Hi! So the gifs you see on Pinterest, Twitter, etc are 99% of the time get taken from here and get reposted there without any credit. If you ask any gif creator on here, they hate this, because making your own gifs take time and effort. There are many active resource blogs on Tumblr with gif making tutorials if you’d like to create and post your own content. If you’d like to add a gif to your post, click on gifs and put something like #thepittedit or #jackabbotedit in the search bar and choose the gif of your liking. Besides all these, just reblog from creators (with the same method, but in the search bar of your dashboard #thepittedit, #whateverEDIT -> this is a tag gif creators use all the time). Reblogs are what make a post visible for more and more people, liking them will not put it on more people’s dashboards, unlike on TikTok, Pinterest or Twitter.
omg thank you so much! i really appreciate the advice it means a lot to me since i just started, i had someone else tell me this too.
i will be more mindful and look into gifs better and credit others. i will also try and learn how to make them myself as well, i appreciate the information, thank you!
