#or make banners and icons for your blog

[xolaanii]

Hello guys, I've been debating asking this for a few weeks but I was honestly way too embarassed. However I am now desperate since all attempts to find a job have not gone wel. I truly need help to finish paying my master's tuition fees so I can finally finish my thesis once and for all. right now 200 euro is my goal because I've managed to save up some money myself but any help would be super appreciated.

Again I'm so sorry for asking this since I know so many of us are going through difficult times and just a reblog if you want would be enough thank you so much!

my ko-fi is right here

Like other users here on Tumblr, I'm also blocking and reporting what seems to be bot accounts every day.

So just want to remind you that if you recently joined or have a main blog that's empty, please do something on that main blog that makes you look like a Tumblr user. It should help from being accidentally blocked and/or reported.

[thedragonkween]

Hi friends, just a friendly reminder that I block ageless or blank blogs. Please state your age clearly and consider customizing your blog so that I can see that you’re not a bot! Thank you. 💖

[fingertipsmp3]

Like ultimately staff can do what they want with this website. That’s their business. I just wish they’d stop pretending to care about their userbase while rolling out features basically nobody wants lmao

[batnbreakfast]

PSA to new (possible) followers:

If you don’t have anything reblogged or posted and you only have the generic icon and you only have the generic banner and you don’t have an obviously fandom related name?

You will likely get blocked within a week, because I can’t see a difference between you and a bot blog and I do weed out bots following me very regularly.

the rp aesthetics are getting out of control on this platform

[maniacalshen]

Remember how LiveJournal let you have several icons (or avatars or "pfps" as you might call them now)? And you'd carefully choose an icon to fit the subject matter, your tone, and the blog on which you were commenting or posting?

And it could make your argument look that much snarkier if you used a rude one? Or you could use it to add a multiplier to a joke?

And icons, alongside banners and wallpapers, were a whole genre of fanwork with its own design language, conventions, and norms, including carefully crediting people for them?

That was neat.

New Desktop Dash, No Bueno

Okay so, new dash layout on desktop.

As seems to be a common reaction: not a fan.

Let's talk about some of the issues:

1. Really visually cluttered

The new sidebar crowds out the dashboard content and the bright blue popup notifications (now at the side AND top) and create-post bar pull your eyes in different directions. There is no space for the eye to rest on anymore - it's all noise. The end result is that everything flattens - there's no focal point anymore.

It's also pretty overwhelming - even for someone like me - so I can't imagine it would be very user-friendly to someone who was photosensitive or struggled with visual overload (especially when paired with the high-contrast 'true blue' default site palette and animated icons for the changes-on-tumblr/staff-picks/trending buttons).

2. The activity pop-up now covers dashboard content

This is really bad from a usability standpoint. In the old layout the activity pop-up used to drop down over the recommended blogs sidebar. Now it actively gets in the way of looking at core content. The dash is why we are here, burying it like this is baffling.

The search bar now drops down over the recommended blogs banner instead, but where the old design had non-critical space on each side of the dashboard to visually allow both features to pop in, this new layout is way worse for efficiency. And for what? Having a rarely-used former drop-down menu now permanently active? The old banner with quick-links for the key use-features (notes, messages, askbox) made much more design sense.

It also means that the activity pop-up gets now completely covered by the blog pop-up that opens when you click the notification, so double demerit there. 0/10.

3. It's harder to navigate to the activity page, and the new page-stretch means you can't see new notes without scrolling down

That first bit is kind of a nitpick but cramming the 'See everything' link down at the bottom of a browser window isn't a great navigation choice. (Again, the visual signifiers and eye-direction in this new design are incredibly poor.)

That the main activity page now requires you to scroll to even see the top note due to the new display ratio is really egregious. It makes another key site feature just slightly less convenient and accessible in a very irritating way. Bad choice.

