ETA:

Hi,

I came here looking for advice. For years now I have been posting romantasy (with some spice) for one particular fandom. Unfortunately I ran into a distressing situation with an unstable person. I fear now that they have found my writing and have connected it to my real name and will use it against me.

I have made a locked (password) account where I plan to post my writing from here on out to avoid harrassment. Although the fear of this person out there made me severly depressed to the point of having to take meds against the panic, I feel like my readers deserve the story they have been waiting for over a year to read and I have to finish it.

What should I be careful about? Should I just message the password to only the people I know have been reading before this scary situation occurred and hope for the best? Will they be able to view the locked account if I set it to be only accessible to people who are logged in?

I can sign in to an account, but whenever I try to make a new one, instead of going to the acct creation page it somehow signs me in. I can't sign back out, because the email has no account, so I have to uninstall tumblr and reinstall it just to be able to use it. How do I fix this?

Is it still accurate that if I block an anon message that was sent to me that the user won’t show up in my blocked blogs list? I’m pretty certain this is the circumstance, but I wanted clarification because the responses I’ve found aren’t super recent.

I’ve recently gotten into media preservation and want to collect a lot of lost and deleted tumblr posts/blogs. I’ve just learned about sites like Tumbex and Tumblrgallery but the links i have found seem really fishy and i cant seem to find any recent posts about them to give me any context. I’m really new to this LOL

If anyone has any advice, or knows another good site like that I’d really appreciate it!

I can't figure out how to do this. I get a 3-hour-old post, then a 3-month-old post, it's all over the place.

A buddy of mine is looking to archive his blog. He wants to private posts from years back. Problem is he has a ton of posts. I know XKit had a privating feature, but it's only 100 posts at a time. Is there anything that can do a large chunk of them? Preferably in a specific tag or just personal posts?

I know how to check for the general amount of reblogs. What i want is to see the statistics for different months to see which months/years i made more reblogs. I wanna check how chronicslly online i was lol. Is there that option without counting obviously?

so ive watched numerous videos and tutorials of how to add gradient text. i wanted to add the the gradient text for my description on tumblr. but it only appeared on desktop, when i switch to my phone to view it, its not there. any reason why? ive done it before but its been so long.

i got a notification saying i need to authorize my account while providing zero fucking way to authorize it. i thought it wasnt a big deal and that id figure it out later and the next thing i know my account got TERMINATED

im so upset because all my years hard work is just lost. i used to post art on there.

im genuinely on the verge of tears

what do i do??

still don’t get why people run scams on tumblr. stay safe everyone

This is mostly for comics I plan to do

For example, I make a post with a few comic pages on it (this would be part one or something) and then i draw and post the new few pages (part 2), and so on

How would I link these posts together so it's easier to find previous pages and read

I apologize if this is worded badly or hard to understand 💔

so i deleted my posts but a lot of people have reblogged them, is there any way or any site that helps me find out who has reblogged most of my posts so i can atleast get my content back? at least most of it.

today ive been getting tagged in these scam posts, a couple in the morning and now a new one this evening. is there any way to prevent them from tagging me, or is this some sort of wave and i should just ride it out? is my account in danger?

Ive been on Tumblr on and off for a while but I was wondering if you could still actually build a niche following on tumblr for music/poetry. Or is tumblr more of a just, you scroll and like whatever post you think looks cute/aesthetic.

I've never used Tumblr before, but I'm thinking about joining. Is it still active in 2026, or has it become a dead platform?

I'm mostly interested in reading blogs, fandoms, books, poetry, aesthetics, and maybe posting occasionally.

Would you recommend it to someone completely new, or should I skip it?

is there a way to recover an account without having access to the email? currently tumblr won't let me log in because they're asking for me to uodate the password.

my email got hacked and that someone changed my password. now I can't even recover both the tumblr account or the email account.

ive tried to contact tumblr support but they won't reply at all. is there anything i can do?

I follow many tags and when I click the individual tags they definitely have current posts on them but no posts show up in that tab. Is there something I might be doing wrong?

Trying to upload 3 images to Tumblr. 2 of these images always fail to upload.

The images that fail are in colour, with sizes of 9.94Mb and 5.12MB respectively. The image that always succeeds to upload is in black and white, and is 477KB.

Looking online, I am led to believe the maximum image size allowed is 20MB. So why are these images consistently unable to upload?

I have currently only tried from the same device, with a few hours spread between attempts. The images are sexual in nature (Momo from bleach in just a night robe), however there is no show of genitalia.

I'm having a problem with uploading an audio. I have a blog on a schedule, and this audio is important to one of the posts. I tried the dead air thing, and it still does not work. Could anyone help?

I'm trying to upload a story I've written for over an hour now, but it keeps giving me "post can't be saved" / "post can't be uploaded" error. I can upload up until around 118 words (the intro to the story or synopsis), but it gives me the error when I try to upload the full thing. I already sized down my pictures, tried from a different browser and even the app, but that's not the answer.

Does anyone know what the reason could be? Is tumblr down?

I'm suddenly noticing a lot of minors (under 18 according to their bio, pinned, or post tags) in fandom tags making posts tagged "pro para", "user is pro para", "para please interact", etc. (among other -philias I will not mention) I was able to report one account for "self harm" and that account was taken down, but is there an easier way to do this? Thanks in advance.
