i'll probably be taking a break from tumblr. i'm tired of the transmisogyny in this website, both from its userbase and its staff
you can find me on fedi, [email protected], or on bluesky, magdalunaa.at.w.linuxposting.xyz
also time to spread some wafrn propaganda! awesome webbed site, very nice staff, lots of instances (one of which i run), and it connects with both fedi and bluesky. they allow trans women on their site and ban transphobes :3
you may wanna join app.wafrn.net, or homestuck.fr if that's your thing
fedi is very chill and fun and it definitely needs to grow more. i also like how there is No Capitalism At All, and it's harder to doomscroll for hours
so yea, join wafrn today, leave the transmisogyny site behind
fuck jkr and the people who continue to give her support and success, here's my bonus Wafrn propoganda:
ive been using wafrn for a few weeks now, the community there's been really nice and friendly. its also really user friendly, especially if youre a Tumblr user. it's very open about being inspired by Tumblr while also having it's own distinct feel and personality instead of feeling like a Tumblr clone
if you happen to want to learn more about these sort of decentralized platforms the users there (including Gabbo himself) were very good at patiently explaining things to me when I was confused but really wanted to understand. I've had experiences in the past with people being really rude and dismissive when I've asked tech-related questions and there was none of that attitude here
(the best explanation that made things click for me was comparing it to email in the way people can create accounts different instances but theyre all able to communicate with each other freely. also like shown in this post you can make your instance to post from~)
Optionally there's an easy way to link your Wafrn account to bluesky so I'm able follow all the artist accounts I want from there, repost and engage with their posts without having to actually be on bluesky (which is nice for me bc sometimes the atmosphere stresses me tf out).
they got so many emoji packs and sometimes they add more. My personal favorites are the ghosts and the sharks. (not pictured here but the Miku stocks and Miiverse Yeah get an honorable mention)
(look at these lil guys 💕 so cute)
Other features that make me happy:
-you can have an animated pfp.
-when you post it shoots confetti on your screen (unless you turn it off)
-it has the only good gender select menu
-stepping foot into smaller internet spaces gave me the feeling of the older internet I grew up with where things felt more fun and free and non-coprporitized, before the rise of big social media platforms. it felt lik a breath of fresh air I didn't know I was missing

In case you've wondered where I've been disappearing to, WAFRN is where.
Come join the the fun, it's 100% free to use, ad-free and 100% LGBTQ+ friendly. No talking about JKR or Harry Potter in a positive way allowed!
Also, it lets you connect to your friends on Mastodon and Pixelfed seamlessly even to Bluesky (as an opt in feature) so no need to create accounts there just to see what people are posting!
Sounds awesome? Then click here to be redirected to the registration form.

hello to fellow tumblypoos who may be on the lookout for places to migrate in case tumblr does implode one day but don't know what the alternatives are like. i made accounts on 2 frequently mentioned tumblr clones, pillowfort and wafrn, and tested them as of April 2025. i hope this can be helpful!
SIGNING UP
Pillowfort: sign up free and be put on a waitlist, or pay $5 for instant access. The waitlist time was very short for me. Once you have your account, you get 50 invite links per week that you can send to others for instant signup access.
Wafrn: mods review every signup, but i still got access within a couple hours.
VIBES
Just my own personal observations from a very short period of use
Pillowfort: has a more "cozy and quiet" fandom and media-sharing vibe. it emphasizes using communities when you sign up (but you don't have to join any if you don't want to). most communities that currently exist are either super huge general ones (ex: "Anime") or tiny ones people made for their own friend group but i see potential for fandom-specific spaces to grow.
Wafrn: more unabashedly queer and chaotic (positive) like if you were in a discord server but on tumblr. it's more techy and text post/chatting focused but still has huge media-sharing capabilities. you can host your own server if you know how to. it's recommended you connect your acct to bsky if you want more fandom stuff (or consider a fandom-oriented server elsewhere, tho from what i can tell those don't have a lot of users yet)
MEDIA
Both do not allow multi-select, meaning that you have to upload files one at a time. both allow putting a shitload of images in one post (i didn't even have the patience to upload enough pics to find the limits). but i recommend against mass uploading media. those are individual ppl hosting those servers. consider paying them if you plan to upload a lot.
Pillowfort: only images/gifs, videos must be hosted externally. files must each be less than 2MB. adding additional images is a little janky and sometimes the buttons pop in/out.
