tumblr help...HELP

[the_dala]

After fighting the good fight for many years, I have finally given in and joined tumblr. Because Star Wars has taken over my brain (more on that later) and there is zero presence for it here

They changed it recently where the tag option doesn't really exist anymore. It's more of a general search like Google. You can follow searches and that's the extent of it.

If someone's found a workaround for this I'd love to know.

Sigh. So the one thing I wanted it to do doesn't exist anymore, ha. But thank you for the info!.

Tracked tags are kinda super broken right now, tbh. I recommend xkit to help.

[the_dala]

Thank you! That's an extension, right? I'll take a look at it.

You have to find people who post the stuff and follow them, sorry.

I end up doing certain searches once or twice a day for certain topics so I don't miss anything. Then, I add people who post stuff I like from it. The top of the search has the people who post the most stuff in that topic.

Thanks. I just find it sort of ironic that I finally joined tumblr for this one purpose, and turns out it doesn't even do that anymore, ha.

You can follow tags by toggling the little lock on the upper-right, just to the side of the tag itself. And then install New Xkit, because Tumblr is halfway between being a very efficient way of distributing content and a very effective social networking tool and will not make up its mind.

Also, I'm CosmicTuesdays.

Thank you! The tips are helpful, it's just so frustrating that I want tumblr to do this one thing that it used to do and now...it doesn't.

I'm tigerarchivist.

I have no idea why I chose a different name. Just being difficult. :D
