, but good things don't go obsolete. I also ignore certain topics, and you know that, because I don't write about them. :) They are only diversions as I described it recently in
My last post was not exactly my strongest one, and I added two more entries after the notification went out, which made it a bit better.
I am nearly ready with the next one, but don't want to be hasty. In the future, I'll only publish journalistic elements ASAP, and correct/complement them later.
Strangely, even I cannot "Like" your comment (the error message is: "You are blocked from liking this comment"), and it looks like only about 1,200 readers receive the notifications. Moreover, more and more people only "follow," so they are missing out on the e-mails from me, because I can send them only to subscribers.

Unfortunately, my posts often exceed e-mail limits, but I usually try to keep them within e-mail limits.
I rarely have any problem reading the whole posts in my email, even when they have that notice on them. Probably varies by the service provider.

Sorry, there are a lot of posts, perhaps because most of my life experience is in them...
Just write. Hyper-analysis leads to sterility!!!💪🔥🏹
A time of day?
How about now.

Time doesn't much matter since your articles are usually quite good.
That's a relief. :)
I'll still give it three days, and most likely, will schedule publications for whatever time the poll averages out.

Yes, I’ve noticed your posts are not showing up unless I seek them out.
Strangely, even I cannot "Like" your comment (the error message is: "You are blocked from liking this comment"), and it looks like only about 1,200 readers receive the notifications.
