it really just depends on what you want to do! for example, i dump all my 'general' posts into one account, so you get a mix of everything. i only sort things onto multiple accounts as a personal preference thing. tumblr is like the most chill social media for it, you can do whatever you want forever. dump everything onto one blog? cool! have 10 different sideblogs for different fandoms or purposes? awesome! but again people LOVE reblogs, and in fact it's not unusual to reblog things more than once, or go through someone's entire post history and like/reblog it all. it isn't like instagram where people are gonna think you're a stalker if you reblog a post from a month ago, here posts from literally over a decade ago are still circulating and being reblogged. it's not even unusual for someone to go batshit and reblog something like 30 times in a row. notifications are a GOOD thing here, most people don't mind being spammed at all and in fact take joy in it (I've literally never had anyone react negatively to it and I've been here a couple years). also for tagging, you can tag both for 'public/reach' tags (tagging an art post as '#art', which makes it show up in the #art tag for everyone), and 'sorting' tags (tagging an art post as '#my art', which makes it show up in the public #my art tag, yes, but no one is looking there - it's so if they use the search function on your account specifically, they can see every post you tagged with #my art on your account alone). but honestly there really aren't too many steadfast 'rules', just some advice you can take with a grain of salt and some culture stuff. for example, don't feed the trolls, don't like don't engage (as in, just block a user instead of leaving them hate mail or making a callout post), don't come into someone's house and start rearranging their furniture (their blog is their blog and your blog is yours, don't tell them how to run their stuff), generally just don't be a hater LOL. very chill here, nothin to worry about :>

This helps so so much, I love learning Tumblr culture. I'll definitely have to take some time to get my blog(s?) set up and everything because oooooh now I know to USE this website. You have given a fox the tools to use the Internet /silly

Honestly, I was super intimidated when I first got Tumblr but I'm actually hella excited to use it and start posting and reblogging stuff! I want to organize stuff and plan out everything a little bit more so everything looks nicer/runs smoother (which also means I have to go back through thousands of liked posts to sort them but I think it'll be worth it) but ooooh the possibilities are endless in my mind. I am going to have such a fun time sorting everything into boxes (tags) and making things look pretty. I also am excited to leave funny tags on posts maybe. Because that is genuinely one of my favorite things about Tumblr is the funny tags that people leave.

Thank you for teaching me all of this without judgement <3 It means a lot and I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions in the future, but I'm excited to post stuff and reblog all the art I've favorited and squirrelled away in discord channels because I wanted to remember them for more than 10 minutes. Bouncing with so much excitement

ay, the first step is reblogging! if you find a post you like, hit the reblog, maybe leave some tags. that's how this site thrives! or in other words- likes don't really do anything except show OP that you, well, liked the post, reblogs are how they actually spread around the site (there's a bit of a 'reblog drought' when it comes to creative types like art/writing what-have-you, so reblogs are more appreciated than ever). i honestly never post much myself, but i reblog things i like an occassionally dump things onto several side accounts (art, writing, Flight Rising, a couple others). never be afraid to reblog, it makes people's day and helps this site be this site!

I am writing all of this down and nodding my little head. I usually never reblog stuff simply because I am so incredibly terrified of giving people notifications. But knowing it makes people happy and helps them out on this website is very encouraging. How do side blogs work? Is it better to organize stuff into side blogs as opposed to piling everything into one account? I am very excited to be learning how to Tumblr. Tumbling, if you will. /silly

the blank blog is so pure. so clean. like freshly-washed pool tiles with the utmost clear sparkly water catching in the sunlight and a single yellow rubber ducky floating across. do you understand the vision /silly

Yeah I've been meaning to get around to posting stuff here for like. Two years. Same with redoing my blog but I have no clue what I'm doing on this site someone needs to have a college class. Tumblr 101. I am so lost please someone save me /silly

Anyways the water theme stuff you described sounds sick as hell I might actually go with that thank youuuuuu
