Well, so as the thing says, I've updated the software a lot, comissioned an artist for a logo and now is not a hell to install.

What differences does this have over Lemmy?
Edit: I never actually used Tumbler
lemmy is reddit. wafrn is tumblr
Tumblr is a blogging experience that's similar to Twitter, but more focused on the user itself than on the central feed.
- You have your blogs and you post there. Yes, you can have many blogs.
- There's global feeds with posts from all users, potentially including yours.
- Posts can have non-intrusive hashtags, meaning they are not #partOfThePost, but in a separate, smaller, dedicated section of the post.
- You can't post stuff to someone else's blog, but you can comment on their posts. Comments are tiny next to the post.
- You can quote posts, but that makes a duplicate in a blockquote rather than linking to the original post like Twitter
Like the title says, it's meant to be a Tumblr-esque experience.
@technomad @gabboman ok so reddit is like a forum. Tumblr is twitter without sucking that much ass. I mean, it does because ceo has gne full cunt mode, but anyway
take alook how it looks
Okay, but why male models?
Tumblr is short-form blogging platform, inspired by tumbleblogs, which were a thing back in the day (another example of Big Tech lifting an idea and then walling it off). So it's like micro-blogging but without the word limit, so you can throw out a thought or a picture or a video, or go into greater detail if the mood took you. On Tumblr people would tend to have a few on different topics.
I much preferred it to Twitter as it felt a lot more free-form but usually focused on a topic.
