And it is so cool

When the Haiku bot adds in

Its own special spice.

Hi Tumblr Newbies,

The inevitable new influx of people means a roundup of folks talking about "we don't have an algorithm here," "you NEED to reblog things," etc. and I would just like to offer some actually helpful advice.

One of tumblr's best assets is that it offers you multiple algorithmic feeds, including not having one at all. If you are on mobile, you will notice a "following" tab, followed by a "for you" tab, which is algorithmically generated. "Following" only includes posts from people you follow, in reverse chronological order. That's it. The vast majority of tumblr users prefer it this way, as we predate algorithms.

If you are new and looking to expand what you're finding quickly, you can browse under the algorithmic feed and tweak it once you've followed a few blogs and liked a few things - under "settings," you can choose to have posts related to your likes, or the likes of people you follow.

However - again, most users on this website do not use the algorithm. It's for that reason that reblogging posts is of such importance here. Liking a post is an appreciated sign of goodwill, but for the majority of users, it will not boost the post. Many of use use likes just as a save folder.

So if you genuinely like something you see on here, I encourage you to reblog it, because that is the only way the post will continue to spread around. Almost everyone started their blog with a theme they were loathe to ruin with an unrelated reblog, but by now most of us are just streams of consciousness showing each other things we find funny or interesting, and if you view your blog the same way you will have a much more enjoyable experience.

tumblr: the only place where the news of the attempted assassination of a former president was conveyed via an old supernatural meme and is somehow still less popular than gay porn

Answers one ask about marrying a character from our game, immediately receives 20 asks to marry, adopt, and kiss more characters from our game. Also a question asking which grumpus is the most edible. Despite Floofty's best efforts, it's probably Gramble. He looks like cotton candy.

Go with god, my angels. The horses do not exist to dictate how you engage with media. We just make the funny muppets with big feelings. GLHF o7

> "check out communities !"

> I click check out

> It takes me to the labs page

> there's nothing about communities

[useless-englandfacts]

I'm sure that's what Peirce Morgan tells himself.

Omg lmao am I seriously being compared to Piers Morgan bc I don’t think people saying Kate Middleton had a bbl is the same as the insanely racist hate campaign led by the British press against Meghan Markle just for existing
