#like either they tweaked the system to push older posts into recommendations and somehow that also reactivates their old notifications

[startrekpotluck]

It looks like some time last night, tumblr's inscruitable inner workings got very enthusiastic about the potluck and sent out notifications on a sign-up round up -- from 2022. This isn't the first time we've come across this particular tumblr glitch (and we've notified support about it), but it's the first time it has affected the potluck blog.

So, if you woke up this morning (or looked at your phone at whatever time it was in your part of the world) and found yourself tagged as a contributor in a potluck you didn't sign up for, that's what happened. We didn't sneakily try to recruit you into our kitchen, Tumblr just sent out a menu from two years ago 😅

We're very sorry about the confusion!

Of course, if you saw the notification and it made you nostalgic for the sweet, sweet taste of potluck, we'd be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for this year's feast! 😁✨🖖

(A big thank you to @thelaithlyworm, @jazzfic, and @yarboyandy for making us aware this had happened and helping us figure out what was going on!)
