There is a Fediverse alternative to Substack called Ghost. It allows you to host blogs and newsletters in a very similar way to Substack, but it has much less problematic management and you can host your own Ghost-powered site if you want to.
Lots more info about Ghost in the guide at:
➡️ fedi.tips/ghost-blogs-and-news…
Would also highly recommend the article by @molly0xfff which outlines the advantages of Ghost over Substack:

> substack is more of a video service that just a blog / newsletter
Ghost already supports podcasts, if video isn't an option I'm guessing it's on the roadmap. If not, you can definitely host your videos on a PeerTube channel, and throw links into posts in Ghost, creating embeds that are just as good from a web reader POV.
Not sure how video could be sent by email, so sounds like SS is abandoning being a newsletter host, and following the standard VC pivot path.

> They are now allowing creators to do livestreams and then afterwards also host the recorded steams for later viewing. I don’t believe we have anything like this currently in the OSS world
You may have missed my mention of @peertube, which does both of these things;
joinpeertube.org/
Also there's @owncast for livestreaming;
owncast.online/
Not sure if #GreatApe is still going to be a thing, but I IIRR that was intended to be a federated Twitch (@atomicpoet?)
