Category data & methodology
1. The Link Tank™️ (52/100); 2. Write • Build • Scale (40/100). These positions use the current seven-day activity index through Nov 6, 2026 UTC and can change when a new qualified day is added.
This page contains 225 observed Writing & Growth communities inside Subshack's index of 2,563 public Substack groups. The category covers newsletter writing, audience growth, creator tools, and publishing craft. Metrics use a rolling seven-day window through Nov 6, 2026 UTC.
2 of 225 observed groups currently qualify for ranking, an activity rate of 1%. Here, activity rate means the share of observed groups with at least one complete UTC day confirmed by three independent Subshack installations during the seven-day window.
Ranked Writing & Growth groups recorded 39 aggregate messages in the current window. Their mean published reply rate is 50.2 replies per thread, calculated from the 2 ranked communities with measured threads; it is a conversation signal, not a guarantee that any individual post will receive a response.
Each complete UTC day combines aggregate messages, active participants, replies, and help requests into a score from 0 to 100. A day counts only after three independent Subshack installations report it. The leaderboard uses the mean of qualified days in the latest seven-day window; raw messages and member identities are never stored in the public index.
