Curate, connect, and discover
i agree as well, although i'm on the fresher side for tumblr. i only joined in 2021/2022 times for fanart and stuff, and i started branching out into other things like the queer community on here, or the political side of tumblr. of course, on other sites there are the same communities, but i think the lack of an algorithm makes it easier for me to seek those communites out instead of waiting for them to come on come generate for you page.
i find myself lurking more often and getting updates from my moots notifications. I think it's more so because i came from platforms like tiktok and instagram, where likes are liek currency, and i'm a lurker on those sites as well so im not surprised with that being how i act on here as well.
Figuring Tumblr out makes me feel like an old woman. Guess that’s the perk of being new. 🤷🏻♀️