Wafrn: video and images/gifs. not sure what the exact file size limit is, but i was able to upload a video that was 145MB so its decently big. media is horizontally scrolled rather than vertically stacked. also note: alt text is required by default, and the "post" button will disappear if any media is missing it.
POSTS
Pillowfort: allows turning off reblogs and comments. you can edit this at any time. seemingly no feature/option to truncate long posts you see on your dash? but i haven't come across any super long posts so maybe it's there. but there is a "read more" feature.
Wafrn: you can turn off notifications for a post, but there is no option to turn off reblogs/comments which i personally find to be a big downside. posts longer than a few sentences automatically get truncated.
LIKES, REBLOGS, COMMENTS, TAGS
Both platforms have likes, comments, reblog systems, and tagging.
Both platforms don't have a page to find all of your Likes. Likes are persistent, and you'll see the colored heart icon if something you liked before crosses your dash, but there is no dedicated Likes page from what i could find.
Reblogging works different on Wafrn, where you have 3 options: rewoot (=quick reblog with no tags), reply (=standard reblog where you have the OPTION to add your own reply and/or tags), and quote (seems to be similar to doing a quote tweet, can also add tags).
If you connect Wafrn to bsky, you can see more posts from there within the site but certain types of interactions don't work.
On Pillowfort, tagging works basically the same as it does on tumblr (can search tags site-wide or on your particular blog). on Wafrn you can currently only do site-wide tag searching, so you're not able to organize your blog if you're into that.
NSFW
Both sites allow NSFW content.
Pillowfort: new post > select checkbox to mark as NSFW (so users with "Show NSFW posts by default" turned off will see the post blurred)
Wafrn: new post > upload media, and then you can mark individual media as NSFW to blur it. Also a content warning checkbox you can select to add in cw tags (must write the tags yourself which leaves room for user inconsistency. there is no preset cw list yet)
DRAFTS, QUEUE
Pillowfort: has a draft, queue, and scheduling system. your queue schedule is editable from settings or the queue page. the queue and draft pages are underneath "Posts", but only show up when there are things in them.
Wafrn: no draft or queue system.
POST VISIBILITY
Pillowfort: in every new post, you can select if the post is public, only for logged in users, only mutuals, or private (only you). you can edit this at any time.
Wafrn: in every new post, you can select if the post is public, only for your followers, only for your server instance, or private (only you). this is not editable once a post is made
BLOG VISIBILITY
Pillowfort: in settings, you can turn on concealed mode which prevents people you're not following from following you or even viewing your blog.
Wafrn: there doesn't seem to be a way to hide your blog profile from certain users/logged out users, but you can change your default post visibility.
ASKS
Pillowfort: Does not have an Ask system, only DMs. Creating an ask system is on their to-do list.
Wafrn: has an Ask system that accepts messages from Wafrn users, logged out anons, or even other fediverse sites (there's a explanation how to do this if you go to someone's profile and try sending a message). you must go to settings to enable anon asks.
FOLLOWING
Pillowfort: by default, anyone can follow anyone. in settings, you can turn on concealed mode which prevents people you're not following from following you or even viewing your blog.
Wafrn: by default, anyone can follow anyone. in settings, you can turn on the ability to review all follow requests.
CUSTOMIZATION
Pillowfort: Dark and light mode for the whole site. blog editing is pretty basic, just changing colors of some page elements (with a little jank). in settings, you can upload multiple icons which you can swap between when making new posts. there are a bunch of pfp frames and badges.
Wafrn: Dark and light mode, plus many other preset themes. blog page editing allows for header images and custom css. you can have emojis (including animated ones) in your name.
MISC
Mobile: both have a mobile app, but Wafrn's is still a bit more experimental. both contain many bugs but when has that not been the case for tungle dot com either
Paid features: Both are free*. Wafrn has no paid features but dev has a patreon/kofi you can support to pay for servers costs. Pillowfort has options for paid icons or frames, higher file size limits (2MB->4MB), or doing a recurring monthly donation to pay server costs and seems to really need the help.
Sideblog support: neither has this yet but both seem to be exploring options for it. you cannot make more than 1 account with the same email.
Blacklist/blocking: both support blacklisting words/phrases and blocking users. Wafrn also supports muting (soft blocking), Pillowfort does not but it's on their to-do list.
