Can You Still Post from Tumblr to Instagram? The Answer Might Frustrate You!
So, you’re looking to spread your Tumblr love over on Instagram, huh? Well, grab a seat because we need to talk about a little something called social media compatibility. Spoiler alert: it’s not looking bright for a Tumblr-to-Instagram connection.
Let’s just say this upfront: no, you can’t post directly from Tumblr to Instagram anymore. In fact, many users have voiced their frustration recently about disappearing features that once made this crossover somewhat possible. You may have dreamed of sharing your snazzy Tumblr posts—complete with GIFs and witticisms—to your Insta followers, only to wake up to a harsh reality: it just ain’t happening!
What Went Wrong?
Back in the glorious days (which feels like ages ago, right?), Instagram allowed users to share posts directly to Tumblr. But alas! Just like that one plant we all forget to water, the feature withered away. Some say it disappeared overnight, while others have watched it slowly fade over the weeks. Users have even reported sightings of the feature just a few days prior to it vanishing without a trace. Talk about a ridonkulous social media plot twist!
And if you think you had it tough with that disappearing act, let’s not even start on the downright heart-wrenching experience of trying to share to Twitter. Sure, the option is still there, but you’ll find it pains me to say this, you’re only sending out a weaselly little link that says, “Hey, check out my fabulous Instagram photo!” Seriously, did we time travel back to 2008 when link-sharing was the height of social media magic?
Where Are We Now?
Now, if you’re sitting there banging your keyboard, asking “WTF, Meta?” you’re not alone. Many users are seeing the very same thing. The once-thriving social media feature connections seem to be dwindling faster than the number of interesting cat videos on the internet. Facebook has become the last bastion of cross-sharing, leaving Tumblr and Twitter out in the cold, as if they didn’t pay their electric bill. Well, what a shocker!
As for how this impacts those lovely Instagram posts? Users who wander to the “share” options after creating an Insta masterpiece will see a lamentable sight—the absence of all things Tumblr. It’s about as thrilling as a flat soda at this point.
What Can You Do?
Sure, you can still enjoy your posts on both platforms, but the manual copying-pasting game is real and tedious. You can screenshot your beautiful Tumblr posts and upload them to Instagram, but you might lose some resolution or even the vibe of the original post. Grumble, grumble, grumble!
If you’re still left scratching your head wondering what the purpose of that shiny blue check is, join the crowd! Many feel it merely signifies a VIP membership in a feature-less club.
