Beyond the follow button

These numbers count the people who did more than just follow.

325
Newsletter subscribers
People who gave us their email address so they'd hear from us every week.
14–28%
Visitor-to-subscriber rate
Somewhere between 14% and 28% of site visitors subscribe, depending on the month. For a niche local newsletter, that's a high rate, and it tells us people are arriving because they were already looking for something like this.

How we count

Not every platform measures the same way. A subreddit's subscriber count barely moves some months even when thousands of people are reading inside it without hitting "join." We report what each platform tells us, and we don't round up.
