And of course, my brain responds with: how about you release chapters to a paid relay (really, a publishing server) you run yourself? It's unending, really.
Discussion
How does/would that work if someone who is subscribed to your publishing relay then Reposts? Presumably people on their other relays would be able to see it? Can you restrict Reposting at relay level?
you're right. but i guess it'd be something more akin to patreon. the content goes to everyone, but it's funded by people that really want to support it and they get it first.
thinking more about it, you can send the content to them as a direct message, which they could obviously post publicly, but it would probably be too much friction.
