Hello, its me gabbo the creator of this hellsite. I am totaly not making this post to make sure that lemmy federation works properly
I see the tumblr culture is already present, congrats! Although I never personally used tumblr, my understanding is that more than features or functionality it was very much the culture that its users cultivated that made that site special.
It was the idea from the start
The Foxblob emojis are fantastic
One of the biggest issues with fediverse platforms is poor presentation. This is another good example of that.
how would you do it
Hire a designer.
you pay for it https://ko-fi.com/wafrn
HIRE A DESIGNER, HE SAYS
Its intentional.
Why do these kind of things always have random-name-generator names? Just name it something sane.
Its name stands for “We Allow Female Representing Nipples”, based on the tumblr policy of banning Female Representing Nipples.
If everything was named “Something Sane” how would we tell different things apart?
I never understood what tumblr was. How is it any different from twitter etc… ?
For me, Tumblr was an online culture different from the ADHD of other journaling/blogging platforms like Instagram or Twitter. You could find conversations in tags, gifs didn’t lag my browser to hell, fan content was proliferous there, webpages could be personalized to the lengths you might’ve gone to in MySpace. It was the place to find fandoms and fandom content, even for the most obscure series. There were no ads. And I felt like gifs/texts of porn and kinks were made more accessible when searched for by tags.
There was no algorithm - discovery of new blogs was just subscribing to tags & maybe following who your followed-people followed, the way the fediverse kinda is.
I felt like the presentation was good to relish each post of content with less distraction, and the pagination + scroll browsing was just enough to keep me addicted.
Someone correct me if I’m remembering it wrong.
RIP 2011 Tumblr
I am gona tell you a secret: yes but no. It shows full threads by default, thats a starter
It is Blogger that wanted to become twitter and achieved neither
wow new hellsite!!
Interesting: Activityhub and bluesky integration out the door. Thats a first (I think?)
Only for 18 and up…?
for safety reasons on my side yeah sorry
Thank god. I hate being on websites with kids.
Well this is damned exciting.
Just registered !
Is registration on the wafrn website backlogged? I submitted a registration bout 12 hours ago, and the registration page said to wait a few hours for review. Got nothin in my email just yet. Not that I’m antsy, and there’s no rush; just hoping to know when I should follow up to log in :u
I didn’t get any email confirmation about my submitted registration, I realize. I refrained to keep from spamming, but… Should I actually submit another? :x
Edit: think I saw the fdroid app & submitted my registration form there, mentioning in case it’s relevantThank you for this! I’m not sure how I would’ve found out about Wafrn otherwise, lol
Is PM Seymour on it?
what
This guy’s videos are what got me to get on Tumblr. Though I just end up using it to scream into the void because nobody ever comments or reblogs with added content.
Lotsa good art and OC fanfic tho.
Sure would be nice if the fediverse realized that part of what is holding back adoption is your nonsensical gen alpha service names.
I know bsky is not everyone’s jam. But I promise wafrn will do the best to protect you from stupid shit they do. The main wafrn instance has blocked jd vance as example ;D
this post is totaly not a test of lemmy federation wink wink
i can’t make posts about vance?
You can and theoreticaly you can actualy
