Tumblr Blogpack Manager Userscript

Lets you curate your blogpack lists on tumblr a hidden feature that creates custom feeds based on a comma separated list of usernames.It's functional but it is bare bones. I made this mainly for myself because I follow a lot of blog types and I feel like a lot of blogs from certain hobbies get drowned out.

If you haven't heard of the blogpack feature I don't blame you I only just recently found out about it [here].

I won't be polishing this much because I am sure it will be officially implemented one day or maybe xkit will do something better but I wanted it now.

help plz

I am trying to create a blogpack with all of the blogs i find important and want to keep tabs on, (my dash is very cluttered) but i cant see some of these new ones i added? i know they posted recently but i cannot find their posts on my tab. Is there a limit on how many blogs can be in a pack? did i type something wrong?

here is my blogpack link, if you are on it, it just means your in my focused follow list

My relationship with Tumblr scrolling and posting may be going through a fundamental change. Or I might just be a little depressed.

We were expecting to get a formal diagnosis of my mother's cognitive condition this week. We want to know Mom's needs so they can be provided for, and we need her needs established and documented for insurance purposes, and we thought that was going to happen earlier this week and it didn't.

Meanwhile this week I've been feeling myself running out of steam when it comes to Tumblr consumption. In my retirement years I've been making myself do something else than scroll dashboard in the afternoon because otherwise I'd be inclined to do it all day and I don't want to let myself get sick of Tumblr before it implodes. Yet this week I've been feeling a loss of interest, and feeding my queue less, though I'm no longer making my almost-daily visits to Mom in the mornings. I'm still using a blockpack routine before moving on each session to my proper dashboard but I've pared down the routine to the minimum of mutuals of whose posts I don't want to miss any, and this morning I didn't feel like going on from there to reading my proper dashboard.

It doesn't help this morning that I haven't scripted and drawn a The Hero of Three Faces to be updated later today. My recent S.O.P. of drawing each day's first thing at the stroke of midnight before I even go to bed has been working well for many weeks or a coupla months; but there've been several days lately when inspiration has failed and the writing and drawing hasn't got done till late afternoon just before update time.

But that's what makes me think the new Tumblr burnout is a temporary, situational mood thing. Difficult times in the past have occasioned low daily cartoon inspiration just like this. If that's what's taking the fun out of drawing, perhaps it's what's taking the fun out of tumbling. And the rough times don't last forever. For now, maybe it'll help to go on one of my drives and get out of the house awhile.

Blogpacks!

A couple blogpacks:

Tumblr curated content blogs: https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/blogpack?blogs=fandom%2Cart%2Cmusic%2Cbooks

Tumblr official info, changes and support: https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/blogpack?blogs=changes%2Cwip%2Cstaff%2Csupport%2Ctips%2Cengineering%2Cjavascript

I may update these if I find more. AFAIK there isn't any master list of these official blogs...

Blogpacks are a non-official feature, they were being worked on internally, but they never got fully developed and have no real UI to work with them. But they exist and can be accessed in current form by anyone.

Just use the URL form like this: https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/blogpack?blogs=blogname1,blogname2,blogname3

You can use commas, they will just be automatically converted to "%2C" for technical reasons.

They look similar to the dashboard, but just have the blogs you put in the URL:

I love blogpacks

Not me waiting patiently for the @wip askbox to open on Monday so I can make feedback about this cool feature, and making shiny maquettes for improvements I'd like to see and even considering coding an add-on myself because I can't wait and-

(Here's a few suggestions I wanna make, also why not filters like in the "my tags" tab)

blogpacks are very good for my autism

one casualty of my computer shitting the bed: the text file I used to store my blogpack of original artists on tumblr 😢⚰️

@staff please make blogpacks a fully built out feature

turns out by sorting people into blogpacks i am learning that i indeed can unfollow quite a few people and not lose anything worthwhile
