Re-introducing Waterfall.social!
Six months ago, we launched our site. It was small, a few bugs here and there, but people liked it. Some of them stuck around, giving feedback and encouragement, and six months on, weâre proud to show it to you once more!
Developed solo over the course of six months, Waterfall is built from the ground up to provide a familiar, functional experience, focusing on creators and community, taking all the good bits from Tumblr and making them worth using, quickly becoming the fastest growing alternative over the last six months!
Waterfall is easy to use if you just want to blog and share neat stuff. If youâre an artist, Waterfall features a constantly evolving system to ensure that youâll be credited for your work. If you upload art, and someone tries to upload it later? Itâs automatically converted into a reblog of your original post. Someone steals it anyway, or you see something that breaks the rules? Donât worry - all reports are manually reviewed, with an average response time so far of less than six hours from report to the content or blog being removed.
Perhaps most importantly, thereâs no company behind Waterfall - itâs fully independent, with no shareholders to please. Just one guy and a couple volunteers keeping an eye on the content. This means no ads all over the place, and no decisions made to sell anything to you. Every single core feature of Waterfall is free, and will be forever, and weâll never monetise your stuff.
The site is still in development, but we already have a ton of the most important features you could want!
Sideblogs! Want to keep content seperate? Each has their own follows and likes list. You can also send asks from them instead of your main blog!
Have a blog dedicated to a certain focus as your main that youâve gotten bored with? Itâs easy to switch your main blog to another.
Works on mobile! The browser version has very few issues on mobile, and a dedicated app is under development.
Dashboard skins! Donât like our colour scheme? Pick a different one. More are on the way, and youâll soon be able to create your own.
Prevent personal posts from being reblogged just by adding a simple tag (#dnr or #do not reblog)!
Blocking! The system is constantly iterated on as workarounds are found.
Worried the staff arenât active and donât know whatâs going on? Letâs put that to rest.
A community Discord! Find blogs, report bugs, and get help directly from the staff.
Manual report reviews! Your salad wonât be flagged for nudity.
Active staff and development team! Reports are usually reviewed and acted on in less than 6 hours, and bugs are fixed within an average of 36 hours from report to resolution. Patch notes are transparent on whatâs fixed, and the kind of reports we get are published every quarter (the latest one is here!)
Thatâs not all! The site is still in heavy development, with the following slated to be added within the next two months:
Commission marketplace! Currently being tested amongst a handful of volunteer artists, youâll be able to use us to find customers and, optionally, protection against scammers.
Frequent Images! Have a sprite or meme you use a lot? No need to keep reuploading it, the post editor will keep it handy for you.
Queue overhaul! Donât just post once per hour, control it down to the minute.
Pools! Follow an entire topic instead of just a blog.
Blog Themes! Select users are trying out the beta now.
Polls! No need to link to strawpoll anymore, itâll be built in to the site.
Like the site? A Tumblr importer will be available in a matter of days.
