#reddit refuge
Text
Alrighty gamers,
As a "reddit refugee" who has been on Tumblr for a year at this point and hopefully knows some stuff about how this website and its userbase operate (even though I haven't been on that frequently), here's what I have learned over the course of my time here that might be helpful to any redditors coming here (long bullet list incoming):
Absolute Basics
Apply a profile picture to your blog. It can be anything, but it needs to be there. If you have a default profile picture then you will probably be blocked on sight by almost everyone. It's not personal; you just look an awful lot like a bot.
Make at least 1 original post on your blog. It can be anything—from a long introduction to a random shitpost—as long as it isn't the sort of post that a bot would make. Maybe hold off on posting sexual gifs with a bunch of random unrelated tags for the time being.
Interaction With Posts
Likes on this platform are sort of like saving posts and comments on Reddit. They do add a note and they can be seen if you don't have your likes set to private, but they don't help spread the post at all and are most useful for later easy access.
Reblogs without added text or tags are mostly analogous to crossposting in function, although not in website culture. Instead, think of it more like taking a screenshot of a post somewhere else online and posting it onto your favorite subreddit of choice. Reblog things you find cool/funny/pretty/have something to add to/whatever frequently.
Comments on Tumblr are mostly like comments on Reddit. The biggest difference is that you can't have comment threads.
Posting (including reblogs)
Tag things when relevant. Especially tag topics that people might want to avoid, like bigotry or very long posts.
In your main text, say whatever it is you feel you want to say/add. If you're reblogging, this is were you put your hilarious zingers that will be forever immortalized by r/tumblr repost bots.
Tags are frequently used to elaborate or say anything that's not the main point of the post or reblog.
Interacting with other users
Don't be afraid to block people.
Don't be afraid to follow people. Following tags is functional, but following people that post things you are interested in is better.
If I'm leading anyone terribly astray, please feel free to add on to and correct this post

Salutations friends (◕ᴗ◕✿)
Figured I should introduce myself for anybody who might be interested. Call me B! Pronouns are she/her. You know what it stands for (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ I would love to get involved with the queer and trans communities here, and will probably post mostly poetry, thoughts and fit checks. All the other forms of social media are really turning into dumpster fires so I suppose I'm a refugee here ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀) Wish me luck as I pursue my dreams of endless mediocrity!

I've seen like 5 welcome to Tumblr guides and all of them said reblog anything you upvote.
Was no one gonna mention there's a 250 post limit where the reblogs count?

The one thing I never did on reddit was interact with other people, I do miss being up to date on news though.

Installing Tumblr because I'm bored at work and finding out that there's a bunch of people from r/196 here is giving me hope. I know it was basically just a meme sub but it was also one the comfiest places on reddit for people like me to just lurk and enjoy the silliness.
It sucks that Reddit just does not care about certain marginalized groups (r/blind will have to shut down because there are no good first party accessibility options iirc) and would rather have them off the platform than make slightly less money (or make frontends that properly work but that's another topic).
Between this, Twitter being what it is and Discord becoming worse and worse I'm genuinely worried about these big platforms that are basically without alternative in terms of user base size thinking they can act like this without (major) consequence.
Seeing people from the Silly Meme Sub come here and spread the same vibes as there were before is great because I know that there will always be a way to connect. In a few years it might be Lemmy, Mastodon or Revolt. But for now, at least for me, its Tumblr.

I have no idea what I'm doing but apparently people aren't mean here. I'm still gonna use Reddit in the meantime because AnarchyChess and other subs. AnarchyChess is adding a new rule everyday now, with the top comment on the pinned post announcing the day's new rule at the end of the day replacing the previous one. Chess is banned there today
I'll post stories there and here too

hello redditors, a tip about the porn bots: don’t just block but report it as spam first and then block

Reddit is killing itself, y’all mind if I crash here for a bit?
Let’s try to work out how this arrangement will work. Do I need to pay rent? If so, how much? How similar is Tumblr when compared to Reddit, is there like idk, subTumblrs? If push comes to shove and Reddit does die, do any of you mind if I stay premently? Any other websites I could migrate/seek refuge too? How do you even use this website? Saw one of the ads for here and remembered this account existed.
