For those seeking out a federated and open alternative to Tumblr, Wafrn is looking extremely promising. It can speak both ActivityPub and AT Protocol, offers a ton of interesting features and customization, and focuses on making an incredibly fun experience.
All I want is to return to Tumblr but without the corpo bullshit
Did you see Automattic is in the process of rolling out a split from “notes” into likes, reblogs, and comments? 🤢
Last I heard from Automattic, they were putting the Fediverse conversion on indefinite hiatus.
Is your news saying they’re starting up again ?
That might be more related to what they’re doing with the WordPress-ActivityPub integration, as a way to work around some of the weird limitations WordPress has for representing notifications and activities other than comments. It’s fairly standard for Fediverse stuff.
Oh, I misunderstood, I didn’t realize this related to Tumblr specifically…
Still, it might make some of the dev work easier, if they do end up migrating the backend over to WordPress.
