Can You Reveal Your Main Blog from Your Tumblr Sideblogs? Let’s Dive In!
Ever thought about the mysterious world of Tumblr sideblogs? You know, the sneaky little sidekicks we create to keep our main blogs *oh-so* organized? But what happens when you don’t want your main blog to be discovered from these hidden corners of the internet? Good news: you can keep those secrets fairly safe!
Let’s start with the burning question: Can people identify your main blog from a sideblog? Well, the short answer is: mostly, no! Unless you’re sending them a postcard from your sideblog symbolically saying, “Hey, this is my main blog!” through reblogging or linking, they won’t be able to unravel the mystery easily. Even if they’re sleuthing hard, if you play your cards right, your secrets can stay under wraps!
“What a tangled web we weave when we try to hide our Tumblr identities!”
However, there’s a catch, and it involves a nifty little setting called “Show author portraits.” This feature, accessible only via the desktop version (Sorry mobile folks!), parades your main blog’s profile picture on your sideblog posts. If you’re feeling particularly rebellious and want to retain some anonymity, all you need to do is disable that feature! Simple, right?
Privacy Options: Your Sideblog Shield!
Want to up your privacy game? Tumblr has your back—at least if you’re willing to dabble in some settings on the desktop version. Here’s how you can fortify those sideblog secrets:
- Disable “Share posts you like”: Keep those likes cozy in your main account.
- Disable “Share the Tumblrs you’re following”: Guard your closely-knit Tumblr community.
- Enable “Hide [account name] from people without an account”: Become the elusive ninja of Tumblr.
- Enable “Discourage searching of [account name]”: Essentially a “Shh! Quiet please!” for your accounts.
No one likes a nosy neighbor, and neither do you in the vast, sometimes creepy world of Tumblr. For further details, check out the privacy options here.
Still want to cement your secret identity? If you’ve got mutuals that you’d prefer staying clueless, you can also block them from seeing your sideblog. Go to the “blocked tumblrs” section in your sideblog settings and voilà! You can emerge as a mysterious phantom while keeping your main blog entirely separate.
But let’s face it; if your followers are *really* observant, they might catch onto the likes you’re sharing between your accounts. It’s less about making it obvious and more about how detective-like your audience is. When I tried being low-key, I had this unexpected truth bomb when an anonymous user figured out my secret! I quickly learned that being undercover is an art form, and I’m still perfecting it.
In conclusion, your main blog can remain undiscovered as long as you utilize the privacy settings available and disable those author portraits!
