Just gonna put this out there, if you ask, "Is this a scam?" or any sort of variant, you're gonna get indefinitely banned and it will be IMMEDIATE. Don't pass go, don't collect 200, straight to being banned.

Tumblr put out a PSA and even a help article on the subject and that subject is pinned.

Seeing those posts get old and, honestly, they're unnecessary to make considering the aforementioned. On top of this, pinned are at the top of the subreddit, the first things y'all should see, so you have less than 0 excuses.

Have a blessed day.

Update:

Subreddit is set to restricted. One can still post but the post will have to be approved. Have a blessed day.

So, the activity tab is showing that I've a notification, but i don't have any on any of blogs. Apparently that's a tumblr glitch.

Does anyone have any idea how can I fix it? It's irritating me alot while using the app haha.

Thankyou!

I see posts doing better than mine in the same tag, posted around the same time…

The quality doesn’t seem to matter. There have been posts I have made where I put 0 effort and it gained traction. Whereas posts I put actual effort into get none.

What is going on here? 🥲

I have been using Tumblr since the good days I suppose now, I returned after a hiatus of a few years to have a blog for a movement I am making along with coming back to being a commissions artist and everyone does not have their own even simple landing page of a blog anymore.

It honestly is a sad open-your-eyes moment for me. As this was one of the reasons I preferred Tumblr over any other platform at the time as even compared to WordPress and other blogs, it was the most affordable and customizable and everyone took advantage of that.

Are all custom blogs dead now? Do they still care if a blog is themed? Is it just a new facebook x X combo?

I have a friend who I do like but she keeps spamming those Gaza scam posts, like it takes me forever to go down my dashboard because she just spam reblogs them. Like literal walls of scam posts. Can I ban words because she doesn't tag the posts, just reblogs?

I don't have the heart to tell her that those posts are scams because her hearts in the right place. I just don't want to have to endlessly scroll every time I go on Tumblr.

I own a private blog where I write fics to a small audience, sometimes people will request i add them to a tag list and generally i try to tag people who requested it, sometimes someone will ask to be tagged through my public or someone who was will stop following me for whatever reason and I'm not sure if they will be able to see the post. I heard they get a notification so maybe they will be able to request once they see the title but is anyone aware? Any help would be appreciated

i recently downloaded tumblr and i have no idea how it workssss ! my whole feed is one thing and well id have perfered for it to look for posts for my "for you page" but it ends quick.. lmk is there smth im missing?

My first thought was to block * x reader, but it looks like wildcards don't work. Is there another way to mass block x reader?

I don’t wanna give up tumblr as a platform, but lately for some reason my art hasn’t been getting any interactions.

Like over a week long period the most I’ve gotten is 6 notes on one art piece, and this art piece took me like 3 days.

It’s extremely demotivating, I want to get back into using tumblr but I don’t like having to deal with the tags, ui, and my slow internet only to get no eyes on the art I spend hours on.

I feel like my account was killed cause I briefly stopped using the platform ((around the time I focused more on my ocs)) and now idk how to get it back.

It’s absolutely ridiculous the most interaction I’ve gotten is 6 notes in over a week long period. Deviantart at this point is a better platform for me…

Tumblr is comparable to Bluesky in terms of interaction for me. That’s horrible, tumblr used to be so good.

And I know I shouldn’t value my art based off interactions, I normally don’t, I dont even post most of my art, but I want my art to get seen when I do? Tumblr is the site I started my art career on, it used to be so good, where is everyone??? What happened to the algorithm?

I’ve been struggling with this since my pics and gifs would turn out so big instead of being normal sized/small and neatly laid out together. Please help!

It literally doesn't load anything

I don't know if I should talk about this, but! Not long ago, I was just scrolling through Tumblr and suddenly a message arrived that my account needed to be restarted. I restarted it and NOW MY ACCOUNT IS BANNED FOR SOME REASON! Moreover, I didn't violate anything, there were no warnings in my email or anywhere else.

I've already written 3 emails to Tumblr support (not all on the same day, of course), but they haven't responded at all, and for the umpteenth time I'm trying to log into my account, tell me what to do about this?

>! For moderation Tumblr, my account is Spiky Miner Show.!<

Hi all! I made a Tumblr account a long time ago with an email address I can no longer access. I want to change my email, but the app asks to put in my password and, well, I don't remember my password! I can't send a password reset to an email I don't have access to, so I'm in a pickle.

When I try to do the help center, it doesn't let me continue unless I click the option that says the email I entered is associated with that account. But I can't use that email because I can't access it! I'm sorry if this is all confusing, but is there anything I can do?

I really wanna remove this ghost follower cause it pisses me off

A recent example of what a bot posted on a pic of BTS i reblogged

I've been plagued by these bots for the last 2-3 months and it's horrible. They threaten very graphic sexual assault/rape threats, threaten to decapitate and leave my dead body in the garbage, call me a pedophile and a groomer, say I deserved to be SA'd as a child, etc. 

I have no idea what I interacted with on tumblr to make them go after me, but it's been 2-3 months of relentlessly reblogging everything I reblog, or them reblogging everything I post and added horrible stuff. They reblog random stuff from me - both my original posts and posts I reblog (which then further target other blogs). 

I know they're not directly targeting me because I've seen other blogs be targeted by them, before and after, with the exact same stuff said.

Apparently  it was a bot system meant "just for" people who have bad political opinions. 

BUT THATS THE THING: I don't reblog or interact with anything like that.
My blog is purposefully APOLITICAL.

These bots are also definitely hitting trans users and minors (both cis and trans) just as bad.

It's been going for the last year, maybe even two years. There's a "pause" in them, but they re-up twice as bad. They all have similar usernames like pikachupregnancy76 and pregnantpikachu82 - it often uses sexual words with Nintendo characters or common furry fandom animals.

I've seen an instance where one of the empty blogs make a inflammatory post about another blog, and then in the notes you see 1,000+ reblogs from similar empty blogs with no comments/tags/etc added. The URLs are nearly identical, just order or the number changed. a huge amount of them use the same drawing of Eevee from Pokémon

It's very clear this is a botting issue. I report for spam and nothing gets done.

I report for sexual content and nothing gets done.

I report for threats of violence.

And. Nothing. Gets. Done. 

I used to check my blog 2-4 times a day and block and report them. When I was on it like this, I'd only get 1-3 blogs.

But I recently turned my queue off and left it, about 10+ of them hit me and go after specific posts I've reblogged (and again, then they target the OP of the post). 

Do you think tumblr is EVER going to address these? I think it's really unfair because the only solution I feel like I have now is to delete this blog (an account I've had since 2015), which I don't want to do because I can't remake a new blog. 

Leaving my blog alone doesn't help, because they'll just go deeper in my blog and continue to reblog stuff I've reblogged. Again I've had my blog since 2015, and I have like at least 10,000 posts (mostly reblogs.)

I can't even comfortably leave my blog alone because I hate what they do to blogs I follow. They say such horrific stuff and minors get targeted by them as well.

Does Tumblr literally not care? Can users even stop this once it starts?

(Also I say I cant remake a new blog because I did make a new account in 2025, but THAT got immediately deleted for supposedly "violating Tumblr's spam rules" even though my new blog was deleted before I could even finish Tumblr's tutorial on how to use the site. I emailed back and forth with them, and Tumblr decided they wouldn't give access to it because it apparently violated Tumblr's TOS that badly... Yet there's at least 3,000 [probably 10,000] of these empty bot blogs????)
