I hate it when people put characters in their masterlist that they haven't written for yet. Put the damn character in your rags and your post AFTER you've written for them. I don't want to be browsing for a fic of a character I like, only to see "Coming soon!"

It appears Tumblr recently changed a policy regarding post URL generation that makes your previous URLs invalid, which would affect master lists, cross-post references, etc.
The old URLs still work in the mobile app (for now) but they no longer work via browser.
I threw together some screen captures below showing the problem (below the cut). I've also included brief instructions on how to fix the problem.
If anyone has input or alternative solutions, please comment or reblog w/comments to help others :D
I noticed the problem a few days ago. I usually access Tumblr via mobile, but when I publish fics I use Tumblr through my browser.
Right now NONE of my links auto-created prior to 3/12/23 are working on browser, only links that were created after.
For example, I clicked on chapter 4 of a series I published months ago.
Instead of navigating to the hyperlinked page for chapter 4, the page instead functions as though you were searching the blog and gives you search results (or lack thereof).
In the example below, Tumblr says @deadbranch's blog doesn't contain a post when searching "the-killing-moon-chapter-4".
The previous URL that auto-generated when I published chapter 4 was "https://at.tumblr.com/deadbranch/the-killing-moon-chapter-4/8s73ajf05k8y"
You can see a comparison below of the obsolete URL (top) and the new valid URL (bottom).
The new URLs no longer use "at" in front of Tumblr and the initial summary words and randomized alpha-numeric string have been replaced with "www" and a string of numbers only, respectively.
To clarify, I've always published via browser, so the change in URL format comes from a Tumblr policy change, not the user switching from browser to mobile or vice versa.
TO FIX:
Go into the mobile app, click on the hyperlink that doesn't work in browser mode. Select mobile Tumblr.
Click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the post and click. Select "copy link" in the popup.
Once the new URL is copied to your clipboard, return to the page with the obsolete hyperlink, go into edit mode, and update the link.
If you don't mind your links not working in browser mode you don't have to do any of this. I believe most Tumblr users access content through the app, so this may not be a problem for most.
I use my browser frequently for editing and publishing, so this would be a major inconvenience if I left this as-is.
It's possible the Tumblr team is aware of the problem and will fix it, but I'm moving forward with updating my links anyway.
Hope this was helpful.
As mentioned previously, please comment if you have information to add or if there's a better way to fix the issue.
I just found your blog and wanted to check it out but every link I click doesn't work, I know you changed you username and that you fixed it, but it still doesn't work, or is it just me? Anyway sorry if I'm bothering you, but I enjoyed the " MC sacrifice " hc and would like to read the rest. Thank you.
Ahhh I swear Tumblr hates me or something-
So after I saw your ask in my inbox, I went and checked my links and some of them stopped working like you’ve said. Now they all work again for me but I’m not sure if it does for anyone else. Try a link again and let me know. Thank you for bringing this to my attention….again lol
Update: I somehow fixed the general Masterlist but now everything else is messed up. I might have to rewrite the Masterlists completely but I’ll do that later.

I don't know if it's just me, but the links in the masterlist don't work 😭😭
Hey! I’m sorry to hear that, I looked over the master list and it is working on my part, there are only two links that are not working for some reason (a Christmas link on one of the many characters and I think a kidnapped reader one on another) but all the other ones are working. I’m sorry to say I don’t know what’s going wrong.
I do not know if it is only working on my part, but if anyone else is having this issue please tell me and I’ll try to see what’s going wrong.
Furthermore if you had this issue and somehow fixed it, please tell me below so other people can see it. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day!
I think I really, really need to clean up my masterlist. But I’ve discovered the problem with calling your masterlist “I’m not cool enough YET to have an official masterlist” presents a problem because when WILL I know that I AM cool enough?
In my opinion, probably never 🤷🏻♀️Cool is not exactly a word I’d use to describe myself. Unless, my unrelenting willingness to be an unapologetic nerd counts 😉
