Tumblr is just lazy nowadays. There are many fandoms being active though. The spark is long gone since Yahoo got their old shaggy greedy fingers on it. Pornography aside, it is a great place to host a blog. Nice template, can support many types of media. The disgusting part is the 3-4 pages of other filthy fingers (ads-trackers) that welcome you every time you go to <insert-name>.tumblr.com
- Hoasi 8y ago> The disgusting part is the 3-4 pages of other filthy fingers (ads-trackers) that welcome you every time you go to <insert-name>.tumblr.com I moved 1500+ posts (drawings, own content) from Tumblr to Jekyll just to avoid that page. It seems designed to repel visitors permanently. People cannot reasonably opt out of 300+ ads-trackers each time they check a single blog. Another great missed opportunity as a competitor to WordPress, and other blogging platforms, Tumblr will follow the path of Posterous.
- HenryBemis 8y agoI've seen many people keep their blog to git.. I'll have a look at Jekyll, thank you for the recommendation!
- Hoasi 8y agoJekyll is great. This gist is a good starting point (once you are familiar with Jekyll) to migrate from tumblr: https://gist.github.com/ndarville/5f8a7fb93191801de460c5ebe21cc9d4 https://gist.github.com/ndarville/5f8a7fb93191801de460c5ebe2...
