Can Others See What You Like on Tumblr? Let’s Unravel This Mystery!
Ah, the age-old question: can others see what you like on Tumblr? Fear not, dear Tumblr user, for I’m here to shed some playful light on this curious conundrum!
First things first, when you hit that cute little heart button on posts, that’s you declaring your digital affection, right? But then the question arises — do others get a sneak peek into your heart’s preferences? The answer is both yes and no, but let’s break it down in a way that makes sense.
If you’re pretty much an open book and your Tumblr blog is set to public (which, let’s be real, most are unless you’re an undercover spy), then anyone can see your likes by simply heading over to yourtumblrname.tumblr.com/likes. This is essentially your very own little gallery showcasing all the wonderful posts you’ve deemed worthy of a love tap. Imagine it as a Tinder for posts, except you’re not swiping right — you’re showing love one heart at a time!
Now, if you’re thinking this isn’t quite what you meant, don’t fret! Here’s a nifty trick: If you want to see your likes in a more “secretive” format, simply fetch that URL and dive into the source code of your likes page. Depending on your browser, you can do this by hitting Ctrl + U or fumbling around your menu until you find “View Page Source.” Trust me, it sounds more complicated than it actually is!
Once you’re there, copy all the source code into a simple text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. Just remember to save it as whateveryouwant.html. Open a new browser window (private mode is ideal for this espionage mission), and drag that file into the browser. Voilà! You’ll see all the posts you’ve liked, although any links to your account will show “webpage not found” — making it a real people site that no one can breach!
But wait, let’s not overlook the simpler solution here! If you’d rather keep your affection under wraps, go to your Dashboard settings, click on preferences, and just switch off the “include posts liked by the blogs you follow” option. Easy peasy!
In summary, yes, others can see your likes, but there are ways to keep things on the down-low! If you need more help, answer queries, or want a crash course on various Tumblr features, feel free to live connect with us! 🌀
