Thank you so so so much, Jasmin!!!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate what you said!!!!! I'm so happy to hear that you loved the story tags and seeing the week's submissions - and that you didn't mind being tagged.
The problem seems to be what Medium perceives as mass random tagging that is purely designed to initiate inauthentic engagement. I'm sure it's fine to do a few tags and shares when we love someone's work. Otherwise, Medium wouldn't have made this possible technically.
I went to bed thinking about doing a newsletter and wasn't sure how that would go. Was going to give it some thought today and then woke up to your comments here, plus a few others and a couple of people did mention a newsletter.
Medium publications do have that option; I just never bothered. I might set it up off Medium, not sure.
Thank you for being an Earth Angel and delivering the confirming messages I needed! ❤️❤️❤️
