Tumblr... Do you use it?

[CaptnHeroic]

For the past 2 years, I've had a Tumblr account. I used to post on it every week. Now, it just gets all of my instagram feed. I never post directly to it.

Do you use Tumblr? If so, how often? What do you usually look at? Do you read webcomics there?

FYI, If you want to check mine out it's here: http://jonathan-greer.tumblr.com/

Put a link to yours below, and maybe get a follow or two!

yeah. its the first social media i got and the only one i could rly get the hang of bc it was fairly anonymous and didnt have any expectations of interacting with ppl you know irl. so... i go on it every day, my feed is usually art and humour, and i dont like reading webcomics on tumblr bc i think its just the wrong format

i will never, ever link to my tumblr

[Panqiuyan]

i don't use it.................

Definitely! I suppose your mileage may vary with tumblr, which I think really hinges on finding the right blogs/communities to follow. I really dislike Instagram in that there is so much reposting. I don't care if there is credit, if the artist/author said no reposting, that means no reposting...Sure, it happens on tumblr too, but at least tumblr has a reblog feature.

I use tumblr daily following various fandom people and a lot of artists, and I follow webcomics there too. A lot of webcomics are posted there, and sometimes it's an easy way for me to subscribe.

My mostly-writing-ish tumblr is http://bafflinghaze.tumblr.com

It's still my main social platform of choice. Been on it for 5 years.

I like it over others because of
1. the tagging system. You can find what you want and organize your own blog well with them. Fuck the tags on twitter.
2. reblogability. It's so easy to reblog things you like and add in your own additions if you so desire.
3. easy to keep images along with relevant info with links etc.
4. not as much art reposting as instagram. it's easy to share art from the original source with a simple reblog so fewer people are inclined to repost.

Even after the NSFW purge it remains my number one platform and I haven't noticed any real decrease in traffic.

I don’t go often anymore, but I still use it sometimes. I honestly just log in to post art then leave, then go back when i have more finished art. It’s sort of an afterthought now. My community has always been on Twitter. But tumblr is good for getting commissions too, as info spreads around quickly. I don’t read webcomics on tumblr.

I've been on tumblr since 2011. Even if I wanted to leave, I can't at this point :"") and it doesn't help the other platforms are only worse.
I personally did notice multiple blogs I follow going inactive after the purge, and yet my unpopular blog still gets regularly followed by porn bots... And welp everyone knows how the community on tumblr is, but I'm pretty careful about who I follow so I'm keeping my distance from any unreasonable people

Personal blog where I mostly reblog art, weeb things, memes and cats (so you know, the standard tumblr stuff)
Sort of a devlog for my comic, I post mostly art related to it there (has slight spoilers for the story, I guess?)

Yes! Not as active as I used to be but I use it to make big announcements and share comic update links. Got a few false "adult content" flags on my main one which is sucky but I have a few different tumblrs for different fandoms. The Animal Crossing tumblr I have is my favourite, I've met crazy cool people through it and get to collaborate on so many awesome commissions.

My main ♬ A mix of kung fu/wuxia/vgm reviews I write, friend art, and aesthetic reblogs as well as my own art and comics updates

My Animal Crossing ♬ All commission illustrations and personal illustrations I make for the game (really, really, really excited for the Switch release this year [hopefully!])

[Rhonder]

I was legitimately never able to wrap my head around how it works so I kinda just stopped :X like my posts just wouldn't show up with the tags I used, or if they did inconsistently. And trying to create "next" "last" links for comic pages was glitching out for me as well.

granted, I still mirror my Insta posts there since it's an easy option that takes no effort, but like tumblr wasn't at all user friendly (for me at least) unlike most other social media platforms I've tried

[JeanGuillet]

I use it as a hook in blog for my website. It handles all the code, my code takes over and displays it how I want on my website. It loads very fast, easy javascript call. In my experience tumblr is terrible to find anything on and no one can discover your work either, (I see people are saying that they've got a powerful tagging system...I'll have to revisit this & try to get tags working for me ) . It's a great blog software. And free!

I've been using tumblr for nine years... I guess since it opened. It was great in it's hey day but it's dying down now. All the blogs I used to follow have just dropped. Part of it were people I knew IRL that I now keep in contact elsewhere, another part was the lolita community which I fell out of (and I think maybe they moved too?), and the rest IDK. I was using it lately to post GIFS on my gif blog since tumblr is really the only place for the sentai/toku fandom to share gifs.

I'm not sure who's using tumblr anymore. They scared away all the artist and they mostly focus on instagram, and the really ambitious ones that wanna make money go on youtube. All the young/kids who are into fandom are on amino. Even the SJW moved over to twitter.

but here ya go:

Who still uses it? Aside from pornbots, people who have nowhere else to go, eg. me :"")
I can't use discord (it doesn't mesh with my old PC, apparently) or instagram (can't post without a mobile device), twitter is pretty bleh for a number of reasons, facebook is... facebook, etc.

I kinda hate how social media is these days in general and tumblr is the one website I can tolerate (though the staff is sure trying hard to make it intolerable).

[zammap]

ooohhhh... tech reasons.... yeah it really sucks that instagram doesn't upload on PC. I hate the run around I have to do. I was excited when a few months ago amino updated and lets you upload on desktop.

[indagold]

I thought tumblr died after the lewd apocalypse but I still keep mine active and somehow theres still people alive on it.

I have my main art blog

Art and Stuff

and my comic blog:

All Broken Gods

Here's praying tumblr doesn't become myspace cause its the only place I got interaction ;-;

Mah artblog but I kinda stopped posting here :''')

[sushy00]

Yes, I use Tumblr. I love it. It is the best social media channel in my opinion. I especially like it that you can fnid such specific things! Like very relatable texts regarding mental health, anxiety and stuff.
But I also post my comic there and my artwork too.

[Zin_Trollborn]

Not anymore since that last update, also the majority of the people I followed left it.
That's really a shame 'cause it was like a little place of freedom.

I mean I only used it because everyone else did and some personal reasons. It really does have a terrible interface, I like taking breaks from social media so when I return to Tumblr I'd always forget how to use the clunky, terrible interface, overall I was never popular on it and it's just a hassle to use so I just stopped recently. I need to find my fellow men of culture somewhere else.
