Helloooo new followers who recently moved from the bird app, here's a lil reminder if you follow content creators (gif/gfx makers, fanfic authors, etc):
Do not, I repeat, do not repost/reupload/retouch/rewrite our work. We suggest you to reblog instead. It's a win-win solution! We gain visibility, while your blog won't be flagged as a bot. Also if you're still too shy to say hi, leave something in tags. Some of us read them like newspaper!
And if you see us self-reblogging our work, it's one of our ways to let people know (esp for those who live in different timezones) that we just post something. It's a common practice on Tumblr, but if you feel annoyed, feel free to block the tag (a few of us put something like sr/self reblog in tags).
Please enjoy your stay on Tumblr. You may get lost or confused at first, but once you know how this platform work, it won't be hard for you to be in your community.
