if you’re a new tumblr user from tiktok or IG or something and only like posts and dont reblog them yeah people will think you’re a bot and block you but you will also make this website actively worse. they want “algorithmic” users like you, served recommended posts through likes, not people who just follow each other and respond to the direct chronological feed. there is a reason this website is still better than the rest, even with all its problems, do not ruin this

[hashtagloveloses]

ok i need to make this clearer: if you do not reblog posts and only like them you are contributing to this site actively getting worse and becoming like all the apps you hate. keep likes to things you just wanna keep off your blog. reblog everything else. ESPECIALLY fanart, which always needs a reblog.

and FYI: what i’m saying here is backed up by tumblr themselves. they admit this publicly.

if you want a good RECENT (as of the end of February 2022) overview of what is going on behind the scenes at tumblr, it is basically what i’ve been saying for years: the core staff is tiny, constantly not being listened to when they advocate for us, the community, and working there is a nightmare:

The inside story of how Tumblr lost its way

And how it can find itself again for a new generation.

Reblogging to encourage people instead of only liking is really not that fucking hard if you dont want people to be discouraged cuz their stuff get zero interactions and 99% useless likes and be driven off the Platform.

Thank yall for this! I thought reblogging wasnt good because that it just puts stuff out there that is already out there, but now i am going to reblog bc I learned and stuff ig. IDK what i was going to say

ig thanks bc now im not scared to reblog out of fear of hate

[kedreeva]

Thank you for learning stuff! Reblogging is wonderful and people will learn to recognize your handle in their notifications and feel very fondly toward you even if you never talk directly to them. I know I get especially fond of people who talk in the tags. Like someone seeing the stray kitty they leave food out for every night. I recognize the people I regularly see tagging things, and I miss them and worry about them when I don't see them for a while. Definitely don't be afraid! Tumblr actually functions on the "social" part of social media!

"I thought reblogging wasnt good because that it just puts stuff out there that is already out there"

Pulling this out because I think it's important.

The thing is, it's not "out there". That's not how content works on Tumblr. Content on Tumblr is in fact very much not "out there".

If I post art on my blog, the only people who are guaranteed to see it are the people who follow me.

Maybe someone browsing the tags will see it if they get lucky and Tumblr randomly decides to show my post. And I do mean randomly. The search results you see are randomized. You're not seeing every single post on Tumblr. Staff literally told me this in an email exchange.

SO: if you don't follow my blog and you don't get lucky while browsing the tags, you are not going to see my content unless it is reblogged by someone you happen to follow.

So if you see something cool, reblog it. Otherwise, no one else is going to see it.
