#tumblr newbie

[treeembrace]

I'm shocked, flabbergasted, and flattered by the reception on my refrigerator post. I've been on the big blue hellsite for about 3 weeks now and I've somehow amassed over 80 followers and over 900 reblogs. I have over the last 3 days received more positive messages and warm welcomes and all sorts of feel good stuff then ever before. Thank you, everyone who has reblogged, liked, or just read any of my posts.

Unfortunately, with 85 adopted children at the time of writing this, I'm no long able to afford to feed all of you and will henceforth be appearing on a daytime talkshow before abandoning you all in the woods. Good luck.

this is a bit embarrassing but how do people make friends on tumblr? twitter is my main social media and i have been priv for years so idk what im doing on the public internet😭

but! if anyone wants to be mutuals, i mostly post about linked universe, zelda, and death note! those are my most strong interests rn but i also love other game series like final fantasy, resident evil, drakenier, silent hill, minecraft and stuff like that :)

my favorite LU boys are legend and hyrule, and my favorite link is the hero of time🤠

And just after answering that ask, I got a notification that today is this blog's 10th birthday! I recalled that I first got a Tumblr account in October 2014 although I didn't remember on what date, and I know I didn't actually post here (or do much more than follow a few people and lurk) until New Year's Day 2015.

I wonder, what makes people decide to deactivate their tumblr blog/account?

How I dragged @p1nk-l3mon4d3 to tumblr

[reenareads]

Let’s start this Friday with a nice cup of tea, listening to the rain outside the window while getting some paperwork done. 🫶🏻🪽

[saint-hannibal]

@petrowriting is holding my hand, guiding me through the rolling fields of tumblr. Look! There’s the wild orgy! Oh, and over there! The Hannibal fandom plotting the Hrab lore! Oh, and to my left is the symbolic dumpster fire that tumblr patrons come visit every day. It’s a shrine, you know, who’s flames never extinguish.

Wow! I love tumblr!

[treeembrace]

So after making one successful post I have a bunch of people following me, but they've followed for stuff unrelated to my actual interests, and now I'm psyching myself out evert time I want to hit reblog on a post. "Oh no, I can't reblog this. What would the internet strangers think? They followed me for..." Actually right now I'm not sure why y'all followed me. Pity maybe? And why do I even care? The numbers don't actually mean anything. I shouldn't care if people unfollow me because they don't want to see whatever weird stuff I'm into.

But I do.

How do I Tumblr?

I'm kinda new and IDK what to do with my tabs to see new things... If somebody a bit tumblr-age older could help me understand this, that would be sweet.

Like at the moment, I just randomly click between 'for you' 'following' and 'your tags' and refresh spasmodically lol

What's the go-to method for seeing cool stuff on your dashboard? Also, do we call it a dashboard, feed, or something else?

[sing-you-fools]

i know everyone likes to complain about tumblr. hellsite. webbed site. no nuance. no reading comprehension. and i get it, but you're also - i'm sorry - wrong.

ever since i joined over here, every time i log on to fb, i am just like: damn the vibes here are fucking rancid.

if tumblr flunked reading comprehension it did so with a 45% on the test. fb got an 11%. tumblr flunked nuance with a 39% but fb got a 2%. tumblr just barely scraped a pass in "don't be a dick" and "admitting you were wrong," at 65% and 62% respectively, while fb completely skipped those tests and is still screaming at the teacher about the 0%s it got. you think tumblr's actual functionality is fucked? lol. LOL i tell you.

and i was on fb because it was better than the other ones i'd tried. now i can barely stay five minutes.

"where are you going now that--" fucking nowhere. this isn’t a "i've been here for so long i can't leave" thing this is a "i finally found a scrap of dry land when i've been stuck at sea for decades and i'm not fucking leaving without a damn good reason" situation. sure, they're letting the ai in. did you know when you go to post on fb, it automatically tries to convince you to have ai help you write your post now? going elsewhere doesn't solve the ai problem in the slightest. this isn’t a reason to dive back into the sea. not yet.

[uchiha-gaeshi]

heyy i saw your so many queued posts and was wondering can you explain it please? or maybe do you have posts that kinda explaining that? i'm kinda new here on tumblr and I already searched it on google still I'm confused. thanks in advance btw!