4. The new ratio pushes the Radar and Main Sponsored slot completely off-screen

This one is directed the tumblr staff: that's also a bad choice, guys. That's your main ad-slot for people loading into Tumblr so hiding it is going to hurt both your ad-impressions and your ability to promote the ad-free option. The new layout ratio also means that the in-dash ads are going to be a lot more invasively screen-filling - and let's be real most users will either add-block or leave before purchasing ad-free. I have no idea what the new layout is trying to achieve but if ad optimisation is the goal then this ain't it, chief.

To be honest I cannot comprehend the rationale for this change. I guess it's visually a bit more like Twitter... but that site is currently being demolished from the inside by poor management decisions so maybe it's not the best aesthetic to be aping.

Well then, what do?

Okay so, new dash bad. And so, in true Tumblr spirit: we complain. However, to get results we must deploy the art of kvetching productively.

If you want the old dash back (or at least, a better new-dash design that corrects some of these big weaknesses) what you should do is head over to https://www.tumblr.com/support and lodge a feedback ticket pointing out the problems. The more users who do that, the more likely you are to see an effective response.

Remember, tagging @staff and @support in posts won't fix this. There's no guarantee they'll see it among the notes barrage.

Also: please don't be rude or abusive when you lodge tickets. Whoever is manning those blogs and inboxes probably isn't the person who forced through this change. Save an intern, be polite.

Go forth in disgruntlement to keep this hellhole a hellhome.

quick guide to tumblr communities

First, FAQ: answering with the state of things as of time of posting (June 6, 2024)

You can't change the banner, description or icon of your community (yet!). If you really must, you can always send a support ticket to staff to get it fixed. The ability to edit things is among the planned future updates to Communities as a whole.

You can't invite sideblogs yet. Invites will only go through to main blogs. You can also invite people by sending them the link to your Community (they are not searchable / free to join -again, yet.)

They're in open beta, so of course bugs will happen. The most common ones seem to be having the log in screen show up when you try to check communities, the notification count not going away unless you close the app, getting 'stuck' on your sideblog and not being able to post from your main. So far the workaround I've found most effective (on the mobile app) is to forcefully shut down the app and then try again. Clearing the cache also helps.

The workaround for getting 'stuck' on your sideblog is posting something to your main blog outside of Communities, and after that going back to your community to post from your main again.

About reblogging to a Community: a quick & easy guide (already shared it in the Community Admin place, but I'm making it rebloggable by posting it here!)

Reblogging to your community, as of right now (June 6), only works using your desktop's browser and/or your phone's browser set to desktop mode. It does not work on the app (yet). It also does not work using the quick reblog option. You have to reblog "the old way", aka opening the post as if you're about to add commentary to it.

There, you have to click the top part where your blog url is, here:

Which in turn should open this drop-down menu:

ALT

Here you just click on the tab that says "Communities", which in turn will take you to all the communities you're part of and will let you choose which one you want to reblog a post to:

ALT

Once that's done, you can add commentary to the post and tags if you want (you don't have to if you don't), and then click on the 'reblog' button.

Now, if you don't have the option to reblog to your community while using your browser, that's a bug and you need to report it.

🌟 New

We’ve made some updates to our documentation on how to make custom themes for blogs, specifically about how to handle Neue Post Format (NPF) posts versus “legacy” format posts.

🛠 Fixed

Fixed a previously-ongoing issue on all platforms that was causing some reblog activity items to be mysteriously missing from the activity feed. They’re all back now!

On iOS, we fixed a bug that was causing the Tumblr Supporter badge announcement banner at the bottom of the screen to nag you a bit too often.

We’re fixing up some visual glitches on web that can happen when initially loading feeds, which were causing feeds to jitter into and out of existence briefly.

Fixed a bug that was preventing folks from adding more than one link to custom pages to their blog on the web.

Fixed an issue that was causing some feeds to break because someone… somewhere… figured out a way to include more than the maximum number of poll options in a post. And zero options in a poll.

🚧 Ongoing

In the latest version of the iOS app, some folks are seeing a greyed out clock icon (🕒) on posts, next to the reblog button. This is the Fast Queue experiment from Tumblr Labs settings, but it’s not supposed to be there for everyone like it is now. We’re working to remove it for folks who don’t have the experiment enabled.

