To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:
A post in 2023:
A post in 2014:
A zoom out of the same post:
This is what a community looks like.
See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.
It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.
Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.
If you want more of something, reblog it.
Something I see mentioned often is "I don't have many followers, my reblog won't matter" which is untrue.
First of all, reblogging, commenting and interacting is how you start gathering your own micro community, second of all— you literally do not know how far a single reblog from you could mean in the long run.
For instance, let's say you only have one person reblog from you, and that person only have one person who reblogged from them also, and so on, and somewhere ten reblogs down the line a very large blog reblogs it and boom, the post is getting more and more exposure!
You see, it does not matter if you don't have a large following so long as you cultivate a micro community with the people you do enjoy interacting daily with.
As you can see in the second picture I added, most of the reblogs were between very small groups of people, and occasionally it'll lapse into a large blog that would create a bigger reblog pool. BUT STILL. Saying that you don't have many followers and so it doesn't matter if you don't reblog is UNTRUE.
Even if someone just randomly wanders into your blog one day, it's beneficial for both sides because A. Seeing you reblog content they like might be enough for them to follow you B. They would be exposed to new content creators they didn't know previously and might also follow / reblog from them!
So yes, do not underestimate what your reblogs and words mean, just because you're not 'big' or whatever. It is not how tumblr works!!
P.S IT IS NOT CRINGE TO REBLOG 10 YEARS OLD CONTENT ON TUMBLR. YOU SEE IT. YOU LIKE IT? REBLOG IT. DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU DIG IT FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL ITSELF. XOXO :'D <3
I wrote a post topically adjacent to this about pre-Tumblr fandom communities vs Tumblr fandom communities here: https://nyxelestia.tumblr.com/post/190350606045/bea2me-zoinomiko-weconqueratdawn (with some similar diagrams included)
You never know who is going to see a post because, you, specifically, reblogged it. You never know who is going to start following you because you reblogged a specific post, and who is going to start following you because *that* person started reblogging posts from you. You matter in ways you don't know.

Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, CEO of Mozilla, announced that AI will be added to Firefox. Public outcry prompted Enzor-DeMeo, and then Jake Archibald
Additionally, here are some interesting comments from a Mozilla employee who's been working on these features:
Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas
People will be like “this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship” and then you watch the movie in question and it’s about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively
“Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good” so we would have this conversation….
Women... 🥺
hey so don't use this. RabbelLabs, the company actually creating this platform, trains AI models. Jack Dorsey is best friends with Elon Musk and they both advocate constantly for the abolition of IP law because it stands in the way of AI 'growth' (theft). They're banning AI on the platform so they can use it as a clean slate to train more fucking AI. They're also using images of Divine, the drag queen, to push their shit and I guarantee they didn't get permission from her estate.
The DiVine website says that it's made by Rabble.
If you go to their website you can find this:
if you click that And Other Stuff you're taken to an entirely different website that explains what all that 'other stuff' is: five pillars of building Nostr AI.
You have to wonder why they're hiding it, right? Why is it so hard to find? Why register an entirely different domain (it's andotherstuff.com, not like rabblelabs.com/andotherstuff) just to talk about the AI stuff you're doing if you're so proud of it?
Stop simping for billionaires just because they jingle keys in your face, start doing some fucking research.
[tumblr] will never tell you to contact a discord account to dispute a report.
[tumblr] will never tell you to change your email to someone else’s to clear a report.
[tumblr] will never use a gmail account to dispute false reports.
[tumblr] will never ask you to pay for tech support related to your account being false reported. They also don’t charge for tech support in general.
Anyone messaging you saying they accidentally reported you for anything has been hacked it doesn’t matter if it’s a mutual that is not them using the account if you got that DM or inbox ask.
Do not message the Gmail account it is not support.
Do not message the discord account it is not affiliated with tumblr or tumblr staff.
[tumblr] does not use Discord for any official tech support matters do not even think they do just because the screenshot looks official.
If you got hacked by this scam immediately contact actual tumblr support do not wait. Do it immediately.
Please share this post to your friends, mutuals, or random internet strangers. I can’t stress enough that people are still falling for this scam because they panic and don’t pay attention to the text.
“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!
Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”
- Sacha Coward
Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero
Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”
- @robinlayfield
Grace Hopper did more than coin the term “bug”. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computer’s operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.
also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Adding Wendy Carlos to the list! Trans icon and pioneer of synthesized music!!
Also, just about every computerized device outside of desktops is running ARM chips now. Your phone, your keyboard, your car, your watch. Basically everything.
And ARM was primarily designed by Sophie Wilson, a trans woman.
Please don’t forget Hedy Lamarr. Screwed over by the US government. She helped develop spread spectrum communication, which in part led to the development of WiFi and Bluetooth tech.
LED, LCD and CRT colour monitors are built upon the design of Guillermo González Camarena, Mexican inventor of the colour television. Without him, computers would still be black and white. Without colour screens, video games wouldn’t have become as popular as they are now, and movies with digital effects would be almost impossible, meaning computers as a whole wouldn’t have grown to be as powerful as they currently are, because a lot of money in modern computer research comes from the film and video game industries.

Even now it’s way too common for people to automatically assume interest in computers = boy for some inscrutable reason. Just a couple of decades ago it was even a common joke that “there are no girls on the internet”.
To all my followers who are AO3 writers like myself, I just wanted to warn y'all about a new spam trend that appears to be going on over at AO3.
From what I've heard and personally experienced, there are scammers leaving comments on fics, trying to get writers to commission them for art of their fics.
From my personal experience, either the comment will start off with the person offering words of praise about your writing before asking if you're looking for art of your fic or they'll just immediately start talking about all the great ideas they have for art for your fic that they'd just love to create.
They'll say they wanna "collaborate" with you, but what these particular people mean is they want your money in exchange for their art, so be very careful when a reader that you're not familiar with uses that word in their comment.
I've even been told that they'll give me art for "free" if all I do in exchange is pay for their art software, which obviously means the art isn't free at all 🤦♀️
I wanted to issue this warning to everyone cause these scammers can be pretty persistent regardless of how much you politely decline their offers, and I don't want anyone else to have to deal with this, especially if they end up becoming really rude about it like what happened with me today.
Now, that's not to say I'm against commissioning people cause that is not true at all. I've commissioned plenty of amazing artists, and I love being able to support the artists that I admire whenever I can.
However, in these circumstances, when you don't know who's behind the AO3 account, it's hard to tell if you're dealing with a real artist or a bot. Considering the way these people I've interacted with acted, it all just seemed very suspicious, so please be very cautious and do your research about the artist you choose to commission before making your decision.
I just wanted to warn y'all about this and remind everyone that there is a block feature on AO3. While I don't believe you can stop people from reading your fics, you can at least prevent them from leaving these kinds of comments which are a real downer for writers like me who always look forward to the feedback they get on their fics.
Stay safe, everyone!
