heyyy okay, so. people are coming here from twitter and instagram and i feel like this has been said so many times but people still aren’t getting the hint: tumblr algorithm doesn’t work the same way as those apps. to boost a post, you have to reblog (the little “repeat” button) the post so it ends up on your dash for other people to see. simply liking the post won’t boost it and have it end up on other people’s dashboards like it does on twitter. on twitter, if someone likes a tweet/post, it winds up on your followers’ timelines like this
(i had to make a fake one because i follow too many people to find one right now)
see? it ends up on your timeline. but here on tumblr, reblogs work like retweets. you press the button and it’s on your dash and all of your followers can see it.
liking a post on here raises the note number, but it doesn’t boost the post.
if you enjoyed a post, hit the reblog button. it’s frustrating for creators and writers (like myself and some of my friends) and blogs that make content to brighten other people’s moods when people simply like the post. boost our content!
Explaining this for you serial “likers” who like to save. I appreciate it. But I really like reblogs better :). Do the same for other original content creators.
People really gotta get over themselves in this community. It’s hypnosis. Enjoy responsibly, don’t be a douchebag with your tongue out trying to get away with shit online. Somebody blocks you? Keep it moving. It’s not that hard. You think somebody wants to trance you, they probably do, but maybe they don’t! *gasp* lol. Definitely would have stayed gone if not for a few friends here.
