Can Sideblogs on Tumblr Post Immediately? Let’s Spill the Tea!
Ah, the glorious world of Tumblr, where sideblogs can flourish in the shadows and any rabbit hole can be explored without judgment… unless you accidentally make your main blog too noticeable. Now, you’re probably wondering if your sideblogs can post instantly and if anyone can trace them back to your main blog. Spoiler alert: it’s a mixed bag.
First off, here’s the juicy detail you need: People generally can’t see your sideblogs unless you play it adorably risky. If you don’t reblog from your sideblog to your main blog or provide direct links, it’s like your sideblog is cloaked in invisibility! Imagine a secret lair, only accessible if you happen to have the right map—or in this case, the right reblogs. If you like or reblog something from both accounts at the same time, eagle-eyed followers might put the dots together, but otherwise, it’s relatively secure.
Now, what about when they do manage to stumble onto your sideblog? Let’s chat about your visibility settings. By default, your sideblog can mash together with your main character. There’s a nifty little setting called “Show author portraits,” which gasp spills the beans! If enabled, your sideblog will flaunt your main blog’s profile picture on every post, effectively announcing, “Hey, this is me!” If you want to maintain the mystery, simply toggle that off, and voilà—you’re incognito!
But wait, there’s more! If you truly want to keep your sideblog as private as possible, dive into those glorious desktop settings. Here are a few sweet tricks:
- Disable “Share posts you like” in your main account settings.
- Disable “Share the Tumblrs you’re following” (same place, main account settings).
- Enable “Hide [account name] from people without an account” (under side account settings).
- Enable “Discourage searching of [account name]” (again, treat this as your little privacy shield).
For ultimate ninja stealth mode, you can even block specific followers from your sideblog. Head over to your sideblog settings, find “blocked tumblrs,” and type in the username. They won’t get a whiff of your side shenanigans!
In conclusion, sideblogs can indeed post immediately, but if you’re not providing breadcrumbs to your main, chances are you’ll be just fine in your whimsical corner of Tumblr.
