[ID: A cropped screenshot of the 'Featured Tags' options on Tumblr Desktop version, showing a blank box where you can type in custom tags and a list of four tags already added to my account, being Doctor Who, Danny Phantom, Quantum Leap, and Star Wars, with a box next to each giving the option of removing them. End ID]

Hey, did you know Tumblr that Tumblr now lets you finally edit the "popular tags" that pop up when you search your own blog?

[ID: a cropped screenshot of my tumblr blog's search function with no text entered yet. There is a pop up box prompting me to check out the popular tags on my blog, which now read as Doctor Who, Danny Phantom, Quantum Leap, and Star Wars. end ID]

This means if someone's checking out my blog, they're not going to see my most-used tags across the entire life of my blog-- things like 'no ID' , 'undescribed images', 'bold text', 'large text', 'capslock', etc, which are all filtering tags or content warning tags, which doesn't give you a good look at what I *actually* post about!

(Or, gods forbid, it would still say I post lots of Supernatural things from 2014 from the sheer volume of ancient posts hanging around in the beginning times of my blog)

So now, if you click on your own blog and go to the search bar and, like me, were greeted with ancient fandoms you don't care about anymore, or just a wall of filtering tags that isn't going to give anyone visiting your blog an idea of what you post about now, you can now remove unwanted tags and type in custom ones, such as me adding Star Wars to my featured tag list :)

As another note, this also means you can't rely entirely on the Featured Tags popup when checking someone's blog to see if they're a TERF or not, since they can now remove those obvious tags, so make sure you actually *search* suspected TERF blogs for the terms trans, rad, female, male, moid, etc to get the best results, as they've wised up (a tiny bit) to the fact they shouldn't post the word trans too much if they want to avoid detection.

Which, you know, is absolutely hilarious that they're aware of the fact that literally everyone hate their guts and will block them on sight if they post enough obvious bullshit, but still somehow under the impression that they're also somehow in the majority and morally right lol.

Sorry, but if you have to hide the fact that you're a terf from the average follower let alone friends and family otherwise they'd be horrified at your rhetoric of hate, maybe that says something about your ideologies.

If you're a terf and you have to be crypto to have online friends? Maybe you should think about why that is.

Anyways, obligatory "fuck off terfs" done, go, be free, have fun removing the 'supernatural' Featured Tag from your blog after 8 years of it being stuck there!

[chess-does-things]

Does anyone remember the name of that one blog that was like "Gandalf big naturals" or "sexy tumblr wizard" or something

[shhhnobodyliveshereanymore]

Hello there, tumblr!

I'm gonna give this whole blog thing a shot again. I am looking for some fun blogs to follow! I am most interested in creative people, artists, poets, or cool blogs in general! I want to follow mostly pg-13 blogs, so no nsfw stuff for now. I may change my mind later, who knows. Please share your favorite blogs with me to help me get started!

Fandoms I enjoy: -Melanie Martinez

-Rick and Morty (fuck justin roiland tho)

-South Park

-Spongebob ( i love the spongebob fandom, for the most part they're so sweet!)

ok back to regularly scheduled reblogging

[asjjohnson]

Hmm... (looks up those url characters)

"https://[blogURL].tumblr.com/search/#[tag1], #[tag2]"

Also try "https://[blogURL].tumblr.com/search/[tag1], [tag2]"

and "https://[blogURL].tumblr.com/search/[tag1],+[tag2]"

Basically, just add a comma and a space to search for more tags. (Or a comma and a plus sign).

You can also use a blog search bar to search for several different tags. I've tried it with up to four. No url needed in the search bar, just "tag, tag, tag, tag" Very simple.

figured out a way you can search for posts that are tagged TWO things on a blog!!! feeling clever

for anyone else who didn’t know, this is the format!:

https://[blogURL].tumblr.com/search/%23[tag1]%2C%20%23[tag2]

remove the [brackets] when using it!

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)

I need to find an ask blog for fashion advice because I have specific things I want to wear and no idea how

Anyone have trans inclusive fashion blog recommendations?

[blerghcough]

Hiiii!!

I've been trying to lose weight for years and years (for health reasons!) and I figured it would be easier if I had some external motivation. So I'm going to be posting like progress checks here and I'm hoping that will keep me accountable for my diet and weight loss I guess

I've never posted about it before and I'm looking for other people who are also on a weight loss journey so we can see each other (not literally but like in a "we're in this together" way), and can motivate and celebrate each other!

So yeah. I'd love to see some other people who are on the same ride. Let's do this together :)

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

I know for a fact that I reblogged a post about the Ultimate Grilled Cheese a few weeks back, and I'm 99.9% sure I tagged it 'food' and yet now I fancy trying it out can I find that post? Can I find that damned post. Tumblr search function strikes again

[strange-aeons]

Hiya, Strange! I've gone down the rabbit hole of personal fandom research and I was wondering if you could explain how you find really really old posts on tumblr for your videos (especially since the search function on tumblr is kinda sucky).

Tumblr’s shit garbage search function CAN be defeated and I will tell you how.

You only need 1 post from a non-deleted blog to get started. Go to that blog’s archive and navigate to when the post was made — if we’re talking about a big event like dashcon or the exposing of HIVliving, now you’ve likely found a series of posts that person reblogged during the event (because that’s how tumblr users tend to respond and circulate information about a thing). Now make note of the blogs those posts were reblogged from or go through the notes and find the blogs that reblogged them after. Even better if the OPs aren’t deactivated. Now go through those archives. You very quickly start building a network of people who were involved or invested in a thing and uncovering unknown posts about the matter that never would been found otherwise.

Some of the users you come across might even still be active and you can ask them about it!!!

I was honestly shocked how easy (though time consuming) it was to collect information about what happened at dashcon this way. I found easily over 100 confirmed attendees and ended up being able to talk to 50-ish.

TLDR: search function bad archive function VERY VERY GOOD.

The great thing about not being as popular as @totally-bing is that I can post without ever having to worry about the popular gimmick blogs finding me

[grecoromanyaoi]

idk i think learning basic dogwhistles is more effective than any callout bc 99% of the time ppl dont even try to hide it and imao you should not need people to point out to you that a user named smth like wombynation is a radical transmisogynist or that valhalla8148 is a nazi like

[bunjywunjy]

What’s your favorite cursed chipmunk fact?

chipmunks looooove to eat baby mice. if they find a nest they'll just horf the little guys down like popcorn.

like this but way worse!

they'll eat adult mice too, if they can catch them!

it is simply not safe to be a smaller rodent anywhere in the vicinity of a chipmunk.
