There is a Fediverse alternative to #Substack called #Ghost.
Ghost is now compatible with the Fediverse. It's not just a feed, Ghost-powered sites can take part in discussions with Mastodon etc accounts, the follows work in both directions etc.
There's a guide to using Ghost-powered sites on the Fediverse here:

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Asking as someone who’s never had a blog, and thus has never done any research into the available options for having one, what would be the difference between Ghost and WordPress, which is also FOSS and federated?
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Is that proprietary, or self-hostable?
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services And it's already packaged by Yunohost 🎉
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services traditionally, ghost is a static site generator, isn't it? This is super cool, I'll be excited to see some of the sites I like on the Fediverse now!

It's FOSS and self-hostable, more info at https://docs.ghost.org/hosting
If you want to use the Fediverse features on a self-hosted Ghost instance you need to use docker.
(There is also an option to use ghost.org's own ActivityPub service on self-hosted instances, but that's limited to 1000 followers so it works mainly as a test.)

Ghost is mainly a blogging and newsletter platform, similar to Substack but FOSS and self-hostable. More info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_(blogging_platform)
The Fedi features do let you use it as a Fediverse platform too 🙂
