Welcome to Have You Been Here, a blog that gauges where tumblr has been!
If you'd like to submit a place, please read the entire FAQ and submission guide BEFORE you send it in!
Note: After community votes, we have decided to use Aotearoa and not New Zealand, Czech Republic instead of Czechia, Türkiye instead of Turkey, & we include a "the" in The Netherlands. It would be appreciated if you stuck to those names in your submissions :)
We are NOT currently accepting anonymous submissions.

FAQ (under the cut!)
Q: What kind of places can be included?
A: Anywhere! Places can be as specific or as vague as you'd like: both The Milky Way and 123 Main Street, Frankfort, Kentucky, USA are both perfectly fine!
Q: Where should I submit?
A: Use the ask box! After opening a ticket with tumblr, it turns out submissions and polls are not compatible.
Q: What should I include in my ask?
A: When you submit a post, please include: A picture of the place, the name of the place, and the location of the place, if applicable. You must include the country. Please. PLEASE include the country.
Do not include anything else!
The format is image first, then text in big letters. Examples: #1 #2 #3. Please see the submission guide linked above for more detailed information.
Q: How many images should I include?
A: Please try to limit yourself to two images! Depending on the size of the images I may let submissions with 3 images slide, but submission with four or more will have me asking you to resubmit with two images. If you can't decide which images to keep, consider making a collage that condenses them into a single, smaller image!
Example [one] [two] [three]
Q: How do I make sure I don't submit a place that's already been added to the queue?
A: Use this link to see a spreadsheet of every place that's been posted and added to the queue. Do NOT submit the same place multiple times!
Q: Anon is off, but I don't want my username attached to my submission. Am I out of luck?
A: Not at all! If you'd like to submit a place anonymously, send in an ask as usual and mention that you'd like it to be anonymous. I'll take the submission and make a separate post without tagging you. The ask will be answered privately so you know that I've seen it and added it to the queue without your name involved. Anon submissions are NOT currently accepted! They will be sent back and not added to the queue.
NOTE - posts that ask to be posted on anon do take longer on my part and tend to fall to the bottom of the inbox, so if you really want to see a place posted quickly, consider not asking for your name to be removed.
Q: It's been a while, but my place still hasn't been posted! Did you delete it?
Q: I have a question that wasn't answered here or in the submission guide. How can I contact you?
A: Definitely not! The queue posts six fourteen nine times a day, and there are a LOT of posts in the queue and in my inbox! I don't add posts in the order that they were submitted, so it's likely that your place hasn't been queued yet. The only reason I delete asks is if someone sent in the same place twice in a row by mistake. (Tumblr occasionally glitches and causes this to happen.) Otherwise, asks that don't enter the queue will always be returned to the sender.
A: First, try looking in the tag "#hybh asks" - I may have answered it already there! If you don't find what you're looking for, send me a dm with your question. You can also send an ask, but know that response times are much faster for DMs - asks with questions tend to get hidden under submissions!
Q: I run a similar gimmick blog and would love to tag each other for publicity!
A: Awesome! I'm all for it; send me a dm from your gimmick blog and I'll tag you at the end of this post :)
7,000 visits! We got there last Sunday evening/Monday morning, depending of your time zone. There are 7,000 little planets on this image.
USA was very present this week, with a possibly record-breaking 18 visits. Japan made a timid apparition on Monday to prepare us for its return, we had another Christmas Market (when will it end?!), and tumblr flagged an innocent waterfall while a female-presenting knitting stayed unnoticed.
Happy middle of the year (the official day is July 2nd, and it being a Thursday this year the whole next week is the middle of the year) and see you all next Sunday!
