Hi Tumblr Newbies,

The inevitable new influx of people means a roundup of folks talking about "we don't have an algorithm here," "you NEED to reblog things," etc. and I would just like to offer some actually helpful advice.

One of tumblr's best assets is that it offers you multiple algorithmic feeds, including not having one at all. If you are on mobile, you will notice a "following" tab, followed by a "for you" tab, which is algorithmically generated. "Following" only includes posts from people you follow, in reverse chronological order. That's it. The vast majority of tumblr users prefer it this way, as we predate algorithms.

If you are new and looking to expand what you're finding quickly, you can browse under the algorithmic feed and tweak it once you've followed a few blogs and liked a few things - under "settings," you can choose to have posts related to your likes, or the likes of people you follow.

However - again, most users on this website do not use the algorithm. It's for that reason that reblogging posts is of such importance here. Liking a post is an appreciated sign of goodwill, but for the majority of users, it will not boost the post. Many of use use likes just as a save folder.

So if you genuinely like something you see on here, I encourage you to reblog it, because that is the only way the post will continue to spread around. Almost everyone started their blog with a theme they were loathe to ruin with an unrelated reblog, but by now most of us are just streams of consciousness showing each other things we find funny or interesting, and if you view your blog the same way you will have a much more enjoyable experience.

Yall, I diagnose the creative energy of the mecha pilot au community as highly contagious and suspiciously inspirational,, here! Have some art as compensation,, TuT🫶

I can’t even with all the art and shenanigans! It’s everywhere?? You are all some little creative geniuses! 😭🙌

It has been a great day at Dragon Con. I found this in the Marriot,and when I solved it, a child dressed as a Korok ran out to give me a piece of candy.

Okay. So, as we inch ever closer to the release of Sonic 3, I want to throw this out as kind of a pre-emptive plea to the Sonic fandom as a whole.

I do not want a rerun of the anger, the venom, the hate that was so prevalent after the Knuckles series came out.

I get that the movie universe isn't everyone's cup of tea. I get that some are angry at the direction the films have chosen, at the changes made to characters, at the changes made to lore and backstories and whatnot.

I get that. I really, really do.

But I'm imploring those of you who do not like the movies, please keep your scu rants behind tags so that we who do enjoy the films can filter it out. The negativity that ran rampant when the series came out hurt a lot of people. My own motivations and excitement for the movie-verse as a whole dropped, and hasn't fully returned. I came into the fandom by way of the movies, so seeing such hatred for what I truly enjoyed was like a kick in the gut.

Are the movies perfect? No. No media is perfect. But they're my 'home base' of Sonic media. How I came in. They opened up all other Sonic lore and characters and backstories to me. So they hold a special place in my heart. And I know a number of other people who came into Sonic that way, too.

I'm in no way trying to censor anyone. Spout your rants. Voice your opinion, by all means. Just, please tag it appropriately so those who do not agree and do not want to see that negativity can filter it out. That's all I ask.

Thank you.

release me you bastard i am not a yummy gyoza dumpling

I'm still very confused about how things work here, but there was an attempt
