Migrating to WordPress now is an interesting choice, considering all the drama they’re in right now.
I thought so too but the people who own Tumblr now are the same people causing that drama.
They’ve been talking about this for years, wake me up when they actually do it. Or don’t, whatever.
TIL: Tumblr is still alive.
What’s the point of it just being WordPress though? That’s…odd.
It’s because tumblr is owned by the company of one of the original wordpress creators.
Yes it is, and my wife is one of two who pays a subscription to it…
They’re completely incompatible systems. Tumblr was always more of a microblog while WordPress is basically a CMS, at this point. The only way to get those two to talk would be to federate, now that I think about it.
Why are you comparing them as if they’re equivalent?? Wordpress is being used as a backend for tumblr
I didn’t know. I’m used to the version you self-host, not whatever the service is using.
Sorry, I mean why even call it Tumblr if it’s just WordPress at this point?

Wordblur; I like that one.
Ignorant question incoming: Would this result in a huge influx of traffic if your instance federates with tumblr, because you’re federating with all of tumblr? Or do individual tumblr blogs need to federate with each instance?
Why? All the furries are already here.
Don’t they support video posts?

Hmm. Apparently so.

It’ll need to be a MOV or MP4 file.
-
You can post up to 20 videos per day.
-
A single video can be up to 10 minutes in length.
-
The video upload size limit is 500 MB per video.
-
The total video time limit per day is 60 minutes.
Well, it’s not an open platform, but I guess it may be a platform with the resources to serve some serious video, and it’ll be on the Fediverse.
We have been having a lot of discussions about what it would take to get video on the Fediverse at more than PeerTube scale.
I don’t use tumblr, don’t know if they provide a video-centric interface, but I imagine that one could always write a software package to index those videos and link to them. Maybe PeerTube can already do that, haven’t played with it enough to know.
Now that is Interesting.
I had some thoughts about getting public domain short films into the Fediverse but you’d rapidly exhaust the allowance on most instances. However, this might just be the ticket. Time to brush off my Tumblr password…
Maybe PeerTube can already do that, haven’t played with it enough to know.
You’d think Peertube would be able to.
