How do you find all those posts w like 2 notes from 2012? I really like it btw. Cool blog

hi anon !! Thanks for getting in touch, and for the kind words(◕‿◕✿)

Basically the way I use tumblr is kinda weird. So unlike probably 99.9% of users , I'm never on the dashboard. I usually have a bunch of blogs saved, which I try and scroll through the entirety of. This means that a lot of the posts I'm being exposed to are from early on, and so I find more blogs that maybe stopped posting a while ago, and that just carries on and on until I find niche blogs from years ago that maybe only one person ever reblogged anything from. Sometimes, nobody has even touched the blog.

Now first let me explain how I find these blogs. So as well as never using the dashboard, I also never use any sort of algorithm. Every blog I've ever found (they're probably in the thousands now) I've found by visiting the via and source of a post I found interesting. If there's no via or source and it has barely any notes, I'd check out the blogs in the notes. Now it's tempting to check every blog in the notes, or every blog in the via chain - just in case you don't miss any blog out. But this can be tedious. I suggest sticking to just checking out a couple of different blogs from each cool post you find.

Now, how do I go all the way back through a blog without using tumblr's inbuilt archive feature (because it's horrible)? I use 3rd party tumblr viewers. My favourites are multitab Tumblr for iOS when I'm on the go, and the tumblr collage Google Chrome extension. I use the latter by simply dragging the image to another window, because it hasn't been updated in the best part of a decade and functionality is severely reduced. I then save all the tabs of posts I've dragged across as bookmarks and revisit them after a while to like them all and fast draft from my likes feed view - use xkit chrome extension for the fast draft feature on desktop. But multitab Tumblr on the other hand, that's always getting updates to this day, and has so so so many wonderful features. So you're way better off using that if you're on iOS or MacOS.

Then I like to queue all the posts I've added to drafts from desktop or multitab Tumblr, and set my queue to output a post every 6 minutes. This makes it so 240 posts get outputted every day, only 10 less than the post limit. I also shuffle my queue a lot.

Anyway I hope that helps answer your question:) hit me up if you'd like to know more.
