Description

Welcome home.

Tumblr: home to your new favorite artist. Come for the effervescent digital paintings in every flavor of fandom. Stay for the breathtaking original offerings of those same artists. And, in between all the art: Old internet energy. All the fandoms you could wish for. Enough memes to knock out a moderately-sized mammal. Add to it or simply scroll through and soak it up.

Every piece of life-changing art you discover, every waterfall GIF you gaze at in wonder, every quote you reblog, every tag you curate—that’s all you. Reblog them to show the world who you are, what you love. You’re the explorer. We’re just a map you all keep on making. Welcome home. Make it yours.

If you’re an artist, you’re coming in hot to a community that will love your work. Think of this as your online studio with many options: A portfolio, your calling card for your creations with in-built social engagement and community, or an online drawing board, a place to hash out ideas, share sketches, and gather feedback. Take requests and commissions or join art challenges like Goblin Week, Mermay, Julycanthropy, and Yeehawgust. Discuss the finer points of your favorite brushes. Create OC art for your favorite writers on Tumblr. Sell prints (coasters! mugs! tchotchkes!) of your work—to an audience invested in you and actively seeking these things via our Artist Alley. Create a webcomic (have you heard of Heartstopper? Started here.)

Now picture all of the above, but on the go. That’s what this is.

-

Chances are if you’ve seen it elsewhere, it probably started here. That digital painting you can’t stop thinking about. That text post explaining the exquisite specifics of something you never realized you needed to know. Your dashboard will become a tapestry of all the wonderful, nonsensical, fantastical things you like. Whether you post, lurk in likes, or reblog to your personal online fridge. Whatever your community, you’ll find a ready-made home here.

When you have something to say—a hot take on the finer points of a Virgo moon, Barbie fanfic, an image of your turtle Harold that you simply *have* to share with the world: Shoot your shot with a photo, a video, or a text post. Make an audio post of your ramblings or share your current favorite song via Spotify. We even have a pre-set chat post for all your incorrect quotes.

The reblog starts conversations for everyone, creates jokes, and continues them—sometimes across the world and over the years. Time and space, right here at your very fingertips. Whatever you choose to send into our effervescent digital ether, know that it can, and will, go anywhere. (Unless, of course, you use our post-level reblog controls. Private blog? Private post? All possible here).

Tumblr is the home of fandom. We’ve all got that one special blorbo from our shows. There’s fanart you’ll want to stare at, reblog, stare at again—or create yourself, and share with the community. You can read your favorite ficcers from ao3 *and* see their OC art on Tumblr *and* discuss the finer points of lore with them. Pokémon? Got it. Marvel? Here. Kpop? Check. Supernatural? Of course. Minecraft? Ready and waiting. Star Wars? Yes! Doctor Who? Doctor YOU! You get the idea: it’s all here.

It’s a whole universe out here. If the prospect of creating, reblogging, shipping, and curating feels a little daunting, head over to tips.tumblr.com, where Cat Frazier of animatedtext.tumblr.com will take you through the finer points of Tumblr etiquette—the effervescent, the eeby, the deeby.

So. Sign up, fall in love with some art, follow some tags, and find your place on the dashboard. Then reblog, like, and post to your heart’s content. Or simply drift through the dream you’ve created for yourself—you hold the keys to this kingdom.

Crash

Hi the tumblr app is great but it keeps crashing for no reason. It happened once before and then I just uninstalled it so I continued using tumblr on the website instead. Recently I installed the app back and it was fine for the first few days and now the crash is starting again. I tried to uninstall and install it back but it didn’t work. Please fix this

Current Tumblr Live Centric Layout an Eyesore

It’s a race to the bottom for socmed sites it seems.

The current layout for tumblr at its latest update is a pain to behold and to use. All media on the site is subjected to a painfully non user friendly strange UI with no pause button on videos and a clumsy unreliable zoom for pictures. There are many times where attempts at swiping away or trying to swipe away from media just glitches out and swipes up into another unrelated media post. The ads run on the site is obstructive to the nth degree with the habit to play audio even when my phone is muted. There exists also a glitch where the ads and only the ads jump across tumblr posts just to reach my eyeline, suspicious enough that it may actually be an intended feature.

It’s understood that Tumblr is stumbling through its latest experimental era, but it’s a shame it’s resulted in nothing but a mess so far with UI and features more hostile than any other iteration of tumblr before. It would be ideal for the experimentation to be secluded behind tumblr labs for longer so that it may be workshopped better without steamrolling large swathes of the visually impaired userbase, I fear the current trajectory is just not feasible and more movements to correct it should be accelerated.

Why are the links so sensitive?

The app is always great but since a few updates ago, the links on posts became very sensitive in a way that when I was scrolling the screen and accidentally tapped the links, they automatically open. Like I can’t even scroll past a post with a bunch of links without it opening into a new page. It’s very frustrating and I hope that when the next update rolls out, the issue will be addressed. Otherwise, I’m holding my 1 star for that sensitive links issue.
