Can You Make Your Name Unsearchable on Tumblr? Let’s Solve This Mystery!
So, you’ve found yourself pondering this intriguing query: can you, in fact, make your name unsearchable on Tumblr? Well, you’re not alone. Many Tumblr users have had this very thought—some even swore there was a setting for it. But guess what? That feature might have vanished into thin air or never actually existed! 😱
Here’s the tea, my fellow Tumblr aficionado: after some sleuthing (shoutout to our favorite Reddit threads), it’s been confirmed that Tumblr no longer supports the ability to hide your name or allow it to be unsearchable. An email from Tumblr points out that while they used to have this option, it mysteriously fell off the radar—kind of like that one sock that always disappears in the laundry! 🧦 Where does it go?
So, what can you do to keep your anonymity sky-high? Here’s a little list of options that might help:
- Hide Your Blog from Tumblr Search: This cryptic setting can be found in your blog settings. Enable it, and only people who have the direct link to your blog will be able to find it.
- Disable Search Engine Indexing: This way, Google and others won’t show your blog in search results, keeping those pesky searchers at bay.
- Limit Public Access: Fancy a bit of exclusivity? Allow only people logged into Tumblr to view your posts. It’s like an elite club just for your most loyal followers—or your cat, we don’t judge!
- Password-Protect Side Blogs: This nifty feature allows you to lock your side blogs so only those with the password can view it. The catch? You’ll have to forgo followers, likes, and reblogs. Think of it as the secret lair of Tumblr!
Oh, and for those hoping to evade the search via email, fret not! As of February 21, 2023, Tumblr can’t be searched by your email address anymore. Talk about a little win for privacy, right? 🎉