🌱 Upcoming

Stay tuned to the @engineering blog for an exciting peek into our latest hackathon, publishing soon!

Experiencing an issue? File a Support Request and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

Introduction

Oh hello there darling~

Welcome to the temple. My name is Elira, the goddess of pleasure. I can also be your goddess, if you wish to reside within these walls~

Oh, I’m getting ahead of myself. You can refer to me as she/her/ma’am/mistress/goddess. My asks are open, so please share with me your pretty little desires with me and the rest of my congregation. Remember to add your pronouns and what parts you have so your Goddess can correctly serve you~

Disclaimer

While I adore being an icon of worship for all, I am TAKEN (by my lovely high priestess), so do not engage with me expecting a relationship.

This is a place of love and inclusion, and so we will not welcome racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes/TERFs/sissy blogs, nazis, zionists, or any other people who spread hate.

In the same vein, no shame will be given to anyone based on their religion, ethnicity, gender identity, sexuality, or body. If such is done, you will be removed.

Beyond that, our style of worship here is a little bit… carnal, and so MINORS/AGELESS BLOGS DO NOT INTERACT. If you are found, you will be expelled at once.

Men are allowed, however do not be weird toward me, as I am only interested in women and non-binary folks. This includes but is not limited to: Trying to make me ‘your girl’, trying to take over my space, misogyny, and any form of Toxic Masculinity.

The religious/cult stuff in this blog is ROLEPLAY. This is not an actual religion, although you are welcome to pretend that it is for your gratification.

MY PFP WAS MADE BY THE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING @blip-boy OH MY GOSH ITS SO AMAZING!!!

This blog’s banner art was made by lathander1987 on deviantart

Alrighty, now on to the fun part~

The Fun Part

This is an RP nsft blog, where we all come together to worship me, thy goddess of love. I am here to take in all of you weary souls and give you a safe place to explore yourself. I am a shapeshifter, able to change into your wildest dreams. In my main form, however, I have tits, a cock, and a pussy. Soon we will have a Discord Server (and even more~) for you all to congregate and live out your fantasies in my domain. Anything can happen in my chapel.

Doms and Subs of all types are welcome. I am a switch, and while I prefer to Dom I won’t bat an eye to bend down and let you do what is best for your worship.

Kinks

I like: Bimbofication, Bondage, Breath Play, Breeding, Cockwarming, Corruption, Cucking (I’m the Bull), Cyborg/Robot, Edging/Orgasm Denial, Free Use, Hard Dom, Harem, Heat, Hucow, Hypnosis, In Nature, Latex, Leash, Light Intox, Light Petplay, Monsterfucking, Musk/Scent, Ownership, Public, Rough, Soft Dom, Three-Plus Participants, Transfem Supremacy, Transformation/Shapeshifting, Voice Play, Worship.

If you like that, PLEASE send me asks so your goddess can fulfill your deepest desire~

Hard no: Blood, CNC, Cucking (I’m the Cuckee), Detrans, Fauxcest, Hard Petplay, Patriarchy, Pregnancy/Birth, Raceplay, Scat/Piss, Violence.

It’s not the biggest list, but if anything seems like it may be like it, it’s not for me. However, it may be allowed in the discord under certain rolls, so worshipers who are into it can fulfill their desires together.

ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED: Age Regression/Pedophilia, Beastiality, Incest, Proshipping, R@pe, Snuff/Gore.

That stuff is NOT ALLOWED. If these are your kinks, please do not bring them into this space or you will be removed.

The End

That’s all darlings~

Feel free to interact and send me asks. We’ll have a place to congregate soon. For now, just enjoy yourselves and listen to my holy scripture. Please be seated (and stimulated).

[djsadbean]

To new ppl following me, please make your blog look lived in. Change the icon, the banner, add a silly description, reblog stuff with your own commentary in the tags-

I need to know you’re not a bot bc all those empty soulless blogs look like bots to me and everyone who’s been here since before twitter.

It’s a lot of peoples first instinct to block those empty blogs.
