Blogs that I think should be made to replace Subreddits:

- A dedicated Ask Blog, where users submit asks (anonymously or not), and the blog either automatically (using a bot) or under review posts them to signal boost the question and get other blogs to answer them. A few generic “ask anything” blogs would be good, but then over time more specific ones would develop.

- Various confessional blogs. There are a few fandom related ones, but some general and more irl related ones would be good (like Gardening Confessions or something, in addition to a general “IRL-Confessions” blog)

- Hobby blogs, focused on specific hobbies that users can follow to see their posts and reblogs concerning that hobby. There are already some but we should have more. Maybe bigger ones that are automated can allow people to submit posts.

- Resource blogs, where people can request and provide specific resources through submitting asks. Great for computer people and hobbies. And there could be a pinned master post of especially popular posts.

Basically I’m saying we should make blogs that use bots + submissions to replace subreddits, because Tags will not do shit I guarantee it, and tags allow staff to develop an algorithm and we will not under any circumstance allow that.

Also I’m not saying everyone should start making dedicated blogs (although that would be fun but forces people to organize and compartmentalize their likes so maybe it wouldn’t be), but some people should start blogs that their communities (or the site as a whole) should make popular so people can be directed to them when they’re interested in asking questions, finding resources, or dumping their random thoughts on something somewhere. Reddit had its issues but its numerous subreddits made that easy, but with the right approach we can make that possible on Tumblr too!
