Well, so as the thing says, I’ve updated the software a lot, comissioned an artist for a logo and now is not a hell to install.

    What differences does this have over Lemmy?

    Edit: I never actually used Tumbler

      Tumblr is a blogging experience that’s similar to Twitter, but more focused on the user itself than on the central feed.

      • You have your blogs and you post there. Yes, you can have many blogs.
      • There’s global feeds with posts from all users, potentially including yours.
      • Posts can have non-intrusive hashtags, meaning they are not #partOfThePost, but in a separate, smaller, dedicated section of the post.
      • You can’t post stuff to someone else’s blog, but you can comment on their posts. Comments are tiny next to the post.
      • You can quote posts, but that makes a duplicate in a blockquote rather than linking to the original post like Twitter

      Tumblr is short-form blogging platform, inspired by tumbleblogs, which were a thing back in the day (another example of Big Tech lifting an idea and then walling it off). So it’s like micro-blogging but without the word limit, so you can throw out a thought or a picture or a video, or go into greater detail if the mood took you. On Tumblr people would tend to have a few on different topics.

      I much preferred it to Twitter as it felt a lot more free-form but usually focused on a topic.
