Ask HN: Migrating old Substack posts to my own blog, have a question

2•Praddy•13h ago
I’m moving my older posts from Substack to my personal blog and I want Google to treat my blog as the primary source going forward.

Constraints:

- Substack doesn’t support canonical URLs (so I can’t point Substack → my blog).

- I don’t want to use a custom domain on Substack.

- Going forward, I want Substack only as the newsletter, and my blog as the SEO winner.

I’ve seen the “ghost post” approach (replace most of the Substack post with a teaser + link), but I don’t want to delete/gut the original Substack content because I still want readers there to have the full post.

Is there any way or a hack to get this donee??

Even if you could add canonical link into the header, you cannot have canonical link represent content on another domain. So no, there is nothing do be done in this regard(even if anchor itself would support rel=canonical).

I would just add link to the top of the text pointing to the new location with a note and leave it be.
