From my time on Tumblr, I’ve never had LESS interaction than ANY OTHER PLATFORM.
Even with the “popular tags,” it doesn’t feel right whenever I post to be met with no one even SEEING my art in the first place. It’s extremely demotivating for me as an artist. That’s WHY I rarely share my art on there in the first place. It just doesn’t benefit me in any way.
In fact, for those of you still using the platform: Why?
There’s plenty of other social media to get recognized on, and I would start by posting to Instagram and Mastodon. At least you’ll get more interaction and people noticing your work — not to mention that there’s less harassment from Tumblr and X users. You will have a better time there since no one is there for “drama” and “tea.”
Personally, I only use Tumblr because someone on there deleted their Instagram and other accounts that they associated with their X and Instagram account.
It’s just not worthy of the praise it receives. Also, the Tumblr Live function just doesn’t need to exist in the first place. It just makes the app and website less usable as an account owner since 2020.
Surprised anyone reads this, if I'm going to be honest.
If no one does, it doesn't matter to me — I'm enjoying myself, and that's what matters 💖
