Answer: Hey, @vmqtyart!

Thanks for your question. It’s a good one, but this is really just how Tumblr works! You can delve into this more over at the Help Center article about deleting your account, which you can find right here.

Once a post is reblogged, that reblog becomes the property of the blog that reblogged it. While deleting your account or blog will remove your posts, it will not affect anyone else’s reblogged copies.

We hope this helps. Keep ’em coming, folks.

Answer: Hello, @medazzawhore!

So, there’s a shorter answer and a longer answer.

The first: great idea! We love this, and we’ll see what we can do. It may only require a simple update.

The second: that said, as much as we like the idea, even YouTube doesn’t allow it. There are then piracy considerations, and it is a potential content moderation nightmare. Like, for example, the whole Bee Movie. We love this idea, just as we love Bee Movie, but it will require thought and discussion before anything is (potentially) implemented.

Thanks for your suggestion. We will advise you, as always, to keep an eye on @changes for any news on this one.

We love your ideas. Keep ‘em coming, folks.

Answer: Hello there @wideeyedloner!

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, we will not be doing this. The answer is simple: there are simply too many ways it could be used for abuse itself, or reveal personal information like relative physical location. So we would ask that you please continue to report harassment like this to us, and we’ll take care of it.

Keep the questions coming, folks.

Answer: Hi, @mohdasif!

Good news! While it is still on the list, the Tumblr to WordPress migration will definitely unlock ActivityPub for Tumblr! In fact, one big reason for the migration itself is to get us into the Fediverse. When that’s done, we’re in.

The migration is still a work in progress, as we’ve previously detailed here, but we can say for sure that it will include support for WordPress’s existing ActivityPub plugins. We hope this comes as good news.

Thanks for your question, and we hope it won’t be too long. Keep the questions coming!

Answer: Hey, @visuls!

Thanks for getting in touch, here! We will address your questions one by one.

1. when i search my blog why can’t i refine it to see asks?

This is possible! You can do so by searching for something, opening the filters tab, and then selecting it from the drop-down menu, as displayed in the screenshot below.

2. when i view my activity feed why can’t i see activity by the month?

Unfortunately, we are unsure how helpful this would be, given that we only store and show activity from the last three months.

3. when will you guys fix the search function?

We are not sure if you mean the blog search in this question or overall, so we would suggest that you report any issues with searching on Tumblr to Support, giving as much detail and specificity as you can, and they will be able to take a look into it.

Thanks for your questions. Keep ’em coming, people.

Answer: Hey there, @themirokai!

If my post gets reblogged to a Community I’m not in, will I get a notification about that? Or any indication of the activity on that post within the Community?

Not right now, but we actually have this ticketed! It may even be implemented before this answer goes live—you can see the latest over at @changes.

Also, can we get notifications when Community members are reacting to our posts within a Community? Right now I only see the reaction emojis people in the Community have put on my post if I go into the Community and look at the post again.

Hmm, now that’s an interesting idea to discuss with the team! We love this idea, but we don’t support that yet. It’s a good next step after we add activity items that your content was reblogged to a community in the first place. Leave this with us, and we hope to have news for you before too long.

Thanks for your questions, and keep them coming! Have a great day.

Answer: Hey there, @kuromi-hoemie!

This is not working as it should be, and so this feels like a bug to us. If the post has text, we should always show a summary for text posts!

So this feels like a great chance to direct folks to the Support Form instead, for bugs experienced on Tumblr, where you can fill all of this in as much detail as possible and file it as a Support request. From there, someone will take a look into it pronto.

We hope this helps. Thanks for your question!

Answer: Hello there, @matews!

Good question. Unfortunately, this is not up to us at all—it’s up to Instagram to support it or not.

But it would be nice to have. Instagram doesn’t support automated posting, but for manual posting, there might be one or two things that we could do on the backend. Leave this with us, and if we make any progress with it, you will know here or at @changes.

Thanks for your question!

Answer: Hello, @tiikerikani!

This is a good point, and it’s not something we have considered before. But we agree that it could be great to have. There are no plans to make any changes, but we would certainly like to, and we hope it might not be too tricky to implement.

Leave this with us. You’ll get any updates here or at @changes. Thanks for your question!
