#new tumblr user

[buildabettermeme]

So you know how when you're a new Tumblr user that defected from Reddit because that ship is going dooowwwnn baaybaayy, and you don't really know how everything works yet, and so somehow you end up on your own profile page but you dont realize thats its your own and you scroll like 5 posts and you think to yourself "wow I agree with everything Im seeing this is interesting" and then its like "wait I think Ive read all these before" and then you freeze and look at the top bar and see your own tag and realize "oh god fuck I have just reblogged all these posts another time over" and then you have to go through and make sure you dont have unintended duplicates and burn in shame in hopeful privacy because fuck Im making a gigantic fool of myself on this lovely platform that I did not download nearly quickly enough

i don’t understand what tumblr considers a top post because i have that one post blowing up with like 80+ notes on it but tumblr’s like HEY GUYS look at these posts with only 15-17 notes! isn’t that impressive?!

[internetgiraffekid1673]

Hey I know these problaby aren't the question you where thinking where gonna come up here but I have a couple rapped fire questions I don't know who to ask and your the only one who ever consistently comes into my page so here I go:

How does one game followers on this app because whenever I post something I feel like I'm just waiting my time cuz nobody ever sees the stuff I'm writing or making, and I know people say to just be who you are and do what you like but I've been doing that and I have a total of six followers (and in all honesty your the only person who ever interacts with my posts)

Is it better to just spew out content or space out posts? I have all these ideas and things I want to make and post but I feel like if I post over something it's gonna have an even smaller chance of being seen and that honestly hurts cuz I put allot of time and effort into my posts for literally no one to see them!

Okay I know that was a lot and I'm sorry but I just don't know how else to ask and you seem like you would know that kind of thing because you always get notes on your posts, if these are questions you can't or don't wanna answer that's obviously fine but If you do choose to answer I would really appreciate it since I'm new to this whole Tumblr thing and I have never had a platform like this.

Anyway I'm done rambling, answer or no answer thank you for your time and I just wanted to thank you for everything!

Hello! Dear friend! First of all, some bigger blogs don't mind signal boosting. You can drop an ask into the inbox of some of them and be like, "hey, do you think you could ask people to look at my art and/or writing? I'm having trouble finding people." Case in point: EVERYBODY GO FOLLOW @ellazimmermansblog , HER STUFF IS VERY COOL, SHE IS VERY FUNNY AND TALENTED, AND HER ART IS AMAZING! SHE MADE MY HEADER IMAGE!

I feel you on nobody interacting with your posts, it felt like a while before I found my people here! This is how I found them.

1) Follow other people. A lot of the followers I have are just my much cooler mutuals. Find someone who's blog you like. Follow them, interact with their posts, send them asks, that kind of thing. Just an example of the kind of asks you can send: I love OC content, and a lot of really cool people will happily infodump about their OCs if you ask them. A lot of people are happy to make friends. The way I find people to follow is part scrolling through tags for my interests, but also looking through likes and reblogged that were made on my own posts and seeing if I click with any of those folks.

2) Make fandom posts. Tumblr is a fandom website, and while I ADORE your original content, it is easier for people to find you through fandom and then get attached to your other stuff.

3) Be alright with screaming into the void. A lot of the time when I make posts, I'm not actually expecting anybody to interact with them, unless it's a fandom post. I'm kind of just screaming into the void. Sometimes I'll get pleasantly surprised and someone will interact with it, but my personal posts are all 0-3 note posts most of the time, while most of my fandom posts hover around 20ish and sometimes my posts "break containment," which I classify as anything over 50 notes (you can see which ones have broken for me in the top posts section).

4) Tag EVERYTHING. This one is annoying and boring and hard, but tags are how people see your posts. I spent a solid month just having an empty blog and stalking tumblr before I actually made a post, so I had a pretty good handle on what tags I should be using, because some of them aren't very intuitive. For example: I play wizard101 and that was one of the first posts I made where I found mutuals. Wizard 101 is tagged under #wizard101, #wizzy101, #wiz101, and #w101. That's FOUR different tags that people could be using, and if I wanted all of them to find that post, I had to use all four. Tumblr's auto-suggest tags are pretty helpful, but so is just scrolling through like a maniac.

(I also ramble in the tags of my posts. Just things I want to add that don't really belong in the main body of the post).

5) Post a lot. There are 2 types of people on this website: the people who are doing some kind of long-form project and don't really have time to make other posts, and the people who just post things and reblog things they like willy nilly. The long form project people also usually post their project on a side-blog and have a main account they use to still jabber and talk about stuff not related to it.

