Tumblr Migration 2: Reddit Boogaloo

We all know about the Twitter immigrants, but there seems to be radio silence on what's happening now with Reddit users from certain subreddits doing a similar thing.

What's happening?

Reddit is restricting their API later this month and killing off third-party apps. An AMA (Ask Me Anything) with the CEO Steve Hoffman was held and it was clear that he would continue with the changes.

In protest, thousands of subreddits across the site are planning to go dark for 48 hours on June 12th. Some are planning to continue indefinitely until the changes are reversed.

Okay, so how does this affect Tumblr?

Some subreddits (mainly queer and left-leaning meme ones, don't worry too much about Reddit Atheists™ overrunning us) are encouraging their users to jump ship to our beloved - and beloathed - hellsite. There will be another influx of new users and many will be unfamiliar with how the site works.

What do us Tumblr users do?

Show them how to use the site; introduce them to the site's culture, tell them to reblog shit and curate their dashboard. Sorta like how we welcomed Twitter users back when they flocked here. Kungpowpenising optional.

I'm new from Reddit, what do I do here?

CHANGE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE AND BANNER TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN DEFAULT BECAUSE THIS SITE IS FILLED WITH BOTS AND YOU MIGHT BE MISTAKEN FOR ONE. This is the FIRST thing you should do after getting a blog.

Other folks can help you with stuff like curating your dashboard or creating sideblogs (or you can look shit up) but please, PLEASE just give yourself an icon and reblog some stuff so people don't mistake you for a bot

This is one of the first posts I've seen after trying to look at Tumblr again, so I've decided to head their advice and reblog this. I don't even know what a reblog is but I'll find out in time. It's a learning process

[lyridmeteorshower]

a reblog is what you just did! it's similar to a retweet on twitter and it's the main way things spread on tumblr

[moonstrider9904]

In the past week alone, I have come across at least three new creators, from artists to writers, through reblogs.

If someone hadn't reblogged what they put out there, I never would have found their art.

Reblogging is the way to help artists and writers on here gain exposure, and you're doing many other people a kindness in helping us find their brilliant work as well.

Never hesitate to reblog art and fanfic!

Beautiful Cinnamon Roll Too Good For This World, Too Pure

Would that I could turn back the hand of time and warn the onion staffer who penned this piece. “Is it worth it,” I would ask. “Is it worth it?”

Fandom, Fantasy, & Mythology-Themed Soy Wax Melts by RunewicksCandleCo

Heyaaaaaa

So it’s been like a week since I made a sale (or any income as a result), and I really need to start figuring out xmas… and other things, and so I figured I’d put the link to my etsy shop out there. I’m not asking for any other aid, simply putting my shop link out and about to see if anyone is interested in some soy wax melts. 

Scents:

Fanfiction Trope Scents - I have wax melts that i think smell like popular fanfiction tropes. They are pretty and shimmery, and I designed the labels myself.

Character Trope Scents - Likewise, I have melts that I think smell like popular character tropes. I have The Himbo, The Final Girl, The Muscle, etc. 

Diety Scents - The dieties i currently have scents for are: Aphrodite, Apollo, Freya, Hades, Hecate, Loki, Medusa, The Morrigan, Persephone, and Poseidan. I also have Odin and Thor as little sample shots. (Thor smells so good, I actually have some of it in my melter right now)

Horror Movie Trope Scents - Like it says, horror movie tropes <3

X-Mas/Yule Scents - I have some REALLY YUMMY smelling holiday scents. Personal faves around here are The Krampus (spiced cocoa/cream), Secret Santa (Cinnamon Apple, but there’s something else in there), and Sugar Cookie.

Literary Scents: Dracula characters. I’m going to be adding Alice in Wonderland scents soonish, but they aren’t ready yet.

I also have Fairytales & Pirates. I’m out of Blackbeard currently, but I pour more this week as soon as my oils come in. 

Also also I have twenty dollar mystery boxes that come with five mystery bars wrapped up.  I have one for horror movie tropes, one for character tropes, and one that includes everything else.  It’s a great deal if you don’t know which scents to buy and like being surprised.

Anyway, figured I’d link it up in the hopes that someone will see it. I’m unsure why I’m not getting traffic in my shop anymore, but who knows. 

[dresupi]

Someone’s reblog tags reminded me!

I have one day turn around for orders during the holiday season, so if you order today, it’ll ship the next business day.

*peeks into the Tumblr void*

Hello?

Anyone out here?

Yes? No?

Welp, anyhow, it’s your favorite fandom cinnamon roll.  Been a while hasn’t it?!

Hope all who take the time to read this are well.  Things are going good for me too.  New hours at work, new medication (why did I wait so long to get it?!), and new stuff outside of here.  

I haven’t anyone or anything, still visit blogs and do likes/reblogs/etc.  

All the new Marvel stuff, I want to see and gush about.  Same with video games and anime.  Fics? we’ll see. 

Just wanted to let ya’ll know.  

Take care and hope your timezone(s) is/are good.
