    With Tumblr the bugs became features, so its only right for the fediverse version to do the same.

    Interesting. I like the UI. I doubt the aesthetic people on Tumblr would like it but that’s not the point.

    it’s always welcome to have more options in the fediverse.

    How is federation working, BTW? I see you’ve commented from wafrn, are you able to follow Lemmy communities from there?

      At first I read rn as m, and expanded that to What a Fucking Moron. 🙁 For that reason I might suggest changing the name.

      Looks like “Warfarin” to me, which is a blood thinner, and also a rat poison.

    I have to say, I never used Tumblr, but I know that it was suggested as an alternative to either Twitter and/or reddit. How is it different and or similar from microblogging and the threadiverse?

      I’ve seen it described as the social media site for people who hate social media.

      The story goes that when Facebook was becoming mainstream, a guy came along and decided he hated Facebook. So he hired a software engineer at his company to help him make a site that wasn’t Facebook in any way. Basically, the criteria for the site were that he could post photos on it and follow people whose photos he wanted to see, and he didn’t have to see anything he didn’t care about.

      So Tumblr is a very self-curated social media experience where there’s no brands or celebrities. You just search for stuff by hashtags, follow blogs that interest you, and post and reblog stuff at your whim. Everything is displayed on your dashboard chronologically, and the only stuff you’ll find on there is stuff from people you follow.

      The closest thing I’d describe it to is Twitter, but it’s more blogging than microblogging and the more direct interaction between you and the people you follow can feel a lot more personal than other forms of social media. You can send people messages that can be answered in a public post in addition to the usual direct message system. There’s no character limit on posts or anything, and people will write full short stories and stuff. It also has more of a sense of permanence, in my opinion. It isn’t uncommon to see popular posts crop back up that were created in 2012-2014.

      There’s a big culture of Yes And improv, shitposting, and reblogging really old posts on a periodic basis

        Define “real mail”.

        Will my usual accounts (GMail and Yahoo, I am still stuck in absolutely-proprietary land when it comes to e-mail) work? :P

    This is seriously one of my favorite things about the Fediverse… someone decided to make their own experience of it and build a platform… now it’s a thing.

    Kudos clever internet person!

      it started as a thing before being conected to the fedi. Its just that seemed like the best way of keeping the project alive and OH MY FUCKING GOD IT WAS HARD AND OH MY GOD I COMMITED SO MANY CRIMES AGAINST CODE

    Didn’t Tumblr announce ActivityPub support last month? They still have yet to implement it, so I guess you already beat them to that.

      they announced it more than a year ago, but tumblr now is on a skeleton crew. and no, I do not mean gay zombie pirates, I mean just a few of devs. AP is something hard, Ive done it my way but it would not scale to a tumblr scale.

      Also, they have to add a lot of stuff to the interface

    Went to check out the source code for the front-end and see if there was anything I could help out with… Saw it was made with Angular.

    oh no

    (Congrats on integrating Fedi into it!)