6) Reblog things. A LOT. Tumblr isn't really a "passive engagement" website. There's no algorithm on here. People prefer to curate their dashes very carefully based on the tags and the blogs they follow. So if you want to see more content for something you like, follow that person and reblog that post! ESPECIALLY posts that don't have very many notes, since those people are usually also looking for friends and engagement. You've probably noticed my blog is like 80% funny reblogs where I ramble in the tags and 20% my own nonsense.

7) And this last piece of advice is more for how to engage and less for how to get engagement yourself: find someone who is really bored and likes answering asks. They may not follow you back, but it'll be a fun conversation and way to engage and pass the time. I'm shy, so I look for people who are bored and have anons turned on like @call-me-chips (hope you don't mind the tag!) For people who are unaware, I am ALSO one of those people! Ask me questions! About anything! Even invasive ones! Including stuff I logically can't answer! Or just send me rants about things that you just want someone to hear! I love them! Send them as anons if you want! I don't care, I love talking to people on this website!

I hope this helps you find more of your people, and best of luck to you amigo! Remember to follow @ellazimmermansblog who I am tagging twice and praying that tumblr doesn't break for at least one of them!

awkward introductions ?

i don't think this is entirely necessary but i've spent the last few days void of human contact sOOOO.. but i guess i'm new to the world of f1 and looking for some direction and guidance!!

to kinda overshare my life,,, my partners family are really into f1 and we're all going to the british GP in july which is super cool (and i feel very lucky) and thanks to them i know odd details here and there. i also have a couple irls who have done some ppt nights to introduce me to all the drivers which was super cute!!

basically !! if you have anything you think is a great gateway in then please let me know! also if you just wanna be mutuals or whatever i am literally, heart on my sleeve, begging right now lmao <3

also, i've been on the cusp of a writing breakthrough and would love to start writing more!! so if you're into that too please let me know lmao (and what you write for!!)

i'm soooo sorry this is such an awkward ramble but i swear down i am not this awkward all the time LMAO i'm just tryna make some friends frrrrr

[churromancermasterofchurros]

Recently came to the conclusion that im not gonna get a lot of interaction with people on here the way im doing things. Y'all arent coming to me, so guess what that means?

I'm coming to YOU.

WATCH OUT.

[gothic-dawg]

hey y’all i’m an 18 year old loser just trying to see what tumblr is like these days since i haven’t been here in 2 years lol

[green-enby]

What the hell Tumblr!! I must have followed this blog, what, less than a week ago? And, we're both aroace! 😖 [scrunched face emoji]

Jokes aside, that's a funny feature; I'm completely new to Tumblr so this took me by surprise ^^" [happy eyes with sweat emoticon]

I guess I should take this chance to say: check @aro-and-ace-thoughts out, especially if you're aro and/or ace! His posts are pretty cool, they make me feel less alone in my experiences.

(Do tell me if you don't want me to tag you; I get that I'm a stranger and that might feel uncomfortable! Otherwise I hope the little promo for my insignificant blog can help you ^^ [happy eyes emoticon])

[maxity666]

I feel like a grandma using tumblr because I unlike most cool people on here never had a tumblr phase so I'm teaching myself how this app on my own within days and I keep realizing how i in ways messed up and I'm embarrassed everytime 😭

♪☆INTRODUCTION!!!☆♪

Hello there! I am Charlie! I decided a while back before making this post that I would make a tumblr account because I almost never use social media and I do not have any friends (except for my boyfriend) in the same fandoms as me. So, time to introduce myself!!

Pronouns: He/They/Xem

Sexuality: Pansexual

Names used: Charlie, Atlas and Vern for close friends :3

What I post: This usually varies. Most of the time it will most likely be art done on paper I take pictures of. Time to time I might post animations and maybe short fanfics I make.

Fandoms: I’ll sort them by most invested in to least right now!

Genshin Impact ~ HSR ~ Chonny Jash/CCCC/Jashlings ~ Good Omens ~ Tally Hall/Evil Hall ~ Will Wood ~ Jhariah ~ The Stanley Parable ~ Brain Dump ~ The Magnus Archives ~ Jazzpunk ~ Hannibal ~ OSC ~ Eddsworld ~ Sanders Sides ~ South Park ~ MCYT

If you do not support any of these fandoms, please DNI and just scroll.

Now, to finish off, I am also the creator of the @comicquest-officialblog (I think it’s private rn) and it is a series in progress about me and my friends going on cool adventures and journeys, along with lore and an awesome story line! I am planning to start it around Feb 2024 so stay tuned for posts about ComicQuest! :D

I think that is all about me so, yeah! Consider following me for more about me and other art posts! :3
