Can You Have Too Many Tumblr Sideblogs? Let’s Dive Right In!
Ah, Tumblr! A magical land where creativity thrives, and cat memes reign supreme. But as you explore the vast landscape of reblogs, tags, and gifs, you might wonder, “Can I have too many sideblogs?” Spoiler alert: Yes, you can! But, let’s unravel this conundrum, shall we?
First off, sideblogs can be an excellent way to separate your interests. Maybe you want one for your deep philosophical musings and another for your obsession with rubber ducks. Who’s to judge? However, if you don’t manage these sideblogs properly, they can create more chaos than your sock drawer. If no one knows that your sideblog exists, were you even blogging? It’s like eating ice cream in secret—delicious, but a little lonely.
Can People See That My Sideblogs Are Mine?
Well, yes and no! Let’s talk about that little sneaky feature called “Show author portraits.” If you enable this setting on your sideblog, every time you post, your main blog’s profile picture will be displayed. In other words, a red flag that says, “Hey, look everyone! I made this sideblog. Aren’t I so clever?” If you’d prefer to keep your identities under wraps, just flip that switch off!
To truly embrace the stealth mode, consider these incredible features buried in the depths of the desktop version of Tumblr that can enhance your privacy:
- Disabling “Share posts you like” (trust me, your main blog doesn’t need to leak your love for hamster memes).
- Turning off “Share the Tumblrs you’re following” (shhh…it’s a secret).
- Using the “Hide [account name] from people without an account” setting (because who needs more viewers, right?).
- Enabling “Discourage searching of [account name]” (make them work for it, darling!).
If you want even more hush-hush vibes, you can block anyone from seeing your hidden gems (also known as your sideblog) while still allowing them access to your main account. Just pop into the settings of the sideblog and start blocking. Poof! Magic!
Is There a Limit on How Many Sideblogs I Can Create?
Here comes the fun part! Although Tumblr allows quite a few sideblogs, creating an endless chain of them may raise a few eyebrows. You don’t want to become the infamous blog hoarder of Tumblr! Creating too many sideblogs in one day can lead to a trip to the “ban” zone. A wise person once said, “With great power comes great responsibility,” so use it wisely!
If you find someone with 99 sideblogs, unless they run a land of mythical creatures, it’s likely they’re just collecting URLs, which is a big no-no according to Tumblr’s Community Guidelines. If that’s the case, it might be a good idea to report them.
In conclusion, while you can have a fair number of sideblogs, keeping things organized and private is key!
