I’m not sure rn. I’m searching for the best platform and am realizing we may not know what it is before 12/17.
Quick takes:
Bdsmlr is tumblr-like and upgrading daily to try to meet demand of incoming #tumblrrefugee s. There is no iOS app, and may never be. Right now a laptop browser is the optimal way to use it. Still - it has very basic tumblr type blogging, archives, tagging etc. With some dev work it can evolve. Remember, this tumblr platform we’ve been using has been evolving -with the help of major financial resources-since 2007.
MeWe isn’t tumblr-like but may be viable, perhaps. They have an app..but it’s a different experience from tumblr.
I’ve registered at Reddit but haven’t had time to dig in. My very quick take is that it’s a different/non-’blog’ experience.
I’ve also registered on Sharesome, Swarmlr and a Mastadon server-but haven’t had time to dig in. Followers have passed along mixed reviews about Sharesome.
->PLEASE pass along info on any other Live/Active tumblr-like platforms. Thx😊
—————
New (TBA) platforms:
There are two or three (or more) possibly tumblr-like platforms rushing to become functional:
Pillowfort is active in locked beta mode. You can pay for early access. I haven’t gotten reviews from anyone whose been inside.
Cumsblr hasn’t revealed itself yet, but you can sign up for a notification when it opens.
There are a couple other TBA platforms that are saying they’ll announce soon/any time
Some of these platforms are tentatively promising importation of our tumblr blogs- which would be HUGE…tho when I questioned an intermediary about importing this blog it seemed like only a small fraction of that would be possible, due to my archive size:(
—————
Right now…
We are all looking at new platforms coming off (for many) a substantial loss of work/content/relationships here on tumblr- so the stability (technical and otherwise) of next-gen platforms needs to be considered.. as much as is possible as we migrate. Some of this is unknowable now, and a roll of the dice seems inevitable..
Right now- in addition to opening discovery accts on several platforms, and waiting for others to go live- i’m inviting/encouraging friends and followers to join me on Twitter @billyguitar77 ..so we can stay in touch.
While Twitter is not a blogging platform like tumblr, it IS a major social media platform- one that allows posting/tweeting of nsfw porn (at least for now;) if you’re interested. I’m posting/tweeting some nsfw there -Twitter style- as we wait to see What/Where is next.
While I don’t believe Twitter is my final destination- it might be for some…tho they could tighten up nsfw rules at some point. In any case Twitter is an ok place to get information about new/next platforms out. So i’m happy to do that and pass along other tumblr PSAs as long as needed.
There are a few Twitter hashtags in use to help you track things; e.g; #tumblrrefugee #tumblralternatives etc. just type tumblr into the search bar and a bunch of related hashtags should appear.
Most indications are that tumblr nsfw blogs will be ‘made private’/disappeared on Dec 12/17. Only the blog owner will be able to view it- and you won’t be able to post /reblog anything…even to a blog that only you can see.
Someone suggested that tumblr messaging might still work..but i’m not assuming anything will be working.
PLEASE FOLLOW @billyguitar77 On TWITTER. For now 😊🎸
Tumblr Banning All Adult Content Starting December 17
Tumblr has updated their terms of service and will be banning all adult blogs starting December 17. That means this blog and all associated blogs will be disabled and removed from public access soon.

Obviously, I’m quite disappointed by this and the resulting loss of over 6 years of work building and maintaining this blog and its community. I will try to set up a mirror of the Anal Only Lifestyle blog in the coming weeks, but I expect that the porn blogs may be gone for good just due to the costs of hosting large amounts of image/video content.
How Can I Stay Connected to the Anal Only Lifestyle Community?
Fortunately, we’re far more than just these blogs! Our community is centralized at the Anal Only Lifestyle Forum and Discord server. Please join and bookmark these links in order to stay connected with this community and follow our next steps as we continue to build and grow the anal only community. In addition to discussion and realtime chat, the Discord server also has porn sharing sections.
You can also find us on Twitter and Reddit.
What Can I Do About My Own Blog?
Tumblr lets you back up and download your blog. Go to your Blog Settings page for the blog in question, scroll to the bottom, click the Export button at the bottom, and wait for an email that notifies you it’s ready to be downloaded. If it’s a big blog, it might be a very large file—this blog was 25 GB!
Alternatives to Tumblr
This list will be updated as I find more alternatives. Please feel free to share any others with me.
- Twitter
This is an obvious alternative, and while it’s not the same as Tumblr, it has some similarities and can reach a wide audience. It does not have a built-in posting queue, though some third party tools may support that. - Reddit
If you have a community, setting up a subreddit is an easy way to establish a public forum for it. Individual users can post content to their profile pages as well, though it lacks advanced features like a queue. - Fetlife
A community for various adult/fetish topics and subcommunities. More of a Facebook-of-kink than a porn sharing platform. - Discord
This is a realtime chat platform that allows you to set up your own server with different channels, with web, desktop, and mobile app support. Another great option for establishing a central community location. Allows the sharing of media as well as all sorts of other options. - bdsmlr
This is a Tumblr clone explicitly created for adult content. It seems to still be in the early stages and is a bit clunky still, but has potential. It also lacks in users, currently, but I’m sure that will change before long! - pillowfort.io
This is another Tumblr-like service in early development. At the time of this post it is offline and undergoing security updates, but keep checking in to see how it progresses. - Sharesome
An adult platform for posting and sharing content. This has some Tumblr-like features, allowing the reposting of content, addition of your own comments and captions, and curation of custom topics. Doesn’t appear to support queueing. - Swarmr
A Tumblr clone that allows NSFW content and supports multiple blogs per account. There aren’t a great deal of options yet, and it doesn’t seem to have much content, but that could change quickly if people join. - Humblr
A Mastodon instance for porn sharing.
- Minds
A blockchain/crypto-based platform that allows posting and tagging adult content. Seems to have issues with searching adult tags, however, and doesn’t have a queue. - Your own self-hosted website
This is one of the safest options, though lacks the surrounding community to help with growth that a service like Tumblr has, so you’ll need to have somewhat of an established community already to migrate to your own platform, but it can be a great option to create a central hub for your followers and community members to base out of.
Reblogging for the Tumblr alternatives.

humblr.social
So, besides the mentioned sharesome and bdsmlr, I have now also created an account at humblr.social … promising things that I see so far:
- there are apps for both android and ios (something that most nsfw-only solutions will never get)!!!
- it actually feels quite fast and more polished than all other alternatives i’ve tried so far.
- the interface is a little confusing at first, but is very tidy and flexible.
- in the web version, you can customize columns in your view. each column can be dedicated to certain feed/tag/user(s)!
- the underlying platform is decentralized and open source.
