I miss Tumblr. Yes, Tumblr still exists, but the Tumblr I miss does not. This stuff makes me wonder if we'll see an ActivityPub Tumblr-clone at some point, like Lemmy/Kbin to Reddit, Mastodon to Twitter and PeerTube to YouTube.

Tumblr is adding activitypub support, hopefully this year.

Be the change you want to see

I was wondering the exact same thing a few days ago and spent some amount of time googling it.

There's already such a project actually, called Swanye. There seems to be a single person working on it, so if anyone has time to help I'm sure it will be appreciated

I feel like an open source, federated substack would be more useful. You could use it like tumblr if you wanted to, but people could also use it to do real stuff.

There is WriteFreely, though it's light on features.

I believe Misskey/Calckey are meant to be exactly this, but I haven't tried them yet.

It would be so great if all these big "social media" companies just went out of business.

I wonder who could have foreseen the porn ban leading to this... Oh, wait.

They quietly have. Most of the restrictions have been rolled back

[-] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Porn is back yes but they are still pretty strict. If they catch you posting porn, you're banned. If your post has a nipple poking up on a shirt, that post gets banned. If the clothes are too tight, that post gets banned. If you post too many posts that are banned per above criteria, your account is banned.

"Tumblr CEO announces he's really, really bad at his job."

[-] cupcakezealot 10 points 2 years ago

Tumblr is great but the the last person who understood the user base was David Karp.

Also Tumblr without Xkit is just lunacy

[-] meoooow@beehaw.org 8 points 2 years ago

Tumblr's administration is hot garbage. I don't feel bad for them, and neither should you.

Check the bio -- that is a parody account.

[-] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

If it was his actual account, I'm pretty sure the engagement level will be about the same. Or even less LUL.

[-] TooL@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

I guess I forgot Tumblr was still a thing.

[-] peter@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

I surprised tumblr still exists honestly

[-] echo@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

unpopular opinion i kinda liked tumblr better after the cumbrains left

[-] wildeaboutoskar@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

The users are having a 'Crab day' where everyone gives each other crabs to try and help boost the finances. Will be interesting to see if it has an impact

[-] Duchess@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago

good. the only thing i'll miss is the blog customization options.
