TUTORIAL: cutting beta editor posts while mobile on android

hello everyone !! i stumbled upon this super easy and straightforward method to cut posts in the beta editor while mobile for android users and wanted to share !! it requires the installation of a mobile extension compatible browser (firefox or kiwi) and then everything else is done natively within the mobile browser version of tumblr itself. it uses the exact same process with xkit rewritten as the desktop browser site — no need to toggle back and forth between things. after the set up, you can use tumblr to roleplay on mobile almost identically as you do on desktop !! this method is currently only feasible on android. the bottom of this tutorial details what my friend and i tested on iphone for those interested in troubleshooting this for ios further. read on for the tutorial on how to set everything up !!

tldr; if you're an android user, you can install a mobile browser that will let you use xkit rewritten. this essentially lets you perform the same workflow as desktop on mobile to cut posts.

**WARNING** ANDROID ONLY TUTORIAL

this does NOT work with ios. this tutorial was written by a samsung galaxy user so all screenshots are specific to that phone, but it should all look very similar for other android users.

Step 1. Install a Mobile Extension-Compatible Browser

this method hinges on using a mobile browser that allows for the usage of chrome or firefox extensions on mobile.

firefox on android allows for use of many of their extensions on mobile, including xkit rewritten. there are also other integrations between their web and mobile interface as well. the european browser kiwi browser allows for installation of many google chrome-based extensions on mobile. it does not integrate to google chrome in any other way. if you choose kiwi, make sure the icon is of kiwi the bird not the fruit (shown below). 12.27.2023 edit. on my phone ( samsung galaxy ), i've found that formatting is a little easier in kiwi. italics, bold, and strikethroughs all transfer from my notes app when i paste into kiwi ( but not when i paste into firefox ). also, in kiwi, when i press and hold and select "select all" the floating text dialogue disappears and i'm able to easily select the small text tumblr option. the floating text dialogue in firefox doesn't disappear when you select "select all" which makes using the tumblr formatting options difficult. however, you can still achieve small text in mobile firefox by going into html mode and adding "<small>" to the beginning of each paragraph. pick whichever you like. i've tried both on my phone and in terms of mobile tumblr browser and xkit rewritten they appear to function identically for purposes of cutting posts.

Step 2. Install & set up XKit Rewritten

for firefox...

click the kebob menu (three vertical dots) in the upper righthand corner. click "add-ons". scroll to the bottom of the page that pops up and click "find more add-ons." search for xkit rewritten and click add to firefox. (sidenote: i also recommend picking up ublock and privacy badger while you're here).

once xkit rewritten is installed, go to tumblr.com in firefox and log into your account. we will now set up xkit rewritten. click the kebob menu and click "add-ons" again. there should be an arrow next to "add-ons" this time. clicking it will open the list of extensions added to firefox. find xkit rewritten and select it. this will open the configuration menu for xkit rewritten. scroll until you see the trim reblogs option with the green scissors icon and toggle it on.

for kiwi (google chrome extension compatible)...

navigate to the chrome extension store (https://chromewebstore.google.com). you may have to type this in manually or head to google and search for it. in the extension store, search for xkit rewritten. you will be taken to the usual chrome extension installation page as you are on desktop browser. go ahead and click 'add to chrome'.

go to tumblr.com in the kiwi browser and log into your account. we will now set up xkit rewritten. look for the kebab menu (three vertical dots) in the upper right hand corner of your screen and click it.

you will now see the browser settings. scroll all the way to the bottom. find the xkit rewritten option and click it. if after clicking the menu, you only see options for a new tab, incognito mode, settings, etc, make sure you are actively in a tab, not on the page that allows you to navigate between tabs. clicking xkit rewritten will open a configuration menu similar to the one on desktop browser. scroll through the options and toggle on trim reblogs, the one with green scissors icon (as well as any other desired xkit rewritten settings).

for both browsers...

refresh your tumblr page and navigate to your original posts. at the bottom of your posts you should now see the trim reblogs' scissors icon.

Step 3. write and cut a post

the set up is now complete !! you should now be able to write, draft, and cut a post as you do on desktop browser. a refresher : write your reply, draft/queue/schedule your post, navigate to where you drafted/queued the post, click the scissors icon, make sure the first box is checked, and click "trim!" . if you would like a more in depth tutorial on how to step through the actual cutting process with xkit rewritten's trim reblogs, check out my other beta/xkit rewritten tutorial here. images of how things look on mobile are below. you are also able to paste in a gif with the image link and remove the hyperlink text as you do on desktop.

this ends the tutorial portion !!

