Hi! This is about the saved tag post. Yeah. They've not existed for me since the summer 2023. It really bugs me, because I have very long, but specific tags i use, or rather, USED to use for certain things i reblog. Since the search feature in my blogs seems not to work at all, combined with the absence of saved tags, I have no access to certain older posts I have in my blog, unless I literally scroll years back. Tumblr really dropped the ball here.
thank you! glad to hear confirmation about the summer 2023 timeline and that it's making the use of tumblr equally frustrating.
a tidbit to help make your blog searchable: if you go into your blog settings there's an option to set a custom theme.
if you enable this option then you'll get a specific tumblr domain for your blog (for example, mine is cinematicnomad.tumblr.com) instead of just the default tumblr domain www.tumblr.com/cinematicnomad that lets people view your blog within the dashboard. once you have a custom domain, you can search your blog for any tag.
so for example, if i wanted to look at all my past asks, i would type into the url: cinematicnomad.tumblr.com/tagged/ask. this would pull up all prior posts with the tag #ask
or, if i was trying to find a post but couldn't remember the specific tag but say, hey, i knew i talked about london, i could type in the url: cinematicnomad.tumblr.com/search/london. this should ideally pull up all posts that mention the word london—this is similar to the search feature that's already on your blog right now, it's not great and definitely misses some stuff.
you can search related words by adding a +. so if i were looking for posts where i mentioned london, and sherlock, for example i'd type in the url: cinematicnomad.tumblr.com/search/london+sherlock and voila.
LAST, with a custom theme, if you can't remember the tag, or even what you said, but you CAN remember the date you can always search the day. it'll always be formatted /day/year/month/date. so for example if i wanted to look up this day last month, i'd type in the url: cinematicnomad.tumblr.com/day/2023/12/23.
anyway this got long but thanks for letting me know saved tags don't work for you, and i hope you enable a custom theme so you have an easier time searching for past posts!