Tumblr's Queue

I think there might be a post somewhere on this site explaining the queue, but I haven't been able to locate it yet.

Basically, the "queue" is where your scheduled posts go. How do you schedule a post? When you're about to post or reblog, to the right of the "Post" button you'll see a dropdown menu. Once you click on the dropdown icon, you will see options for adding the post to the queue, scheduling the post for a specific time and date, saving the post in your drafts, etc.

Both scheduled posts and queued posts end up in your blog's "queue" (and keep in mind that if you have multiple blogs, each blog has its own queue, drafts etc.), but queued post are posted automatically based on your queue settings (which I will get to soon). Scheduled posts are posted at the time you specified (e.g. 30 July 2026 at 17:00).

Beware though, because if you're anything like me, you'll start putting *all* your posts into the queue until one day you realize that you can no longer queue a post or schedule it to be posted at a certain time, but you can post/reblog it as usual. Why? It's most likely because you have exceeded 1 000 posts in the queue, and apparently that's too much for Tumblr.

Where to find the queue (On Desktop)

From the dashboard landing page, click on the "Account" option on the left hand sidebar.

From there, click on the blog of your choice (some people might have more, some people might have just one blog).

You will see the "Queue" option on the right-hand sidebar (again, make sure that this is for the right blog. Don't make the mistake of putting your horny posting on your sfw blog. I learned this...... from a friend.)

And now, you can view all of your queued/scheduled posts here. From the top of the page (highlighted in red below), you can control when and how often the queue publishes posts (for queued posts only, scheduled posts are published on a specific date). You can also shuffle queued posts (randomizes the order posts appear), or pause your queue.

Within the queue, you can manually change the order of queue postings by 1) sending posts to the top of the queue by clicking the upward arrow icon (circled in red)

2) or by clicking and holding the four dots icon (idk what to call it) and dragging the post to the position you want it to be in. On mobile, there is a similar process for sending posts to the top of the queue, and changing the order of posts is a bit easier since there is another icon that moves the post up/down one step.

One note of caution: if you don't have infinite scroll toggled on (this controls how posts are displayed both on your dashboard and in your drafts/queue), you can only move posts to the top of the specific page you are on. If you want post #326 to become post #1, you must turn on infinite scroll to do so. This applies both for mobile and desktop.

When to use the queue

The thing with Tumblr is that there aren't really any rules with how you manage your blog. Whether you have a tag for every post, or whether you post/reblog 100 times a day or just once a month, or whether to have one blog where you just dump everything or 50 blogs for every fleeting hyperfixation, it's all up to you. When it comes to using the queue, from what I've seen, some users have it on when they're stepping away from the site for a bit just to have something on their blog. This can be as frequently as 40 times a day, or as infrequently as once a day. Many people, even if they don't use the queue as much, do schedule posts for certain days. For example, if I see fanart for Izuna's birthday (which is 10 February btw) in like August, I can schedule that post for 10 February 05:00 in my timezone (or if most of your mutuals are in Europe, CET I guess). On mobile at least, the limit is 31 December 2038.

I started using the queue after seeing a Tumblr post somewhere (I can't locate it because I was on lurker mode at the time) that said that you should use it to not "overwhelm people's dashboards." Now, I've figured out that if you spend a lot of time on here, it's either overwhelming people's dashboards or overwhelming your own damn queue (and drafts when the queue is too pussy to take a mere 1 000 posts). Do what feels right for you and your overly sensitive queue and draft space (this is me dissing Tumblr as a site, not the users), and that might change over time as you get a feel for this site and maybe some of the norms in the spaces you find yourself in. And maybe you find different things work for different blogs. Some poeple have general stuff posted frequently on one blog (usually the "main" or "personal" blog), while they have a few posts scattered here and there for like their art blog.

I hope this post has helped you (and anyone else scratching their head at this) better understand how the queue works. If you have more specific questions, feel free to ask, and I'll try my best to answer :)

Jupidad - Analytical Ramblings so far…

This post serves as an index for all the Jupidad bits so far… nothing new, just an easier way to access them

Nothing new to see here, just making myself a kind of contents page so I don’t get RSI by scrolling to figure out if I already mentioned something.
