if this counts as spam sorry not sorry. I created a tumblr clone two years ago. And then I conected it to the fedi like a year ago. its been hard, its buggy and its fun. Did a big redesign during christmas
This is seriously one of my favorite things about the Fediverse… someone decided to make their own experience of it and build a platform… now it’s a thing.
Kudos clever internet person!
it started as a thing before being conected to the fedi. Its just that seemed like the best way of keeping the project alive and OH MY FUCKING GOD IT WAS HARD AND OH MY GOD I COMMITED SO MANY CRIMES AGAINST CODE
Didn’t Tumblr announce ActivityPub support last month? They still have yet to implement it, so I guess you already beat them to that.
they announced it more than a year ago, but tumblr now is on a skeleton crew. and no, I do not mean gay zombie pirates, I mean just a few of devs. AP is something hard, Ive done it my way but it would not scale to a tumblr scale.
Also, they have to add a lot of stuff to the interface
I cannot for the life of me figure out what this actually is. But congrats on building it and yay for more federated stuff!
its hell on earth
I have to say, I never used Tumblr, but I know that it was suggested as an alternative to either Twitter and/or reddit. How is it different and or similar from microblogging and the threadiverse?
There’s a big culture of Yes And improv, shitposting, and reblogging really old posts on a periodic basis
