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.

#i said i wont ever rant about this bc it's unseemly but HONESTLY.#you simply cannot complain about not having enough of A or B or C and then never reblog / interact with the content you love.#If you LOVE something you cannot just leave a like and silently wait for more to happen #I know countless of content creators that simply stopped doing art/writing fic/making edits #You need to understand that fandom content is made FOR the fandom FOR the engagement FOR the entertainment and fun it makes.#If a content creator does not have fun IN the fandom-- why would they spend the scares free time they have on making this content?#And we're not talking about things that you don't like-- no one expects you to reblog things you don't like.#However I think it's safe to say that when a post has more than 5k it's not some random shitpost with no value.#tumblr issues #tumblr #content creators #buns.txt #something something please don't starve your local clowns

Okay, so let’s get this straight

This is a single comment Matt got, literally once, that almost immediately, and when I say immediately I mean immediately, triggered the ban of a trans woman:

And this is what trans people here on tumblr get in just a few hours that takes tumblr staff days and/or weeks, maybe never, to actually take action on, meanwhile in that timeframe these people are still allowed to post and harass trans people as much as they please:

Does this seem fair? At all? This doesn’t seem very queer friendly for “the queerest place on the internet”

Why does the cis white dude get special privileges when someone simply makes fun of him for being a bad ceo, but trans people who are actively being harassed, getting death and harm threats, told to kill themselves, etc. literally have to beg for staff to do something

What’s up with that, @staff? Why do I have to beg to be protected and to have other trans individuals protected by staff when that’s literally your job? I have to beg while these people get to do whatever they want because you never actually do anything about it? That your ceo gets special little boy privilege and can have whoever he wants banned whenever he wants? Why aren’t you doing what you’re supposed to?

A no notification curse is spreading across Tumblr!

It is unfortunately sporadic. And there has been no reasonable explanation for when it appears. So far it appears to happen for reblog notifications. No matter how long the reblog discussion has been happening, at times a notification will not appear. Usually meaning the victim of the no notification curse has to seek out the reblog manually.

Spread the word! Make it so the Tumblr gods see this!

Has anyone else been seeing a HUGE bot increase lately? Over the weekend and into today, I've received over 100+ bots, over the span of 3 days... not to mention the 8-9 I just received within my 15-minute drive coming home from work. My entire work break today was consumed with reporting and blocking the 30+ bots I received last night while I was sleeping. And they just keep coming. They have not stopped, nor has the activity slowed down. These bots are getting ridiculous :V

@staff you need to get a handle on this issue asap. I simply don't have the time or patience to keep up with them all.

This has been an issue as of late here on Tumblr for me, like the last couple of days. Opening Tumblr has the site freeze for a bit, images in posts don't load and just show as "image" until finally everything loads, or it brings up that error page shown above.

Is this on my side only or is anyone else having this issue? Turning off my Firefox add-ons doesn't improve the situation.

Edit: There is the "image" thing.

WE WIN THESE

But it’s not over yet, there has been heaps of other blogs who have experienced the same thing but did not have the reach or the community or the support I did in getting this issue solved.

Tumblr, although I’m grateful for being able to post again, you need to fix your spam trapper. It’s not working and causing real bots to slip through and banning and blocking real blogs.

Thank you for all the support guys, especially @amtrak-official and @humans who helped me fix and boost this issue!!

i wonder if y'all even realize how little tumblr staff cares about the general userbase XD

literally don't even hide it, don't even try to XD

they know that people who are here for 5-10+ years won't leave, hence they don't give a fuck whatever you're comfortable or enjoying yourself.

maybe they'll care when the same userbase stops buying crabs and paying for fake twitter marks and ad-free dash :)

since the "new and infrequent users" sure as hell are not the ones buying those things. but hey. get money from the general userbase and only serve the "new and infrequent" users. right?

#wow this is pissing me off so bad #btw they started rolling out updates to select users for algorithm based feed on your main dash that you will not be able to turn off XDDD #i already saw screenshots from people #i love it here.#i wish there was a proper alternative to tumblr that the fandom could consider this is frankly BAD.#tumblr issues #tumblr updates #tumblr

Tumblr. I'm begging you

so one of my uniform swap posts got assigned a ''Mature Community Label'' completely without my knowledge. No e-mail or notif to let me know, and there's no longer a "review flagged posts" tab for me to quickly check and contest an arbitrary label.

and what that does, apparently, is not just hide that one post, (which if it were actually mature fair enough) it sticks this extremely misleading overlay over my whole blog. One that makes it seem as though a decent number of my posts are mature enough as to need a warning before you even look. You know, instead of one (incorrectly labelled) mature post out of over 300.

and when you click to view blog, the individual post is STILL HIDDEN ANYWAY??

I dunno, it's just exhausting. As soon as I think I've sorted one tumbl """quirk""" another pops up to teach me not to get so cocky.

(Also. If I open up a ticket and try to reply to the e-mail support sends me:

Come on guys.)

#COME ON TUMBLR #I know it's not the same as being marked 'expIicit' but it ain't grand #Like I got no message at all to let me know that THEY added a community label to my post??#and I can't even e-mail them cos it automatically gets bounced #tumblr issues #Like also I'd VAGUELY understand if a number of my posts got a label added - irritating but consistent #But THIS is arbitrary #FROTHING AT THE MOUTH #mickules #mick text

Is anyone else having trouble clicking on links on posts that lead to other tumblr posts? It’s not working on mobile?? Links to external sites seem to be fine, but links to tumblr posts won’t work :(((
