How to Find When You’ve Been Tagged on Tumblr
Ah, the age-old question of when you were basking in the glorious rays of Tumblr fame, or perhaps, just the plain old fun of being tagged in a post. While Tumblr has a reputation for being a little *quirky*, it doesn’t make it impossible to track down those tagged moments from your past. So, put on your investigative hat, and let’s break this down, shall we?
1. Visit Your Blog Archive
The first stop on this nostalgia train is your blog archive. Translate that into Tumblr lingo as: find that magic button that says “Archive” on your blog. From there, you can select specific months and years to snoop around in and check all your precious posts! You might just unearth a gem where you were tagged in an epic fandom moment.
2. Use the Search Feature
Next, try out the search feature. After about three years, Tumblr might shrug its metaphorical shoulders and stop loading search results for you, which is a bummer if you’re looking for those golden years when your fandom was more active and the posts were just sparkling with energy! But hey, it doesn’t hurt to try!
3. Tackle That Tag Search Like a Pro
If you’re dealing with a *serious case of nostalgia*, be sure to check out this handy-dandy solution. It goes a little something like this:
- Generate a timestamp for the date and time of your choosing using sites like Timestamp Generator.
- Use this URL structure: https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/TAG?before=TIMESTAMP.
For example, if you want to stalk all posts tagged with “AmazingPhil” before his birthday in 2016, you’ll want to craft your URL like this: https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/amazingphil?before=1454198399. Just keep in mind that the results will be in reverse chronological order, so you need to embrace the scroll!
4. Check Post Dates
As you’re scrolling through posts, hover over that cute little tab in the corner of each post. It’ll dish out the exact date and time of its posting, making it super easy to track down when you were tagged and revel in your past glories!
While I haven’t personally undertaken this wild ride of nostalgia, so many haven’t either, and look what they’ve discovered! So, why not add some spice to your day with a little Tumblr hunting?
