Iceway's Art Blog

ask the mutual who reblogged it if they think this is about sadomasochism or incest

they don't understand

explain that people who are really into incest and pedophilia will often cloak their positivity posts in murky language about acceptance for plausible deniability

they laugh and say "it's a good post"

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

a caveat on op’s caveat is that if your blog/the blog you want to search is older than [whenever they forced everybody into the tumblr.com/user change], most of these tricks will still work whether or not they have enabled “custom theme.”

so one of the things that makes tumblr so tumblr-y is that the userbase has historically been very resistant to being served posts via algorithm. most of us prefer to carefully curate our dashboards by choosing who we follow ourselves and viewing new posts as they come in, without tumblr telling us what we should enjoy first.

what this means from a marketing perspective, however, is that there’s a steep learning curve for new users, so in order to retain them, tumblr has introduced a number of algorithmic features over the years but still allows us to opt out of them.

for the best tumblr experience, my advice is to spend most of your time on your Following tab

the For You and Your Tags tabs can have fun stuff in them, but that’s not where i spend most of my time

but within that tab, there’s still settings that ensure you’re seeing it unmodified. you can change these by going to general settings

then dashboard preferences

then turning off the top four toggles

this may be slightly different on desktop.

obviously, this is a recommendation based on my personal preference, and others may disagree. but i do believe that the reverse chronological (i.e. whatever was posted most recently is on top, regardless of popularity), self selected (i.e. posts made by tumblrs you intentionally followed for this purpose rather than whatever the algorithm thinks you’ll like) dashboard is what makes this place so much better than other social media.

This goes for all incest shippers, but ESPECIALLY incest shippers who have siblings. kindly don’t interact with me. Period.

thanks.

Y'all, a repost is when you copy/download the work and create a new post using the work making it seem as if it's yours. A reblog is you using a site provided feature to share the creator's post directly from the creator so that it's still credited to them and they still get all of the traction/notes from the work.
