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 😊🎸