Languages: both are only in english
Bugs and future updates: If you want to read more about what features each platform is working on you can check Pillowfort's staff post and Wafrn's github
--------
conclusion: no matter where you choose to migrate to, nothing will be exactly the same as tumblr and will certainly never reach its scale/longevity without consistent user support.
if we want the next gen of the internet to be free of advertising and selling user data, then we will all need to chip in for it. either you pay for your own server to host yourself/others, or you support the people/orgs hosting servers for the rest of us to make sure that the things you love can remain online. i HIGHLY recommend that if you move to any of these places, you consider doing recurring donations. this goes for not just pillowfort and wafrn, but mastodon, neocities, or any other fedi or independently hosted spaces.
fedi sites have a lot of potential, because you can theoretically CREATE a massive social network via connecting lots of little ones together. but interconnecting independent sites is still something that's very buggy and needs working out, and from what i can tell, just because sites are part of the fediverse does not make them instantly compatible/crosspost-able (ppl more experienced can correct me on this)

Jews do not follow the Old Testament. The Old Testament is part of the Christian Bible. Jews are not Christian, we do not follow the Christian Bible. The Old Testament is a collection of books put together by the Christian church. It shares some, but not ALL, books with the Tanach, which is the main set of books Jews read. The Tanach has some books the Christian Bible does not have, and the Christian Bible has books the Tanach does not have.
However, Jews don’t “follow” the Tanach, either. We have a collection of other books, poems, criticisms, discussions, additions, advice, etc., written over hundreds of years that comments on the Tanach. Judaism is not like Christianity. We do not view the Tanach as something we are not allowed to question or comment on.
Tumblr will not die, but this post is Wafrn propaganda
I dont think tumblr will shut down. It may go the "twitter way", it may get worse service, worse moderation (EVEN WORSE YES), and worse support and worse performance.
But it wont suddenly shut down forever. Outages will be longer and more frequent but thats it.
Now, the wafrn propaganda I promised: if you care about a social media that doesn't overtarget the baning of trans people, you should give wafrn a try.
A website inspired by tumblr, that connects with mastodon and bluesky (ok mastodon, fedi etc but you get it)
It allows custom CSS themes, asks, and lots of stuff.
You can do more than like a post, you can EMOJIREACT to it!
An important bit, since it connects with mastodon and bluesky, you can follow other people you know from tumblr. I will keep this linked post updated
ok waffles, so you're coming from tumblr.
List of people you may already know from tumblr
@wilwheaton.net (bluesky required)
@[email protected]
We also have a phone app in beta, both for iphone and android wich you can download here
Registrations are manualy reviewed by the small modteam. Depending on the timezone it can take a few minutes or 12 hours. For safety reasons we do not allow registrations with VPNs (they get abused for accounts dedicated to harrasment and other stuff that I will not disclose for your mental health).
You should give wafrn a try:
Wafrn is a social media inspired by tumblr that connects with the fediverse
How do we plan to host everyone without money? THATS THE NEAT PART, WE DONT! If for any reason you dislike how we handle stuff, you can always host your own wafrn for you and your friends (we are working on the documentation, this is after all a hobby project atm). You can host your own wafrn and still connect with people at bluesky, mastodon and our wafrn server :D
can you tell me more about the fediverse. i dont get it. but i do want to
I think what tripped me up when I was learning was just how much people get caught up in the tech jargon, so here is my current caveman-brained understanding:
Fediverse social media services (Mastodon, Wafrn, etc.) are hosted on a fuckton of random servers that use a shared protocol to interact. So I can be on app.wafrn.net and see posts on my dash from w.linuxposting.xyz (both Wafrn, the Tumblr equivalent).
The same shared protocol means that you can also have compatibility between different services. I'm following some folks from Mastodon (the Twitter equivalent) and their posts show on my dash just like any other Wafrn post. And you can post in Lemmy communities (subreddits) using a Mastodon account. Pretty sick.
It's definitely a little rough around the edges. If someone sends you a link to a post that isn't from your home server, it can be annoying to redirect it so you can actually interact. And services that have unique formatting/gimmicks can look a bit odd from the outside. But I have faith that as more people use it, that'll all be ironed out.
Wafrn connects with bluesky and I would like to post this
I like reminding people that wafrn means We Allow Female Representing Nipples to keep transphobes, bigots, vc funds, and advertisers away, and the rent low
(also we connect with the fediverse too...)
Wafrn is a federated social media inspired by tumblr that connects with the fediverse and bluesky
If you haven't already, check out Wafrn. It's like what if tumblr, but they aren't corporate, they have an integration into bluesky, and they don't hate trans people.
