Can People See You on Tumblr? Let’s Unravel the Mystery!
Ah, the age-old question of social media anonymity! You’re probably wondering if your deepest, darkest Tumblr secrets are swirling around for all to see. Fear not! I’m here to sprinkle some clarity on this chaotic blogging platform.
When using Tumblr, the only way for someone to discern if you’ve visited their blog is if you engage in some good ol’ fashioned interaction – namely liking, reblogging, or following. Think about it: if a person is diving into the depths of Google Analytics just to figure out your blog habits, they’re either way too into their metrics or just a tad obsessed. Who has the time for that, am I right?
Now, if you’re worried about people linking your main blog to your shiny new sideblogs, here’s the scoop:
Can People Spot Your Sideblogs?
Sort of. It’s complicated, like trying to figure out the plot of an arthouse film!
- There’s a desktop feature called “Show author portraits.”
- This nifty little tool allows each post from your side blog to showcase your main blog’s profile picture, acting like an all-access pass to your identity.
- With this setting enabled, everyone and their mom can see your sideblog is yours, which is cute if you’re into sharing…
If you’d rather keep your escapades private, simply disable that feature faster than you can say “oops!”
How To Cloak Yourself in Privacy:
Just click through a few settings on the desktop version, and voilà! Here are some handy tips to amp up your Tumblr privacy game:
- Disable “Share posts you like”: Because why share your tastes with the world?
- Disable “Share the Tumblrs you’re following”: Keep those follows close to your chest!
- Enable “Hide [account name] from people without an account”: An incognito mode for your Tumblr life!
- Enable “Discourage searching of [account name]”: Keep ’em guessing!
