Holy hell that’s a lot of new people. Howdy folks! I’m Haz, I like ffxiv, drawing, cryptids and cooking.
I’m probably gonna be a lil slow on the posting front for the next couple of weeks as I am in the middle of getting ready for a cross country move! But I’ll be around. Welcome to whatever this is!
Hello folks! If you’re unfamiliar with Tumblr, or the changes recently, feel free to ask people. Highly recommend the @changes blog as it’s like patch notes for Tumblr.
Check not only Follows but your Likes activity for bot accounts, and report them All as Spam, even if they have actual porn on them; flagging them as adult only gets their icon removed, but marking as spam means the account should get nuked. The current culprits are generically pretty women (sometimes men) with a single actual person name as the blog title/bio.
I have a tutorial to not get flagged as a bot yourself; please set an icon, a title, maybe bio, perhaps a pinned post. Even if all you plan to do is lurk and Like posts; let folks know you’re real as an empty default blog with default icon is also assumed to be a bot and gets blocked.
You’ll want to go into settings and set your custom blog URL to access all your pages and settings, too, and make your blog more accessible to others in general.
Tumblr’s ever evolving, so check the site’s documentation and with other users. Poke around a bit. Find the wacky lore this place has built up. There’s various published authors and celebrities lurking about but they’re mostly harmless.
change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you’re going to get blocked bcs people think you’re a bot
this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)
you can set your likes and follows to private
checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing
follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric
drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally
DON’T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won’t be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won’t get in trouble!!
tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7
be nice to the reddit refugees, they’re our friends <3
