To add to the confusion, you can subscribe on someone's profile. Additionally, profiles and publications are classified as the same in your user settings, under "publications"
I want to say you can treat your profile as a publication, but there are fewer features available in terms of branding and user experience.
I am SO glad you have written this Adrienne! This issue comes up so much that I wonder why it's even an option on Substack lol. I share this link with lots of people, thank you!

It is not an intuitive difference at all!

Thanks Kristi! It comes up so often with new people. Not something that is intuitive, that's for sure.
Just shared this one with my writing community. It can be SO confusing for people (as it was for me, of course).
Thank you for the share Dr Karen! You're right though, it's one of the more confusing aspects of setting up a Substack.
Thank you, Adrienne, for clearly explaining the difference. I'm sure it will really help newbies. I appreciate what you do to help others on substack.
Thank you Lana! Hope you're doing well.
