Shared here and on LinkedIn. I admit to skimming the technical details. 🙂

Also, I had to do a Google Image search to figure out what the preview image had to do with the article:

ETA: Most of the #Substack tagged posts I can see here are about #SubstackMigration, while most posts with that tag on LinkedIn are from people (still) hosting on that platform. Not surprising

- Read the whole post. Thank you for the detailed ebbs and flows of the migration with sharing so many resources.

I too, am a font nerd. So I was curious about that! I’ve created some Ghost themes for some clients and fonts always give me some issues. If you have any other resources that helped you I would be grateful!

Glad to see you’ve done away with Substack and their blatant disregard to moderate (or lack there of) hate speech. Ghost is great!

Wow! Thank you for writing that detailed explanation! This is great for anyone moving to Ghost!!

I migrated from Substack over to WordPress back in November… but I don’t have any of the complexity you did! (For example, mine is free so no payment processing or anything.)

This is wildly funny because I'm literally running the migration at the very moment that your post crossed my feed. If all goes well, I'll be at ghost.jimcarroll.com

I started up on ghost two days ago after reading the Platformer story.

I'm wildly small on Substack, but Ghost looks better anyways.

I'll start out on the platform, but after reading your post, might self-host.

"xNext up was email. In order to send bulk emails from Ghost, you need to use Mailgun. Mailgun is actually the priciest part of my setup, at $75/month"

---> Run, don't walk to Sendy -> sendy.co

Do what you are using Mailgun but for pennies, via Amazon SES (their bulk email service). I run my newsletter and other things off it; its very straightforward, has a great interface, and ALL the options.
