How to make friends on tumblr

[(Anonymous)]

I need some tips, because apparently my approach isn't working.

Re: How to make friends on tumblr

[intrigueing]

Follow people and reblog their stuff with thoughtful/funny comments. Quoting their tags (if you genuinely do like their tags) helps.

Well, what are you doing?

Though, I find it to be VERY hard to make friends on tumblr. The website is not really designed for it.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I tried the subltle approach, with reblogging and faving stuff, following them and tagging things. I've also sent asks just asking about things they've posted. It sucks because my fandom is on tumblr. I've also seen people make friends on tumblr and it's all on my dash, so it looks like the site is just rubbing it in my face.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

That's a start, but tbh I don't think it's going to work for making friendships. LOTS of people follow, reblog and fave stuff on tumblr without ever speaking a single word to you. It's like someone friending you on Facebook and liking your posts, it's all passive and doesn't actually open up a dialogue.

Unfortunately, I think tumblr's a really poor place to try and hold a conversation. You can do it if you're determined, but it's more of a pain in the ass.

The thing about Tumblr is it's a good way to meet people, but in terms of actual friendships and stuff - you don't do that on Tumblr. You find other ways to talk (i.e. arranging to chat on Facebook or on some other kind of medium).

I meet people irl or on fandomsecrets and we exchange tumblrs

follow them and inbox them.
like really. I wish people would inbox me after following. I message people when I follow them just to say hi.

Try something not tumblr. Tumblr is horrible for personal interactions.

Re: How to make friends on tumblr

[morieris]

I comment on people's posts. Not obnoxious comments at the end of an image post, but in a reply. I may talk back and forth with them on a post that IS an obnoxious comment on an image post.

Re: How to make friends on tumblr

[fingalsanteater]

In my experience, you don't.

Re: How to make friends on tumblr

[forgottenjester]

I'll be your friend on tumblr?

Otherwise I have nothing. Sorry.

When you reblog, add comments or content. Let people know who you are and not just another plain reblog. If you like tags, reblog with their tags and add your own comment on top of that. Send Asks or Fan Mail or whatever. It takes time and it's hit or miss, but basically you really need to put your personality into your reblogs/posts, not just be another quite heart or reblog.

Re: How to make friends on tumblr

[tamabonotchi]

I've met some cool people from sharing tumblrs on threads! Followed them, then comment on their posts. Sometimes I send them asks about something they shared like asking them where they got the new shoes, etc.

As for more fandom-related things, you can make posts/ask people about new things that come out. If you do fanart/fic, ask them if they have any ideas or make a post asking for suggestions.
I understand though, op. I have no idea how the people make close friends on tumblr if they're not a BNF, especially with tumblr's awkward communication.
I have a feeling, though, they use other sites or Skype to talk somewhere else more easily than tumblr.

Blog original content, actually have reblogging discussions. Just reblogging/liking thing = not noticeable at all (unless you've been at it consistently in which case hi random person i recognise your name but we're not friends)

Remember friendship is never owed and you cannot force it. No matter how much you want to be someone's friend.

Just...participate and interact really, then hopefully friendship will happen.

(and again, reblogging without commentary and liking things is not interacting ;) )
