Can You Follow Blogs on a Second Tumblr Blog? Let’s Unravel This Mystery!
So, you’ve set up your fabulous new sideblog on Tumblr, and now you’re itching to follow some cool blogs with it, right? Well, buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the twisted realm of Tumblr’s blog features! Spoiler alert: It’s not all rainbows and sunshines, but it’s still worth knowing.
First things first, let’s clarify a little something: you cannot follow blogs using your sideblog. That’s right! Those little side projects of yours can’t do the socializing thing like your main blog. The only thing your sideblog can do to interact is like things and reblog posts (and only if you actively decide to do that). Talk about a social life stunted by design, huh? So, if you’re out here thinking that you can follow your favorite meme blogs or niche communities using your sideblog, you might as well go back to that angsty world of a solitary teen with a crush who was afraid to make the first move!
Now, you might be pondering, “What if someone starts snooping around?” Well, grab your magnifying glass and let’s spill the tea! If your sideblog doesn’t reblog from your main blog or link back to it, it remains relatively private. The digital world is pretty sharp, though, and people could potentially figure out your sideblog identity if they watch your likes and reblogs. So, there’s that added layer of 007-ing you’ll have to keep in mind.
What’s even more intriguing? Tumblr does haunt you with a pesky little setting known as the “Show author portraits.” With this turned on, every post you make on your sideblog might just shine a spotlight on your main blog’s profile picture. Bam! Instant identity reveal! Disable that feature immediately if you want to keep your side adventures a secret. The last thing you want is to have your main blog’s followers stumbling upon your bizarre side interests!
Worried about privacy? You should be! Luckily, the desktop version of Tumblr has some nifty options. You can easily disable “Share posts you like” on your main account settings and “Share the Tumblrs you’re following.” Don’t laugh; it’s not a joke! You can also enable features that hide your name from the unaccompanied spectators of Tumblr. How exclusive!
Finally, what happens if you want to keep your sideblog’s existence under wraps from those annoying mutuals? Just block them from seeing your sideblog. It’s as simple as typing their username in the block settings. Effortless, right?
In summary, while your sideblog can’t follow other blogs, it can still interact mildly. If you want to protect your online sanctuary from prying eyes or annoying mutual followers, you can utilize Tumblr’s privacy settings to maintain that sweet, sweet solitude.