Notes on iOS

it appears this method will not currently work with ios as apple restricts things with third party extensions in its app store. ( sorry iphone users, we really tried to make it work. take up complaints with apple ). here are the things my friend i tried to get xkit rewritten installed/working on an ios mobile browser.

1. firefox is not able to provide their extensions in ios. the mozilla support page notes: "Apple has created a proprietary iOS extension system which is incompatible with Firefox add-ons and extensions for Android, Mac, Windows and Linux." 2. the kiwi browser that shows in the apple store is not the same one as the one in google play. it should be an icon of kiwi the bird, not kiwi the fruit. the fruit one does not work. 3. we tried the orion browser on iphone and were able to get pretty far but no dice. they were able to install xkit rewritten through orion's firefox extension library but while the configuration menu showed, the xkit rewritten changes did not take on tumblr mobile browser. orion does admit not all extensions work at this time and this may change in the future. 4. another potential method is to get access to xkit rewritten by using chrome's remote desktop access (a tutorial here), but we did not try this.

if anyone is able to figure out a way to install and execute xkit rewritten on ios please feel free to write your own tutorial and please let me know — i would be happy to link it with this one. kindly, please also consider linking this one as a tutorial for android users in it as well.

this concludes the tutorial !! please give this a like and/or reblog if you found this useful. thank you for reading and happy rping !!

[pm] A lot happened. [del: I saw him go through a ton of vampires] [del: When he visited me in hospital I] Have you been at Axis?

[PM] No. I've been in the mines. Every time he's come by he looks... like Emilio. Which isn't great. I can stop by Axis tonight. Are you out of town?

you know, one of the biggest compliments I can ever receive from someone is that they feel as if Hikaru, or really, any of my OCs are canon. 🥺 it makes me feel like the work I've put into each of them has finally paid off and that others genuinely enjoy writing with them.

reminder that the s/t fandom is dying bc we have to wait forever for s5. this is a common thing that happens in fandoms. not getting as much interaction as you used to get is bound to happen. it doesn’t mean that people don’t like you or your muse. it’s literally just because people are lacking the muse for their own characters in this fandom bc there’s no new content to go off of. this, too, is a common thing that happens in dying fandoms, so remember that it isn’t bc of you or your muse being disliked, even if you may feel disheartened by those intrusive thoughts.

Time remains ever stagnant within the confines of the Grand Library. Never does the Carian Queen deign to leave what used to be her prison, instead remaining where the Tarnished has left her - amber egg still cradled in her arms like a child, singing her lullaby to no one but herself. Has it been days, weeks, months? Perhaps it's been years since last she received a visitor. It matters not.

Upon hearing steps treading closer, Rennala tilts her head barely enough to lay eyes upon the intruder. Ah, how nostalgic. Recognition flickers in her for but a second 'fore she closes her eyes again, pressing her lips to the cool surace of the gift she received so, so long ago. Her singing dies down slowly, the tips of her fingers drawing invisible patterns. He is so painfully familiar to her but the memories slip through her mind like water through her fingers. And so she asks of him what she asks of every stranger finding their way here.

Honestly? I think I need a sedative and/or wine with the week I’ve had so far.

My mom has been in the hospital since Monday. She had an artery on her right side that had 99% blockage to her heart. They told her if she went to work Monday night or mowed the yard, she would be dead. The thought of her mowing the yard with my son in the house and her dead in the yard terrifies the shit out of me. So, she finally comes home tomorrow since she got her stent put in today to clear the blockage—through her groin, instead of her arm, cause she can’t make anything easy for herself. Then again, the smoking she’s done for 40 + years is finally catching up to her. If that doesn’t wake her up, idk what will.

Then my husband is in the ER today because he was having chest pains. Work wasn’t letting him go back to work (his HR was too high) and then that turned into an ambulance ride—turns out it was anxiety. The man was taking the memories he had with his father and turning them around and experiencing them again. Cause his dad died in a hospital and he hates hospitals—moms in a hospital, so on and forth. Not fun being alone with my kid who wouldn’t nap unless he was in my arms. I didn’t eat until 3pm today cause I was so drained. And also super not fun when the service desk lady asked if anyone could watch my son while I see my husband. I even said “my moms in the cath lab getting a stent put in and my husbands in the ER—I DON’T have anyone to help me” and smiled with my head turned. 😒

So, I’ve been off for two days for work and just having panic attacks over the stress of everything this week. I don’t get how my husband can play video games and relax while I’m laying in bed and trying to stop myself from being numb from everything. At least we will all be home together tomorrow.
