Re: Tumblr - worth it or not?

As a strictly writer who's not interested in images, I'd personally just stick to AO3. I find Tmblr to be a shitty format for writing, but that's just me.

Thanks for answering.

I don't intend to write in it. I just feel like fandom is on Tumblr now. Like that's where the meta and discussions are going on. That's where people talk about the new episodes or the spoilers or whatever. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe that's what I want to know. I've seen a lot of people complain about how unfortunate Tumblr is for these things but if that's where they're happening, wouldn't it be easier for me to find them if I had a Tumblr? I don't know...

I personally can't use it for discussion, because the format drives me nuts for actually communicating. But maybe that's just me. But yeah, obviously you can just subscribe to a few blogs that are relevant to you and follow them. It's really what I do (though I am into fan art a lot).

It's not hard to set up, and you do not NEED to post content yourself.

Okay, I'm super Tumblr-illiterate here. When you say subscribe, that happens only with a Tumblr account right? Or is there a way to follow the blogs without a Tumblr account?

I like art but the reblogging thing seems a little weird to me. Like, there's a list at the bottom, right? So, it follows you around? You can't anonymously reblog? The only thing you could do is remake the post, which could border on stealing? But is the mindset that everything should be reblogged so it's no big deal? Is there notification of being reblogged?

I'm just trying to figure the system out before I incur the wrath of some SJW or something.

Well, you can read it without an account, but you can't follow blogs. I guess you could just bookmark a few, that's what I did in the beginning.

But you can really just create a new e-mailadress and have a generic tumblr account. You can follow blogs and like things without re-blogging stuff.

And yeah, if you created a post you can see who reblogged it. Re-posting art if the author already posted herself is indeed frowned upon, but it's not "stealing", it's more seen as stealing likes.

Okay, cool. Thanks!

There are ways to just follow the RSS feed of a tumblr blog, but it's not something I have done. You could just fave the blog in your browser, for that matter.

To sign in to Tumblr, give them an email address, and you can have an account with a "dashboard" of other tumblr users. Following them that way is actually pretty different from reading their blog from the outside, because the dashboard strips away the specific html design and some of the coding. This can be good or bad.
