Tumblr! They’re here. Communities are finally here. 

Communities are a new and easy way to connect with the people on Tumblr who get it. You can invite mutuals who share your obsessions to a private Community or start a public Community for the things you love and watch all the new friends pile in. Like a clown car, Communities can fit (almost) as many people in ‘em as you want.

Today, we’re hatching Communities out of their beta shell and launching them at your collective Tumblr experience—for you to enjoy and tinker with as we continue to build them out. We’re talking globally, on web, iOS, and Android. Buckle up, baby. We’re going to be so normal about this.

You can make a Community for just about anything. Art. Gravity Falls. Knitting. Your current D&D campaign. Photography. Obscure ships. The gay people in your phone. Music. Science. Fashion. Design. Baldur’s Gate 3. You’re the wielder of your own destiny. And, thanks to our delightful early testing users, there are already so many for you to join. Hazbin Hotel? Check. Arcane? Check. The Phandom? Check, check, check.

How do you get started? 

You can browse Communities over here. 

Find specific Communities by tapping the Communities tab at the top of the search results page.

Want to create your very own Community? Right this way, maestro.

Here’s a help doc for any questions you might have.

No.

I think @drjewilson sees me as a broken person he wants to believe is good, because it helps him justify sticking around.

Wilson has this terminal condition called "Hope." It’s incurable. He thinks if he just cares hard enough, it’ll drag the monster out of the fire. News flash: I live in the fire. I built a home in here.

So no—he doesn’t see a good person.

He sees a maybe. A puzzle where one piece might still fit if he pushes hard enough and squints.

He wants to believe there’s something under all the damage.

And if there is, I’m not about to give him the satisfaction of finding it.
