I honestly don't think tumblr is cliquey because there is no option for private groups or posts only viewable to certain people. The only privacy you have is responding to someones 'ask' directly instead of posting it publicly. Otherwise you can follow any blog and automatically have it on your dash without needing to be approved. Unlike on LJ where some communities have a screening process and friends-locked posts.

Tumblr is great for updates. Once someone posts something it's viewable for everyone, whether your following them or searching the tags. Whereas on LJ there are lots of times only approved people have access.

Sorry anon, you've just been lucky. I'm very pro-Tumblr, but I completely get why people don't like Tumblr as a fandom space.

And others have already mentioned the problems with following people who don't tag and how searches don't work properly, so I'll just say that the cliques there can indeed be private... they just go off-site to chat.

Just because you can follow someone's Tumblr without their approval, doesn't mean they're not part of a clique, though. Cliques don't have to operate in some kind of covert way. If anything, having outsiders watch (and covet belonging to, be it with gushing or jealous anon asks etc.) the cliquey behavior only reinforces it as superior to those within it, and creates that distinct "them" vs "us" line.

Cliques most certainly exist on Tumblr.
