so you don't get notifications for when someone shares a post from you that you shared from someone else, which was like 90% of how i found new people to follow on tumblr
on top of that p sure there isn't a way to see if other people added commentary to a post in their reblog that isn't in the version the person you're reblogging it from has, which might be user error on my part but based on the ethos of the devs feels fully intentional
no internal messaging system, and i'm pretty sure i saw a devpost saying that they refuse to implement one, which sucks bc my girlfriends are always sending me posts they like which is so so cute
you also to the best of my knowledge can't tag people in posts
it REALLY feels like the only way to interact with people on this site is through divine luck or total accident. like everyone's page is their own Gary Larsonesque tiny desert island and the only way to talk to other people is to huck a message in a bottle in their general direction and pray
you also get notifications when people like or share your original posts but you can't look at the post itself and see any of that information which baffles me
two different people have shared this post with commentary and i have no direct way to see either of them besides scrolling back through my notifications i'm gonna start biting and gnawing why would you design a social media site like this
yeah this site is like intentionally designed to suppress engagement. theyve gone a bit too far the other way
