We here at cohost believe in doing things differently from other social media platforms. We think our approach is part of creating a healthier platform, but we’ve heard some complaints loud and clear.

Many potential users bounce off of cohost due to a lack of metrics. They want a number that gets bigger the more they post good. We have taken this feedback to heart and today are introducing our most exciting feature yet: Numbers™️.

FAQ

Q. How do I get access to Numbers™️?
A. You already have it! Every post now shows how many Numbers™️ it has at the bottom. Clicking or tapping on the Numbers™️ updates to show the most recent count.

Q. What does Numbers™️ actually represent?
A. Unsure! Eggbug wrote this one and he won’t tell us how it works. If you figure it out, please let us know.

Q. Is Numbers™️ a permanent feature?
A. Numbers™️ is an experiment we’re running this weekend only. Depending on feedback, we may bring Numbers™️ back in the future.

Q. I hate this. Can I turn it off?
A. Yep! Check your display settings.

Q. Unrelated question: why is the site blue?
A. Don’t worry about it.

I have a strong opinion about which rendition of tagslug was chosen, however it makes sense to have contrast with the mango sky

Belarius @belarius4/1/2023, 4:21 AM

I got you. 🤝

Ecter B.@ecter4/1/2023, 6:51 AM

Same. I do prefer the original slug-colored one, with the tag attached ._.

glotch @glotch4/1/2023, 4:08 AM

did i miss the introduction of green eggbug (greggbug, if you will) at some point? he looks very determined

Shel @shel4/1/2023, 4:29 AM

That's olive bug from when Olive garden bought cohost

Belarius @belarius4/1/2023, 4:37 AM

(Looks up from file) It's all true, captured right here on film. (Casually tosses evidence into the table)

glotch @glotch4/1/2023, 4:41 AM

i've been a pawn for olive garden this whole time and i don't even get breadsticks when i make a post. what the hell man. not cool.

eggbug enthusiast @aidan4/1/2023, 4:58 AM

greggbug is actually a deep cut return of the eggbeast, a cohost version of the very very old little guys that used to show up when something went wrong on tumblr

glotch @glotch4/1/2023, 7:43 AM

thank you for unlocking this lore tidbit for me. the comically long cohost lore tapestry lengthens once more

~@modulusshift4/1/2023, 4:09 AM

Oh my goodness eggbug actually has six legs! This numbers update is insane

Also seeing a Numbers of negative several thousand on some older posts is really interesting lol

Dylan Windred @dylanwind4/1/2023, 4:10 AM

I kinda like the blue tbh. I'm excited to see how many numbers I get either way

Now we are all ~~sons of bitches~~ doing numbers

ian @ecn4/1/2023, 4:21 AM

Q: where did the rest of eggbugs legs go?

@Zutaca4/1/2023, 4:26 AM

A: they are being used as arms in a textbook example of centaurism, the evolutionary phenomenon where the front legs of an animal are repurposed as grasping appendages

Q. Are the Numbers™️ Edible?

Xuerle @XRLEAVT4/1/2023, 6:46 AM

Pretty blue theme. 💙

mint @mintexists4/1/2023, 12:12 PM

Is this eggbug art considered canon because this is SHOCKING if true

Belarius @belarius4/1/2023, 6:04 PM

Absolutely. It's going to be a lot of work to revise past eggbug fanart in order to add jowels and a lanyard. At least all four of their legs are being kept warm for the climb.

Sarah 🪶 F1330 @silverspots4/1/2023, 12:16 PM

So can eggbug canonically code now?

somewhat nifty @somewhatnifty4/2/2023, 12:40 AM

i like to think he just mashed his legs on the keyboard and by chance it produced valid code

GoatyGoats.com/links (she 🐯)@goaty4/1/2023, 12:48 PM

is there a way to make it so the website theme is back to normal? i use kiophen's stylus theme since you forgot to make post backgrounds dark for dark mode & this prank has rendered a lot of things (including the crappy little alt text entry box) illegible.

also, seriously, please fix the dark mode! did you know tumblr has multiple themes, including ones that make the post backgrounds not bright white?
