How to Comment on a Tumblr Post Like a Pro! 🎉
So, you’re diving into the colorful chaos of Tumblr, huh? Buckle up, because commenting on posts can be a bit of a wild ride! First, you need to do the basics: Are you following any blogs yet? Just like hopping onto Reddit and picking your favorite subreddits, on Tumblr, you follow individual blogs that will pop up on your dashboard like cute kittens in a cat meme.
Here’s the nitty-gritty on commenting:
- Find a post that tickles your fancy (you know, that post that makes you go “OMG, I totally relate!”)
- Look for those two lovely arrows that circle each other—yup, the reblog button. It’s right next to the heart-shaped like button.
- If you want to add a snarky or insightful comment, click that reblog button. A pop-up will appear, allowing you to type your thoughts in the text box right there.
- Remember this exciting twist: only the folks who reblog the post from you will get to see your witty comments. The person you originally reblogged from will see a message like “*howtocommentontumblr reblogged your post and added [your comment]*.”
Feeling like you don’t want to add a comment? No problemo! If you just want to share the post without any added commentary, it’s as easy as holding down the Alt key (or Option if you’re on a Mac) and clicking that reblog button. Easy peasy!
Quick Tips to Keep You on Your Toes
- Notes Galore: Whenever you see a number at the bottom of a post, that’s the count of notes—likes and reblogs included!
- If you’re feeling wild, click that number to see who’s done some reblogging and what they’ve said (if they bothered adding their own content).
And hey, if Tumblr seems a bit like a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, don’t sweat it. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Some days, it’s as confusing as trying to assemble IKEA furniture without instructions!
